The Reticulum network is an amazing design for networking that requires encryption, avoids a "source address" for connections ensuring privacy, mediates flow-control by the destination (avoiding DoS attacks), has only a few bytes of packet overhead making it work over low-bandwidth connections like LoRa, eliminates any central control or authority (like DNS, Certificate Authorities, ISPs, etc.) making the network unstoppable, completely self-configuring and is so lightweight it can run on micro-controllers making it hacker/maker friendly. This looks like how the internet should have been designed, and is surely it's future. Also a great way to network your IoT sensors. #reticulum #networking #lora #maker #hacker #iot

Bought this ESP32-based Esplay Micro V2, and it is sweet! Not only is it a great form-factor and fairly priced, but it comes fully assembled with an SD Card loaded with some music and cool retro games. It's a #DIY #maker dream as I can turn this into almost any device I can think of! #esplay #esp32 #retrogaming #diy

I made a music player using the awesome Pimoroni Pirate Audio HAT for #RaspberryPi. It plays any format including OGG and even videos, remembers where it left off, buttons work exactly how I like it because I wrote the code, and it has outstanding audio quality (24-bit DAC + headphone amp). The UI needs work tho! #maker #diy #audio
