Did you equip these two dedicated repeaters with a solar panel?

Nice to hear your experience, as it sounds similar to where i'm currently at. I'm in the south of Norway and there's not much activity on Meshcore yet. I had set up a repeater on a nearby hill, and then one Saturday I started receiving messages in the public channel. At first I thought someone was passing by in town, but I soon realized (and confirmed) that these were messages from Denmark! Some were 200+ KMs away (mostly over sea). I was chatting to people and even able to login to a remote Repeater. I was flabbergasted. Now I'm using the amazing antenna coverage function within the MC app to find best locations of repeaters, which is a fun pastime on itself, especially in a hilly environment. It's a fun and educational exeperience if nothing else! It reminds me very much of packet radio back in the 90s, similar vibe.

Juggling! I used to juggle when i was a teenager, managed to juggle 5 balls and clubs. Then after decades of neglecting it, i picked it up again and i found the joy in this hobby again! I can highly recommend.

Same, 7342. Both in CLI and web

Agreed, GPG is not the most intuitive tool, but once you are familiar enough with it, it opens some doors.

For me termux and pass (from F-droid) have solved my password management for many years. I never have to struggle finding passwords. The security aspect of it is the least I care about, it's the convenience and simplicity of it.

Since the passwords are all just files on a disk inside a directory tree, you can use any old file system tools to find your passwords. Same for MFA. I store the base32 string inside pass and that's the end of it.

I use pass also on my phone in combination with Termux. I keep the passwords stores in sync using git. pass on android also supports copying your password directly into the clipboard, which is especially nice on a mobile device.

Perhaps we should stop calling open-source software "free" due to the stigma that comes with it. It's no longer a selling point, nor should it have been.

I rely heavily on my shell's history file for my productivity and practically store history entries indefinitely along with a time stamp. I wondered if it was possible to use this data to create a heatmap of how active I have been on the terminal for each day.

No one using hstr? I'm a big fan of that one, though i must admit i haven't used much else other than bash's reverse history search.
