Spain just got hit with a full-scale telecom blackout - Movistar, Orange, Vodafone, O2, and Digimobil all went down. No signal. No internet. Even 112 emergency lines went dark in major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia.

I think a lot of Westerners agree. But it's hard to get the government to go against allies. I think western governments might have a hard time turn on someone who is supposed to be an ally. But I think a lot of the people don't think what Israel is doing is right.

Early on, I invested in real estate on the side and developed rental properties with the pennies that I earned in IT, and I always dollar cost averaged every paycheque into the stock market.

I must have a horseshoe up my ass, because the real estate is now worth more than my entire life earnings in IT. It's nothing life threatening but my health isn't so good anymore. My Dad retired at 64, he didn't know it at the time, but he already had cancer. Passed at 66. Most of the males in my bloodline are not terribly long lived.

Anyway, I'm thinking that somehow I managed to accumulate enough assets to pull off Freedom 55. I want to build some memories other than staring at the screen. Maybe if i get to spend some time just floating on the water, listening to the water lapping at the hull, smelling the fresh clean air and eating some fresh caught fish it might buy me some better health.

https://www.seeedstudio.com/SenseCAP-Card-Tracker-T1000-E-for-Meshtastic-p-5913.html

I think it's a good entry level device in a pretty small package, with a low price. My wife and I used it the other day in our local Walmart supercenter, we don't usually get cell service in there and I refuse to connect to their Wi-Fi but we were able to reach each other all over the store. I like the credit card size compared to some of the T LoRa devices I've used. Only major downside is the charge cable isn't a USB C, which I guess makes sense since it's so slim.

Heltec v3 has been a good beginner/intro for me. However I’ve learned their energy consumption is pretty bad compared to others. I’ve been looking at RAK now but not sure what to buy.

Something like this can happen anywhere. The electrical and telecom grids in the US are just as fragile. It's just luck that we haven't had many widespread outages for issues besides weather or other natural disasters.

My family had 2 generations of linemen and I know a lot of people who work for the power and telecom companies. I haven't heard a single one talk about how robust the systems are, they just talk about how fragile everything is, where one bad component could wipe out power for hundreds of thousands of people and take many hours to repair.
