Yet another robot

So basically the meshtastic nodes(s)/gateways are the backhaul to post to a BBS or send email? Or am I missing something, specifically that this is also hosting a BBS and/or email server? Looks neat regardless. I've been finally starting to play around with meshtastic a little bit as well.

Good for you, i used Mac for a long time, then I had to use Windows for work which extinguished all joy... Then finally, I jumped into Linux full time and I've been so happy ever since. Sometimes I have to use Windows so I run that in a VM, but with enough RAM the world is your oyster. I am just a vanilla Debian user, and it's great. I've been enjoying KDE vs GNOME quite a bit. Welcome and enjoy!

Did you ever try the things Network (TTN)? Or just the Lora-meshtastic integration?

Yikes.
"Academic researchers have demonstrated how Apple’s Wi-Fi-based positioning system (WPS) can be abused to collect a worldwide snapshot of Wi-Fi BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) geolocations and to track devices’ movements in a setup that can be used for global surveillance."

Unfortunate, but not shocking. These companies are all just mining their users. Ick.

I guess I think about the CLI and all the potential challenges there, but I wonder if there are users who might try Linux and not have an interest in utilizing the CLI or maybe not know it exists?

New cars are absolute privacy nightmares; from the APLR (automated license plate readers) to microphones throughout the interior (in some cases interior-facing cameras), Bluetooth broadcasting sensors, wifi, cellular connections with obligatory GPS location, driver usage information (ie hard breaking, speeding, etc), and so on, recording of interior conversations, retention of this personal data (regardless of your consent), insurance companies raising your rates based upon data you truly cannot opt out of, it's wildly depressing. There are new articles seeming almost every day.
I don't think you can even disable the cellular/wifi/Bluetooth or it will brick the car due to necessary firmware updates etc.
There was a "lovely" article about boarder surveillance in Texas leveraging APLR/Bluetooth/WiFi tracking of cars from the other day.

Today's PSA: any cellphone in the US can call 911 in case of emergencies without a sim/esim, and without a carrier. Basically the cell modem will check for the best RSSI (or insert other fancy acronym here) tower connection and then use that carrier regardless of what service (or no service) you have.
So even if your phone is telling you there is no service, you have service...for calling 911 mostly.
RE GrapheneOS however, I'm not sure if when you deactivate your cell modem if that deactivates this feature? (Anyone know? #GrapheneOS kids?)
Also, re 911, you usually can text 911 as well. Please don't test this though...just mentioning this because the article linked references emergency calls. Not sure if that was the author's intention...if not, please ignore this lengthy spam post, I am a botnet.

Whos been hardware hacking?
It would be fun to see some content showing off exploits in the lab; has anyone tried that Windows bitlocker key extraction with a logic analyzer from flash? Or anything else fun?
