Just crash already. I’m beginning to think all the talk of AI bubbles is just copium - and yes, I do believe the numbers it just feels like all of this shit is going to be around forever despite it being unsound.

First, check https://meshmap.net/ to see if anyone is around. If not, you can be the first (it just will be very quiet).

Next look for a device. I’m partial to this one: https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html - just make sure whatever you get it’s spec’ed for your region.

Then just download the Meshtastic app on your Android or iOS device and you’re set.

Yup, another vote for brother laser printers. If you’re worried about them applying updates that add DRM to toner cartridges, but you still want network printing you can do one of two things:

1. Give the printer a static IPv4 address and block egress from your router with a firewall.
2. Give it a static IPv4 address but give it a non-functional gateway (e.g. if your gateway is 10.0.0.1, make the printer’s gateway 10.0.0.254)

Heck, do both if you’re paranoid.

Either way it’s not getting updates unless you manually change things or download the firmware updates on your Linux box and apply it that way.
