Playing around with GotoSocial on a VPS. Love the idea of a simple, self hosted, low resource entryway into the ActivityPub Fediverse.

Just ordered a €22 LilyGO LoRa32 v2.1 to act as a RNode digital radio transceiver to connect to the #Reticulum Network.

Been experimenting with Sideband app on a couple of phones. Utilises Reticulum Network Stack to create cryptographically secure mesh networks, useful in disaster areas. Can also see many outdoor world applications for this. When I understand the protocol further I might add a Rnode modem which creates a LoRa signal to extend the mesh. LoRa encodes information on radio waves. Early days yet for me but fascinating and interesting technology.

Last night I started reading "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" by Shoshana Zuboff which looks to be a fascinating, topical and insightful read. Anybody read it?

Took delivery today of a Jelly Star phone (Unihertz). Only a 3" screen but a real pocket rocket of a phone, costing just €200 & weighing only 116 grams. 48mp camera, 8mb ram & 256gb storage. Sturdy & well made it's small size means it easily fits in a pocket.

Installed a simplified launcher (Niagara) to help digital detox. Going to be my main daily driver for calls, chats & navigation. Social media & all other apps remain on my original phone.
