I'm a grey beard Linux, cloud, grpahics, and high-performance computing. I'm playing with machine learning, robotics, 3D printing on my own time. All those topics are fair game and you might see some photography, e-bike, or other fun things.

California’s attack on 3D printing is heading to the Senate. Here’s how it has changed, and why we still oppose it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/we-can-still-stop-californias-3d-printer-surveillance-scheme #privacy #opensource #3dprinting
We Can Still Stop California’s 3D Printer Surveillance Scheme

Ignoring EFF’s warnings about the dangers and impossibility of implementing a new mandate for 3D print surveillance software, the California State Assembly has signed off on legislation to do just that. In the process, legislators amended the bill to make it even more confusing, while failing to address the risks to privacy, speech, and consumer rights. We must renew our call on legislators to drop this bill as it heads to the state senate, and protect the tools of creators in the state.

@makerblock @MLE_online As MLE said, you can just flash them with whatever you want. It's really easy to flash, you connect it via USB and use a web browser.

My Meshtastic roof node is a Wisblock (low power), with a 10AH LiPo, and a solar panel with MPPT, and a 8dB outdoor antenna. <$75.

I could put a second one up and run Meshcore. If I were smart I'd share the power parts.

I have a few nodes for projects. Once I have 2 roof nodes I can switch the project nodes all I want.

@MLE_online @makerblock Bad assumption on my part? MT doesn't announce automatically. Maybe MC does or defaults to yes? Having a good Internet based map could let you do better routing.

@MLE_online @makerblock When I last looked (*sigh* quite a while ago) I didn't see repeaters in my "hood". I checked again today and there are a few. Not everyone announces to a map, so I assume there are more than the map reflects. I can't judge the connectivity/performance/community until I get my hands dirty and try it.

@MLE_online @makerblock I've been working with Meshtastic (mostly because it was the first to be useable) but following Meshcore. Meshcore has some real benefits in efficiency at the expense of a more "pre-planned" vs "ad-hoc" network. Meshtastic node types are copying good ideas from Meshcore. They are both good options for different use cases and make a healthy rivalry.

I have plenty of radios, I should add a couple Meshcore infrastructure nodes to my home setup.

@dmarti @dirkhh @null @art If I create an e2e app, but store your password (perhaps in the cloud as a backup) is that still e2e? No it's not what we want, but I'd argue is technically accurate, and convenient for the user. As with most cryptography, attacking PKI is usually much easier than attacking a good protocol.

@amd He seems like the nicest guy.

I tried priting TPU for the first time on my K2. It worked and it really wasn't too hard. TPU is a very cool material to work with.

@3DPrintingDad @freecad I seem to always want my sketches fully contained. Who else has freehanded a position for something them added a constraint and finally changed the number to something "round" so it looks like it was planned that way?
