  Spotted around #MIT in #CambridgeMA. I think @prahou@merveilles.town is in town! #NeverSlop

  If you’re missing your potato in #CambridgeMA, it’s at the Mt Auburn St & DeWolfe St bus stop.

  @prahou@merveilles.town Should I switch to @rostiger@merveilles.town’s RSS format? Would that be more convenient? Or should I leave things alone?

  You never know what you’ll find at the #MIT swap fest! Like 2 full bins of extremely good #Laserdiscs and several #Laserdisc players for $400. #retrocomputing #films #HomeCinema

  Just came back from a lovely performance of The Sleeping Beauty at the Boston Ballet. I’ve become fascinated by ballet, something I’ve never previously been interested in but have watched over a dozen recorded performances and attended several over the last year. True art, athleticism, and a live symphony orchestra… What more can you ask for? Support the arts, support people, support your friends. #Boston #Ballet

  Judging by the discussion around this topic, everyone may be interested in my essay on surveillance, privacy and the right to be unknown. https://ominous.net/The_Right_to_Be_Unknown.html

  It’s a super lovely day outside, so I’m getting breakfast in SoHo at Ruby’s on Prince. It’s not even packed this morning. #NYC

  Visited The Met today and spent some time amongst the works of the masters. Raphael: The Sublime Poetry exhibit was fantastic and ends soon. I highly recommend it. #Art #NYC #Museum #Renaissance #ArtHistory #TheMet #History

  I used to be a Pixelfed user but left once I realized development was essentially stalled and the ActivityPub implementation was critically broken. With the developer concentrating on Loops, a TikTok clone which is filled with reposted TikTok brain rot, I discovered https://subversive.pics. I use Ocular by @rostiger@merveilles.town and now have my own static image gallery at https://img.ominous.net/. There’s a growing community of users in the Ocular webring and participants in Subversive.pics.

  Did a little walk from Central Square over the Harvard Bridge, down Commonwealth Ave under the trees through the Garden, over to Charles St in Beacon Hill then caught the T at MGH back to Central. It’s a nice day out. #Boston #CambridgeMA

  The best part of my day is looking at my phone and seeing this notification. Whenever I see this, I just know @prahou is going to fuck me up in a good way. Though sometimes he’s just warning me to be careful when it’s a new moon. I highly recommend giving them a follow.

  @flexion@oldbytes.space That’s pretty rad.

  Doing some #MeshCore drone repeater testing. Was able to hit the #BlockIsland repeaters in Old Harbor from the southwest. That’s what a couple hundred feet of altitude and line of sight will get you.

  Wow! Just did a #MeshCore test from Pilot Hill, the highest point on #BlockIsland #RhodeIsland, to the W1OP-Tower repeater at the Providence Radio Association. 45 miles line of sight over the ocean and land, the first successful bridging of Block Island to the main New England mesh. This is what the hobby is all about! I was super excited and floored when I saw a message return from my friend Paul in Concord, MA. I was heard in Andover, NH via 12 hops, which is a very long distance.

  Latest #MeshCore repeater deployment at the Providence Radio Association - W1OP. Going up for antenna cable maintenance and securing the radio as high as they can. Hope this helps with coverage in #RhodeIsland. #HAMRadio #AmateurRadio

  Just migrated my static image gallery to Ocular (created by @rostiger). https://nchrs.xyz/ocular.html My feed is also part of the ever exclusive and mysterious https://subversive.pics/ community. How exclusive? Well, maybe you’re not cool enough. But if you’re reading this, you probably are! You see, the cost of membership is to set up your own static image gallery (like Ocular) and tell @prahou to add you. That’s it! Follow my RSS image feed here: https://ominous.net/img/

  RE: https://vox.ominous.net/@occult/116479838116507798 I need to make one of these but for #BlueSky. Seems like a lot of folks are about to earn their "fell for it again" award.

  We now have a New England regional #MeshCore live map and packet analyzer! https://map.newenglandme.sh/ https://analyzer.newenglandme.sh/ Spanning 6 states (#Maine, #Massachusetts, #NewHampshire, #Connecticut, #RhodeIsland and #NewYork) we have combined our regional MQTT feeds. You can see we have work to do on bridging the CT gap but plans are in the works. Each state is coordinating future developments and configuration recommendations as we interact with one another. Thanks @yellowcooln...

  Everyone always references the #UNIX Network Programming book from Wayne's World 2, but you never hear about what I can only imagine is a real NewTek Video Toaster T-shirt Garth wears. This is a deep cut.
