Geogram started even before AIs were available for coding.

I'm a dinosaur but you remind those complaining in the 90s that Turbo Pascal wasn't real programming because it was too easy to copy code and compile.

I don't have a team of developers nor funding to hire them. AI amplifies by 26 times what I can do in a year. It was never about the code, what matters is what you do with it.

Instead of a fork, there is completely new development going on here: https://github.com/geograms/aurora

BLE/LoRa/radio/internet mesh with reticulum that combines chat, social and torrents over NOSTR (decentralized protoocol).

Still beta, around August should be stable.

A few questions and if someone knows please help:

1) storage limits? 2) can access the internet? If so: bandwidth limits?

Thanks!

Get a computer with a good graphics card and try out opencode. The quality has recently improved a lot (comparable to Claude about 12 months ago) and everything is running locally, so you'd save on costs but most important: nobody can kick you out.

My device is not even listed there, so I suppose many others also run Lineage on plenty of unvendored devices.

Anyone here has been using coMaps and care to share their experience, especially in comparison to OrganicMaps?

My only complaint to OrganicMaps was the slowness to calculate a direction, which in part is certainly because the path is calculated locally instead of some cloud server but old garmin devices also weren't online and can calculate paths on far less powerful hardware. So I'm guessing there is room for improvement on that part.

It won't cause more risks to privacy than either Facebook nor Google have done over recent years and yet there isn't as much comparable outrage as we see against Musk.

The fact is that this is the only mainstream US media platform that isn't controlled by jewish families. That kind of freedom became quite troublesome as more people start to notice how much of their media is silencing the unwanted news.

To flash a new firmware on those devices you just need to place the firmware image of crosspoint on the memory card and then press UP+POWER to reboot and install the new firmware.

My device was the China edition that was locked (USB firmware upload disabled), the memory card method worked fast and easy.

It is always a matter of looking who did the "study" and what are their affiliations.

There are also studies proving that the earth is flat: https://guides.loc.gov/flat-earth

That fedcoin is completely transparent and therefore all transactions including how much is inside each wallet are very visible to governments, which had no issue to persecute anyone donating to truckers in Canada: https://www.bitcoininsider.org/article/149866/canada-chokes-...

There is a reason why the White House supports bitcoin while virtually all western governments chase down any usage of Monero.

Or I2P that even comes with reinforced privacy: https://i2p.net/en/

It works outside the browser too, I've been using it that way.

By that definition you'd include most of the western world nowadays.

USA, Israel, UK are the worst offenders on that matter.

For Motorola the management changed while government customers remained the same, perhaps now adding also the Chinese gov into the mix which certainly will "approve" the hardware within. You know this quite well.

I'd happily talk in detail about donors when you first make public the values and donor list for the bigger ones, which you don't for some shady reason and only reveal a few. Even from those few, your biggest public donor are the people well known to dodge real privacy in crypto faster than vampires dodging holy water. Please disclose how much money you pay to the blog/media to shill this project so frequently.

You won't do any of this. You know that, I know that, you know that I know that and still you will continue to profit on those who will never read these comments.

That is incorrect for Portugal. We didn't took part on the WWII and came out with a rich country that kept growing on double-digits. Eventually it was attacked simultaneouly by the US/Russia proxies for 10 years until 1974.

It was after that US/Russia sponsored this communist takeover of our country that the new puppet governments have thrown the natives into extreme misery until someone from the EU decided to reduce the levels of corruption and misery. We simply swapped one master for another and hasn't been good for our land.

So please don't compare our country to whatever "solutions" brought by the same entities who caused our problems in the first place. We needed almost 50 years to remove socialism from this country and reduce the venezuelan/cuban style poverty forced upon us.

Bin Laden was at some point pushed as a freedom fighter hero by the US government: https://www.businessinsider.com/1993-independent-article-abo...

He received plenty of USD in cash delivered in hands by the US government through the three-letter-agencies. These kind of things always happened, it is unfair and incorrect to blame crypto currencies whereas the overwhelming majority of "special operations" continue to be paid today in plain paper money.

