I exchanged a few messages with @trilobyte over #MeshCore and this is the path MC discovered and set up to deliver my messages. 15 hops, hundreds of km and the delivery was reliable. It doesn't stop to amaze me what low-cost hardware connected in a community mesh can do.

OnePlus 6T unbricked thanks to advice from @cas! 🎉 I've installed #PostmarketOS #Duranium on it because I think an image-based OS is a better fit for phone. Now I just need to figure out how to make Waydroid work because that doesn't seem to be […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

In the spring, my wife was looking for fertilizer for our green roof. She consulted Gemini (or whatever is being the Google AI search), and half of the green roof died as a result. We'll have to get it back in shape in the fall. This time, we'll consult a true expert. #greenroof #AI

Tak to mě mrzí. Pan Juříček, kterému jsme neříkali jinak než vysokoškolník, byl inventářem FITu. OpenAlty bez něj už nebudou stejné. 😓

Screenshot z postu na FB, který říká: Přišli jsme o dobrou duši fakulty
Bohužel dnešek nám na FIT přinesl špatnou zprávu. Opustil nás dlouholetý zaměstnanec a oblíbený kolega Zdeněk Juříček st.
Znali jsme ho nejen jako člověka, který se staral o to, aby technika a vše potřebné pro přednášky, konference a další akce na fakultě pracovaly bezchybně.
Měl i celou řadu dalších rolí od ceremoniáře při akademických příležitostech po „správce kachniček“ našich absolventů.
A především byl vstřícným, milým člověkem.
Čest jeho památce!
