@kravietz True that, but that is a different discussion. Community networks like guifi.net can have commercial operators on top of it.
In Catalonia we're running a little cooperative business to help municipalities to deploy, maintain and train with #LoRaWAN infra. All investment helps grow the community network - xoic.coop

@kravietz my take on Helium: since 2015 we have the open #communitynetwork TheThingsNetwork where peers share their gateways and everyone has free access. >100 thousand people are sharing 1000s of gateways covering at least partially the main cities.

Then comes Helium. They build private networks where people have to pay for access. That's basically reverting back from a community approach to a market exchange model.

I don't buy that. You?

Ecco perché il #nucleare sarebbe necessario, pulito e non pericoloso
''Se si vanno a vedere i numeri, l’impatto ambientale del nucleare è assolutamente paragonabile a quello delle energie #rinnovabili, con l’ulteriore vantaggio che l’atomo non ha il problema dell’intermittenza, che invece è il motivo primario per cui oggi non si può pensare di fare tutto con solare ed #eolico.''

Anyone tried Helium (HNT)? This seems to be basically a private LoRaWAN network where providing running a gateway mines you crypto-currency tokens. Proof of work is replaced by proof of connectivity, power usage by a miner is 5W, especially relevant in the context of debate

Wrote a little doc for SSH CA and host keys/certificates. Mostly so that I can have something to point at that's hopefully easier to read than SSH documentation.

Last week the UK Govt published a new draft of their #OnlineSafetyBill, making UK corps liable for jail time unless they censor "harmful" content (without defining harmful). Targeted at Big Tech it instead directly threatens Matrix. Read matrix.org/blog/2021/05/19/how & raise the alarm.

Penetration testing report from a "highly respected" security company:

* 20 pages of risk assessments, methodology discussion, tables, charts and other nonsense

* conclusion: "this report does not include any findings"

🤦‍♂️

Long working hours are killing thousands of people per year; particularly the traditional Asian "uncle" - and it has got worse since the pandemic started

(this might also be because men of this age are often in middle or senior management positions or heading a medium size family run business so have more responsibilities and stresses)

Didn't realize broadband in the US sucks that much. The picture of itself US likes to paint outside is the land of free market competition, here we see the opposite...

But this review, even if quite critical, definitely intrigued me and I think I'm going to give Starlink a try eventually.
