I was able to get it setup and logging my data locally very quickly. So far everything works just as advertised!

I have a local LLM that I use to create an auto journal of my day, and this was a huge missing piece. Now that it knows where I’ve been out can do a better job of inferring my day.

Thanks for this, it seems to be exactly what I needed! I don’t think I’ll need the pro features, but I’m going to do a year subscription to verify.

This looks really interesting! Getting away from Google Maps has been difficult for me for many reasons, and the Timeline feature is just one of them. I haven’t been able to find a good alternative, and this gives me hope. I’ll certainly be checking it out, thank you!

Agreed, I’ve had a lot of fun watching this series, including season 4. I can understand why some people don’t like it, but I really appreciate the silliness with this series.

It works in Europe too. It uses LoRa (A Long Range radio protocol) to be able to send messages out to other nodes, which can bounce them out to further nodes. A node can be configured to relay through the Internet to reach people in other areas.

I ordered the radio shown below from a kit on Amazon (it’s a Heltec v4 and came with a battery that isn’t pictured) and it took about 5 minutes to setup. Attaching the antenna to the board was the hardest part.

Great points, and there’s some amazing discussions going on here!

One thing I’d like to add is EVERYONE needs to start setting up some meshtastic nodes. It’s really easy to setup (just hook up a USB cable from your computer to a esp32 board, visit a website to get the configuration, and that’s pretty much it), it’s cheap (as little as $30) and it is secure. Build 2 nodes (one to leave at home, and another for your backpack). This way you’ll be able to communicate should the Internet become unavailable or unsafe. You can also use this at a protest so that you still have a means of communication without needing to bring your phone that the Feds will be able to track.

Same. I bought the lifetime pass on sale many years ago, my setup is still working fine without me having to have touched it for at least the past 3 years outside of applying an update from time to time. I don’t stream their free shows or movies and have those setup so that they don’t even show up as an option on my tv.

Do I wish it was still the same company it was a decade ago? Of course… but so far they haven’t impacted my experience to the point that I feel the need to replace it with something else. The second that happens I will be spinning up Jellyfin.
