  • OSMand seems kinda clunky but it lets you do more stuff to really customize it if you want but I still find myself getting lost in the menus sometimes. But I like it for hiking/outdoorsy stuff

    Organic Maps/Comaps is slick and smooth and really easy to use for most everyday stuff we’d use Google Maps for

    Other people have mentioned it but one of the best things you can do is a little mapping of your local area on OpenStreetMap. Try to include the places you go to the most, or at least making notes so other know what needs added. That makes any app or service that uses it better for yourself and others around you

    Airline passengers with nodes are amazing repeaters for the few minutes they are overhead. Thanks to them I’ve seen signals hop to my nodes from nearly 200 miles away

    It’s crazy how fast meshtastic/lora technologies have taken off in just a few years







  • Fingerprints are the least invasive of biometrics imo. If your fingerprints are weak the govt may put you under more scrutiny “just in case” and I think that would be a much greater violation of your privacy

    Prints prove you were in a place just like an airport camera and airline records would. As long as your phone/computer etc isn’t unlocked via fingerprint that’s really all it can be used for on most cases. Don’t get me wrong it isn’t ideal and I see your point of wanting to avoid giving that away regardless
