No internet required... In this video, I build a public Reticulum node and test whether it can bridge completely different networks into one encrypted communication path. I send messages from a normal phone over LTE, through the internet and Starlink, then off-grid over LoRa—eventually using a $20 drone-mounted relay to reach a phone with no internet connection at all.

I have access to this decorative windmill. It’s been in place for decades, spins freely in the wind, and has made millions of revolutions in its lifetime. Its RPM’s are impressive even in relatively low wind.

What are your thoughts on how I should harness this energy?

Wes Streeting, the gay former-health secretary of the United Kingdom who extended the country’s indefinite ban on gender-affirming care for youth, was appointed to a new role as Defense Secretary last month. He is now opening up about the massive uptick in homophobic abuse he has seen since taking on his new position, even as LGBTQ+ community members criticize him for his transphobic policies.

I have two cute frog statues (figurines?). This one is more difficult to draw, I feel like I can't quite get it right. Also, I have trouble thinking of things to draw, so any suggestions are welcome! :))

And thanks you for the nice things said about my first frog!!
