frozenbbs

    I’m about to head to Def Con where I’ll be hosting a mobile Frozen BBS. I’m carrying it into work in SF this morning as a trial run, and also to make sure people don’t call the cops on it.

    A backpack with MOLLE straps has a RAK 4631 mesh radio and a little Raspberry Pi case attached to it. There are power and connection USB cables dangling. A SenseCAP T1000-E is clipped on for the ride.

    I just cut The Def Con Release of Frozen BBS, and updated the little radio and Rasperry Pi boxes that are going to be strapped onto my backpack next week.

    I just released Frozen BBS v1.3.0. It has a boatload of backend improvements, not all backward compatible. I think this will be the last change this large. It now has all the base infrastructure I’d imagined from the start. Future releases should be more incremental.

    First light of my new Frozen BBS Meshtastic message board.

    It’s not beautiful, but it works.