Where I live there is only Monero as serious cryptocurrency to use between people.

Wouldn't risk sending large transactions where everything is visible to others when compared to LTC or any other non-private virtual coins.

That is obviously ignoring that transactions on that old tech are transparent (no privacy whatsover) and governments will persecute whomever donates to inconvenient causes: https://usethebitcoin.com/news/canadian-court-rules-against-...

The reason why cryptocurrencies exist is precisely to detach money from governments, reason why Monero is persecuted by every single western government whereas that coin you mention is endorsed by them. There is quite a world that needs and uses Monero every day.

You can be sure that those truckers were not terrorists.

Courts deemed as unlawful this government persecution to whoever donated to the protest using transparent cryptocurrency: https://usethebitcoin.com/news/canadian-court-rules-against-...

The point is that only those who used monero were safe from unlawful government persecution.

And sending donations to causes the government doesn't endorse.

A good example was the truck manifestation in Canada a few years ago, they went after all the donors for what was a legitimate protest. Anyone using bank transfers or any crypto that wasn't Monero was persecuted.

Those who used Monero had their privacy assured and zero issues.

Ah, thanks. Had the idea the duty cycle restriction would be common.

Thank you for the update.

Doesn't. That is like comparing the network connection with apps.

Network doesn't usually care much about the apps running on top of it.

You'll read a lot of illusions and wishful intentions.

In the end: LoRa is only good for very short text messages at somewhat long distance (up to 10km without special setup) and without bad conditions (obstacles on line of sight, rain/fog). There is an ongoing fight between each of the two frequencies to be used as default and this publication adds another frequency into the battle.

There is WiFi HaLow, a relatively new WiFi protocol which seems to solve the low bandwidth issues with LoRa on relatively confortable distance (likely up to 8km, same as with LoRa in regards to Line of Sight), albeit slightly less affected by weather conditions. The advantage here is permitting to send images and binary data in general, but think about something being sent at the speed levels from 2005 (which in any case is good speed for most usable things).

Then there are other relevant mesh protocols yet to mention here like ESPnow which is my personal favorite. Whereas the other two options above are exotic and with transceivers around the 50 EUR and above. With ESPnow you just need any cheap ESP32 embedded device with an optional antenna to increase range for about 3 EUR (antenna included). With that you get similar returns to WiFi HaLow with less range (about 3 kilometers max on my experiments) but cheap like heck.

To setup internet on a vast compound, WiFi HaLow might be a good investment. If you are with a constrained budget, then ESP32 is your friend. To remember, long distance is limited so if you are considering more than 8 devices exchanging heavy data, you should just go for proper WiFi long range transmitters.

There are more rules being broken. For example, overusing the frequency which effectively prevents others users from sending messages.

In the end, won't be used.

About 2 million portuguese there. Basically all active portuguese adults that have enough financial conditions to travel by airplane.

It was a fantastic leak, based from an excel file asked by a marketing department which forgot it inside a shared folder on the hacked (private) server. There was far more info there than just that, also included the details of employees and more interesting if they were on medical leave.

Curiously enough many of those employees were family members from politicians and well-known people. Some of those in long term sick leave were receiving a monthly salary while conducting live shows on festivals during the summer.

Nothing happened on the news. They all went silent about this case.

link?

Thank you, that fully answers the question. I suppose for the moment there is then a limitation for the size of processes to be run and we need to be generous on reserving the memory depending on the device.

I've seen cases where documentation is seriously lacking but this project is quite something.

Was reading the comments, was able to learn more. So I assume it provides a command line interface.

Question: Can it run binaries compiled for the platform/OS?

This has been a limitation since forever on ESP microcontrollers because they basically have the power of computers and yet the flashing limitation of calculators. Would be good to finally be able to launch arbitrary binaries without flashing. (I know there are tricks right now, just looking for a proper OS-approach).

Or that they are talking about the thunderbolt cable from Apple: https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Thunderbolt

A truly poor name choice.

Like others said: this is implemented on operating system level, locally.

There isn't much escape other than using messengers which encrypt the data locally. Geogram radio is doing this.
