  • As someone that’s used a pile of Heltec Lora V3: they’re fragile pieces of overpriced shit. I’ve kept buying them as they’ve kept failing and I think I’ve purchased about a dozen in order to keep 2 devices alive, and the latest two are only a few weeks old. I’ve had a brand new one just stop working as I’ve programmed it for the first time, and I handle these things with an ESD strap on because I think they’re just really poorly protected.

    I’m porting my project (a solar pump with radio linked trough float) to eByte e32s and a standard ESP32 because I’m tired of having these things crater if I look at them sideways.

    Can someone explain to me how them having my phone number and being able to find new contacts with their phone numbers doesn’t lead to a whole association chain problem that can be used to repress dissension in countries inclined to do that? I have a hard time believing that the phone numbers aren’t available to state actors. Requiring a phone to sign up seems fishy as fuck.

    Matrix doesn’t need this info and seems to work fine.









  • The virtualization shouldn’t have a negative effect, since containers are just using the host kernel so it’s not much extra overhead.

    I would give it a try, it’s simple enough to set up docker on the pi, turn off your native NC install, and add the docker compose file and stand it up. Or build another SD card with a fresh raspbian install and swap it out.
