Can I afford them? No. But I can't afford to keep paying huge amounts for power. If anyone knows where I can buy a reasonable 5-10Kw turbine setup in Scotland let me know. #EnergyIndependence #renewables #solarpower #offgrid #windturbine
Anyone out there experimenting with Reticulum? Building RNodes?
We put together a FREE GUIDE just for fun. 👉 Building a working Reticulum node from off-the-shelf hardware.

OSINT Isn’t About Skill Anymore. It’s About Systems
There’s a moment, if you spend enough time in this space, where your attention changes. You stop looking at individual data points as things to extract. You start seeing them as inputs to a larger structure.https://cha1nc0der.wordpress.com/2026/03/21/osint-isnt-about-skill-anymore-its-about-systems/

very windy, but the sun is out, so into the garden i go. excavation hasn't happened yet because we've had so much rain and my excavator person is only available on the weekends. the good news is that this gives me more time to do some string trimmer work to make the to-excavate area extremely obvious, plus i got more flags to better mark the unusual polygon that will be cleared.
it's very muggy though, so it's time to be sweaty.
Also, I apparently still haven't figured out how to properly load the string trimmer. It goes for a little while, but when it's time to tap it to release more string, the string gets stuck and no more comes out. Time to try again. Luckily I still have the manual.
Edit: in related news, this banana I chopped and removed from the to-excavate area was not done! I put it down as mulch next to a malabar chestnut tree, and here it is putting out a stem (you can see it on the left)! After I took the pic, I dumped a bunch of soil on it. If you want to go, little friend, go!
Systems don’t last forever — sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. This time, we had bad luck.
