These low frequencies have no problems penetrating a roof - I get 30+ km range - but my house is one of the taller ones and the land is almost completely flat around here. You’re right though that 4ft of brick walls would dampen the signal a lot.

I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I’m too tired to care now.

I sort of did the same, but without the weatherproofing and solar powered. I have a Heltec v3 up in the attic which I can interface with both via bluetooth as well as connect to via wifi.

Ukraine@sopuli.xyz•Russia scores highest Ukraine gains since first year of war
16·4 days agoFascinating choice of headline.
The Russian army captured more than 5,600 square kilometres (2,160 square miles), or 0.94 per cent, of Ukrainian territory in 2025

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Linux gaming is growing! The Roblox client Sober was downloaded 1.3 million times this year.
1·6 days agoOf course I can call them stupid, since they without any information whatsoever as to the communication settings my kids have (none allowed) called my parenting into question.
It really doesn’t get more stupid than that even.

71·9 days agoI started making my own games on an Atari ST at 12 years of age. Never considered the fun I had to be “exploited labor” when I let someone else play them.

201·10 days agoI don’t care about what other parents do, I know what we do. The kids can chat as much as they want with their friends - outside of Roblox.

201·10 days agoCorrect. It’s much easier to just set the chat controls to “no one”.

17·11 days agoNo. Creators getting paid “magically” through ad revenue where any other form of payment system has higher friction is the pattern that needs to get defeated. Flattr was well on their way to a model that could’ve worked, but it still needs the consumers to take an extra step to “fund” what then gets distributed.
Those who produce videos with an idea of making money off views will never be able to move away from Youtube until such a system gets invented.

collapse@lemmy.zip•Antarctica completely collapsed 9,000 years ago under similar climate conditions as Earth has today
2·13 days agoInteresting. This could perhaps explain the geological indications for why our sea levels do seem to have been higher than now earlier during the Holocene.

Emulation@sh.itjust.works•PS4 Emulator shadPS4 Just Released Version 0.13.0
3·14 days agoOhhh that’s interesting. Moving the family off Playstation and onto a self-built Steambox (Bazzite) atm and this could help since many of the games the youngest kid still wants to play are PS4 rather than PS5.
I did a quick check but didn’t see anything about moving savefiles off a real system onto the emulator. Does anyone know?

311·17 days agoThat’s what you do. Awesome to always have a “full tank of gas” when you suddenly need to drive somewhere you hadn’t planned for.
Fossil fueled cars also lose range in the winter so it’s all just about whether your car has range enough for your needs.

Paywalled. Also, the premise that can be gleaned from the article isn’t one anyone with knowledge of autism believes in anyway - that the spectrum would be something linear that you’re just more or less of.
