#RecipeOfTheDay is Bara Brith, that wonderful Welsh fruit-speckled tea bread, which I recommend eating so thickly spread with butter you can see your teeth marks in it when you take a bite (what the Danes refer to as tandsmør)! www.nigella.com/recipes/bara...

Just curious but what's currently the "best" meshtastic raspberry pi hat (or usb dongle) to turn a raspberry pi into a meshtastic base station?

'Three Days of the Condor' hit theaters on this day in 1975. It was one of the all-time great conspiracy thrillers (and RIP Robert Redford obvi):

Apparently i'm a pillock.
