Ik zie zojuist in #nijmegen een repeater van @waag binnenkomen met #meshcore #lora techniek.

Toch bijzonder hoe we samen een open source netwerk tot stand kunnen brengen.

One order: set of 5 antenna's for #meshcore #meshtastic with huge differences in the standing wave ratio (SWR)! 1.2 is good (not bad), the others are barely usable (2.5 is bad!).

Heb nog eens nagedacht nav #ZIVVER en #solvinity, misschien moet je als overheid je kerntaken (zoals data van burgers beheren) toch maar zelf doen, of op z'n minst door een staatsbedrijf. Helemaal zo'n gek idee niet, je eigen ding zelf doen. IT is geen catering.

Ik kan er zo moe van worden. Na overleg in Den Haag gisteren is het mogelijk dat #chatcontrol toch via een achterdeur terugkomt via een soort vrijwillige verplichting. Schijnt nu over besloten te worden. En daarom nog maar eens in de herhaling hoe ver we al heen zijn en hoe eng dit is […]
