So, like you Constant Readers have been reading, I’ve been fiddling around with a lot of new tools. Reticulum, FigureShift, IPFS (InterPlanetary File System), Python, SQLite3, Bears, etc. These things all spur new ideas and projects. Been toying a lot with the concepts of using cryptographic hashes as Universal Identifiers, localized replicated databases, Peer-to-Peer data […]

Toshi Station Gets a New rNode Radio, plus Updates to TWDB Nomad & New Letterhead!
The new Heltec LoRa32 V4 radio kit came in, and as per usual it came with no instructions. This is odd because there is at least one step you have to do in a particular order or you can fry the CPU on the board, and there’s no warning about it anywhere. Luckily, without instructions […]
Toshi Station is now a Nomad Network Node
Toshi Station Mobile Node’s Address: 98a10ac3df5037cede504776a6529f06 Unfortunately, I can’t flash the rNode firmware onto one of the Tracker L1‘s as they aren’t compatible, but I can use one of those shiny new Heltec LoRa32 v4‘s, so I ordered a build kit with a sharp-lookin’ black/green case, an upgraded battery and an antenna with significant gain […]
New Features on TWDB Nomad – Would You Like To See?
Yum yum – there’s nothing I like better than confronting an ambiguous task that has extremely primitive mechanical limitations with a mix of rusty tools I barely remember how to use and shiny new tools I only sort of comprehend. Hours running into weeks at the keyboard laser-focused between my text editor and a browser, […]
A Python script to render RSS Feeds for Nomad Network browsers
Yup, I wanted to bring the RSS feed from my blog into my Nomad Network node site, so I wrote a script that handles at least WordPress and Blogspot blog feeds. [code] #!/usr/bin/env python3 ############################################## # Grab Micron formatted RSS Feed in Python # # RSS feeds embed HTML Entities which the # existing Reticulum/Nomad […]
A Python Script to list all of pyFiglet’s Installed Fonts – for Reticulum and NomadNet
Well, I got tired of manually checking Figlet ASCII-rendered fonts to see if they work in NomadNet browsers, because they are *very* picky about what characters they’ll display, and also needed a way to auto-generate titles for the Model Lists on TWDB Nomad (52ff111b4501e29d592b9601808a1866:/page/twdb.mu). Two birds, one stone: [code] #!/usr/bin/env python3 ############################################## # figlet.mu (make […]
Typewriter Database on the Reticulum Nomad Net
Whoo doggie, I fell deep into the Reticulum/NomadNet rabbit hole this past weekend and set up a node on Jellyfin5, which is not allowed a tunnel through the firewall, and so technically does not serve anything to the wider Internet, including the Jellyfin service – that’s just local to the household LAN. It was really […]
