Bath time

Declawing cats is animal abuse it really fucks them up mentally. And you shouldn't wash a cat unless they've gotten into something messy, they do a fine job on their own.

What ways do you use meshtastic? Did you setup any friends or family with terminals? It's kinda just like a group text right?

I've been thinking about setting one up myself but I'm not sure what I'd do with it. Im not sure I could convince anyone to use it even if I gifted them a radio. And I get enough of hams just chatting about their gear on HF...

Realism Question About Depicting Antennas

I think this looks excellent, if I drove by that house I'd definitely think a ham lived there. Probably the first door I'd knock on if I were in desperate need of a vacuum tube. The inclusion of many types and sizes of antennas also reinforces that this is some kind of core site for the mesh network infrastructure that this guy is maintaining. I think a cantenna fed dish or a dipole strung across some trees would fit nicely in this scene as well, especially if you're looking for an amateur or distressed quality. This setup looks nicely put together and organized.

This sounds like a really interesting setting! I hope your party is into it. I also really like the art style of this image. It's like an impressionist diagram in an old technical manual.

I kinda feel like old server hardware is key here. I have pretty much my whole lab running on an old R730 I put a bunch of ECC RAM, disks, and a transcode GPU into and it's been essentially flawless for like 2 years. Plus it has an IPMI which I don't think I could live without now. It replaced a setup that would always give me issues which consisted of a bunch of optiplexes, and white boxes. I still hack on pi's cuz it's fun, but all the core stuff is surplus enterprise.
