Is this the ultimate XKCD “Dependency” derivative?
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/29

Besides the August 2025 XKCD infrastructure dependency inspired cartoon on the right, the more recent and great [Wayback/Archive] XCKD: Dependency derivative below is a monumental piece as it combines the recent:
- fiber outage of the Internet Archive
- DoS of Cloudflare by itself
- AWS us-east-1 dependencies outage
- Crowdstrike DoS of Windows machines
- framework-du-jour mentality in the JavaScript world
- many more¹

Interesting; Meshtastic
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/27
On my list of hardware/software to experiment with is [Wayback/Archive] Meshtastic:
An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices
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:
- 433Mhz: [Wayback/Archive] LILYGO LORA32 T-Beam ESP32 Development Board WiFi BLE CH9102F Chip TTGO OLED Module Meshtastic Motherboards: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories
- 866/915 Mhz: [Wayback/Archive] LILYGO T-Beam LORA32 ESP32 Development Board WiFi BLE CH9102F Chip Meshtastic TTGO Mainboards Soldered OLED Module: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories
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

LAN/WAN network building: test and know how to locate your cabling
Posted by jpluimers on 2025/09/04
I have seen too many sites where cabling was laid en never tested before actual use, which meant locating the cabling and faults was a nightmare.
Be sure to have good (which can be very simple, but more complex when Power over Ethernet is involved) testing hardware and use it during installation. You will thank yourself later.
A few videos that can be helpful:
