Ethical #hackers love #Meshtastic, but demonstrated how easy it is to knock nodes offline by spamming the #beemovie script at the #LayerOne conference.
This attack is stupid simple, but without a real defense against it, users should never rely on Meshtasic for anything life-critical.
Want to build your own custom Meshtastic nodes?
Check out this quick start guide for the Nibble, the flexible cat-shaped DIY community design made for chaos communication congress!
This design allows you to use an esp32s3 or rp2040 to build a node for any application.

Any suggestions on good 3d printing projects for middle school aged kids?
Hackers are in love with new low-cost, long range "LoRa" radios. In this episode, Davis shows how LoRa can control anything remotely, even in the noisiest of radio environments (DTLA).
Check out the real-world test, and the #CircuitPython example code to try it yourself!

Feels nice to be free
Dystopian dog walking
I can't believe this is real.
I see apartment ads requiring enrolling your dog in a DNA based, sex-offender style program called "pooprints" that uses genetic testing to fine residents who don't clean up after their dogs.

This week I've been learning HueForge, which pushes the boundaries of what's possible with art and 3d printing. If you've ever blended layers in Photoshop, it feels super familiar to learn!
These new faux-neon wiggly LED strings are really easy to use for art projects and work happily off 3.3 volts!
After nearly 4 years, I'm back with a new Null Byte episode!

Browsing the PebbleOS code and it looks really solid, well-structured, and readable. Funny that in 2015-2018 I was also a part of a team building an embedded smartwatch OS based on FreeRTOS, as expected, lots of similarities π

Oh wow. Google open sourced PebbleOS and @ericmigi.com is now looking to bring back Pebble.
Pebble was my first (and 2nd) smartwatch.

I love chaos congress for a safe space to be weird, beautiful, ambitious, and creative. But most of all, friendly.
The little society which forms is so rich and kind, it leaves a sad hole when the simulation of a dense hacker society ends
Want to get started with LoRa? A year after designing a LoRa Nugget upgrade, it's for sale online!
Launched at Defcon, the LoRa backpack supports Meshtastic on the USB & Bluetooth Nugget.
In testing, we chatted between nuggets over 160 miles apart!
