wouldn’t that either be disabled due to the low battery or eat up the remainder of the battery?
I would think snapping coords, even at low accuracy, would be more power efficient since it technically doesn’t have to connect to more satellites and requires less compute.
great idea, but a suggestion.
instead of just one ping at 2%, do three within 10 seconds of each other. this would determine direction and rate of travel.
that was 30 years ago. for the last 20 years tech has had blank cheques thrown at them.
it’s ruining the industry right now. when the bubble bursts and the datacenters crater it will be a new golden era for farming!
I know plenty of devs who just want to farm, or hunt, or build shit.
I can’t wait for the farming industry to be disrupted when 100,000 seasoned engineers descend upon companies like john deere. they’ll be like a plague of locusts that will blot out the sun forever.
that’s quitter talk. if we can send trash into orbit we can certainly find a way to leverage oceanic motion.
honestly surprised they don’t have something that utilizes the forces of the ocean to generate a charge.
you always gamble with upgrades just before vacation! /s
Signal had privacy problems?? Maybe using Google play notifications?
I’m not a fan of having my personal identity tied to it. last I checked signal still requires a phone number.
looks like I might have been wrong originally, but it looks like signal actually does fwd secrecy as well as post-quantum encryption.
keep in mind I’m replacing telegram. I have put off moving for some years but I have the itch to replace it now. simplex also has the closest feature-pairity to telegram out of all the messengers on that list.
also I’m building and hosting this for very nontechnical users. if they heard tor they’d think it was the “darknet”.
my goal is
this is great!
then again, this thing will be much closer to LEO than the moon, but it would probably still take billions of people to do it to have any impact.
🤷 guess we’re just going to need to work on surface to air anti-material projectiles.
signal has privacy problems.
xmpp/jabber/snikket have encryption and security problems.
from what I can see simplex has everything I need.
My hesitation to using simplex is the selfhosting aspect of it. I’ve been researching the simplex protocol (SMP) and have been thinking out ways to develop a serverless version of it, that way you don’t get charged for something that’s not being used if you host it in the cloud.
anyway, just my 2¢.
I’ve been doing research on this and came down to two.
simplex won because of the robust encryption and selfhosted option.
a close contender was stoneage. I liked all it took was an S3 bucket. I didn’t like that it hasn’t been updated in 3 years.
tech bros/hoes solving invented problems.
unrelated question. if you focus thousands of medium or low wattage lasers to a single point, will their wattage combine to equal that of a high powered laser?
many execs are either on, heavily influence, or will become a part of the board.
when killing a snake you can’t just cut off the head, you have to bury it as well.
Back in 2008-2009 I shared this crazy idea with my peers that Microsoft was moving towards an “always connected” OS that would probably be hosted on their servers, because you can make more money charging someone for access to their data than charging them once for their OS.
they laughed it off and told me that nobody would fall for that.
…who’s laughing now assholes?
