Via [Wayback/Archive] @jilles_com@infosec.exchange on Twitter: “Will be taking to meshtastic.org Lora 433MHz modules to @hotelhacker. Might be cool if more people could bring some to setup a larger mesh and play with them. amzn.eu/d/aCgULy4“
Products:
For both boards, this holds:
1. The Meshtastic program is not pre-installed on this product. If you need to install, please check the steps:
github.com/geeksville/Meshtastic-Android/blob/master/README.md
github.com/meshtastic/meshtastic-device/releases
2. If GPS does not work, the following situations may occur:
Install the Meshtastic firmware before and now reset the GPS when you switch to another firmware.
Reset steps: github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-LoRa-Series/tree/master/firmware/GPS_%20reset_test
3. If GPS is weak indoors, it can be used outdoors
4. The GPS antenna is not installed stably, you can check if the interface is attached to the GPS antenna

After having moved, I finally need to take a loog at [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – networkupstools/nut: The Network UPS Tools repository. UPS management protocol Informational RFC 9271 published by IETF at https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9271 Please star NUT on GitHub, this helps with sponsorships!
It supports a whole range of other UPS vendors, and we have a mix of vendors at home: APC, Cyberpower and Victron.
