I’m yellowcooln. I turn coffee into MeshCore projects.

I develop MeshCore tools like the live map now in use by various regional meshes, mesh health check dashboard, and other projects that help make mesh networks more usable.

I have a 2014 ThinkPad. I run a blog with €5/month. Zero cloud.

That's what I write about. Not paranoia, just what's actually in the documents.
