Lees deze, juist ook als je dit nog nooit aan de hand gehad hebt:
Het sluit enorm goed aan op mijn eigen ervaringen als partner/naaste van, patiënt, overlevende en ondersteuner van andere mensen met (al dan niet terminale) kanker.

[Wayback/Archive] Monitor Brandstofprijzen ACM: lichte daling brandstofprijzen gehele keten, diesel weer goedkoper dan benzine | ACM
Via: [Wayback/Archive] Autoriteit Consument & Markt: “⛽Brandstofprijzen over de gehe…” – social.overheid.nl (Mastodon)
⛽Brandstofprijzen over de gehele brandstofketen zijn licht gedaald ten opzichte van een maand. Diesel is aan de pomp weer goedkoper dan benzine. Het beeld dat gemiddelde winstmarges niet bij tankstations, maar bovenin in de keten zijn gestegen blijft onveranderd. Dat blijkt uit onze Monitor Brandstofprijzen.

[Wayback/Archive] Post by @lookitup.baby (Ian Coldwater) — Bluesky on recharge being part of your work
I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:
Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted
The replies add a few other useful tips. Be sure to read the thread on BSKY.
A few days later, this Dutch post basically stated it in a different way:

In a world where it becomes increasingly important to think and act on situations where for various communication via traditional means is not that easy any more, then LoRa (Long Range) wireless networks have been steadily gaining ground: they use open frequencies and for some of these networks, their repeater structure is largely ran by communities of volunteers.
Both communities and devices have evolved so far that its not just for early adopters any more: mere mortals can use it too.
In the LoRa area, MeshCore looks to have become the successor of Meshtastic: [Wayback/Archive] MeshCore – Off grid mesh radio communications system.
The core difference between these two LoRa networks is explained in the Wikipedia article on MeshCore:
MeshCore is often compared with other LoRa-based mesh networking systems such as Meshtastic. While Meshtastic primarily relies on broadcast-style message flooding, MeshCore emphasizes structured routing roles and store-and-forward mechanisms, resulting in different scalability and energy-consumption characteristics.
Communication over the MeshCore network reminds me a lot of three things, in this chronological order:
I think about everything of MeshCore is open source; mostly hosted in the hierarchy at [Wayback/Archive] MeshCore · GitHub.
MeshCore is fairly young which means it will have growth pains, and some hardware pains (like a node being limited to about 500 messages/hour because of physical bandwidth limitations – smaller cells work better than the FidoNet hub/spoke model – see the Dutch section below) but it also cool to see it evolving.
This blog post is going to be long, as a lot of MeshCore information is spread around the interwebz, so there is a lot to link to.

Get it while supplies last, as this Pentagon shaped board game of which parts of the proceeds to to charity is both too much a parody and even better resonates with the original “The Landlord’s Game” (that evolved into Monopoly) to let go:
[Wayback/Archive] AMERICAN DICTATOR? Board Game – E-UP Games
That page does not mention the proceeds, but their home page does, see [Wayback/Archive] Making Board Games Great Again! – E-UP Games
We are a Canadian family-owned company.
Our games are dreamed up, illustrated, play-tested, and brought to life by teenagers who love board games!
A portion of each purchase goes to charity.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
