@bruces Low Poly Planet

@bruces so you can adjust it with a wrench

@bruces with a record setting El Niño forming, I wonder what becomes of these islands after this year

@bruces drone base 100%.

@bruces Probably some sad bunch of people will be camped on it with a rack of servers and a network connection claiming they are a new independent crypto state or whatever the fad is then.

@bruces that added a whole new meaning to YouTube shorts

@bruces much cleverer than that. They are BESS systems with chargers attached so they are also building out a grid scale vpp and whilst not confirmed it looks like they will then be earning as a power plant too

The 5min thing is kind of irrelevant too except for PR. What actually matters more is charging big vehicles.

@bruces The real question is why we can't find such peanuts amount of money in the EU instead of taking on another infrastructure dependency on the Chinese.

@bruces Russians are using meshtastic on the front at this point.

@bruces Or for the very old, sneakernet

@bruces Great post - thanks! Suggested alt text if you want a quick copy and paste solution (some folks won't boost without it): Table comparing the features of decentralized messaging protocols Briar, BitChat, and Keet across architecture, transport protocols, encryption, identity verification, offline capability, metadata protection, file transfer limit, main platforms, asynchronous sync, and economic layer.

@bruces bitchat shouldn't be used for anything important. Vibe-coder creator itself said the encryption isn't there yet
