I started messing about with Linux/Raspberry Pi, Arduino, LoRa/Meshtastic in the past couple of months due to being (further) breadpilled with podcasts about open source, greenhouse automation, autonomous text-based communication and such.
I'm not a tech person so I'm literally doing kid-level electronics tutorials on the Arduino ("Congratulations! You've made your first circuit!") and still get a kick out of running sudo apt-get update/upgrade and seeing the lines of text scrolling by.
But I really like the concept of appropriate tech in conjunction with open source "stuff" and, since I'm in a position of being able to listen to ~6.5 hours of podcasts during my workday, I might as well learn something. I hope to get comfortable with electronics for DIY solar eventually, too
Glad to hear about this! Everone has to start somewhere :) I am upost interested in these podcasts you mention, am an avid podcast enjoyer myself, so if you wouldnt mind sharing which ones you listen to?
Just heading out to check the asparagus patch, I'll make a list with links later today!
I'm also interested to see if you have any that I don't know about
Hello there, fellow knight. I shared a list in a comment above, cheers
