Managed to get the development snapshot of #Freifunk Berlins firmware running on this tiny MikroTik mAP lite. Had to netboot the latest OpenWrt snapshot into RAM and then flash from there. Strangely enough it did not work with the last stable release. MTD didn’t show any devices then. Anyways, it’s a fully functional node now, and boy is it fast. Aaand it consumes only 4W peak.

I’ve acquired this Sony CRT and now I’m using a Raspberry Pi and its Composite Video Out together with Gstreamer to send and sync a video stream from my laptop to it. Works now, but was quite an act because I had do enable the experimental OpenGL drivers for the Pi to get rid of the horrible screen tearing, but the driver does not support overscan properly so I had to adjust manually. And In general Gstreamer can be quite a challenge but the possibilities are endless…

Berlin really is lacking some DAPNET transmitters. My Skyper/Pager is useless without them. 😞

So I’ve finally got my own MMDVM hotspot up and running. I’m using a MMDVM_HS_Dual_Hat for the Raspberry Pi, which I’ve ordered from China but it has all the genuine ICs and works flawlessly so far.

Mastodons design decisions are so poor I don’t even know where to start. And as always no prior discussion took place. Decisions are just made and the Fediverse has do deal with them.

I’m writing my first GTK3 app and it feels like if I’m making first contact with an alien race using a rather peculiar language.

Mastodon has no project governance. Just one guy doing random stuff while ignoring the world around him. Just take a look at the issue tracker: Hundreds of untagged, unanswered issues…
