Today I went on a ~23km #hike up and down the North East #coast between #Tynemouth and #Blyth, and then back to #WhitleyBay. I can't be more accurate about how far I went because I tried an experiment: leaving my #phone at home.

I liked it, and think I'll do more #disconnected trips, but I did get a bit bored around 15km in - so I'll need to find a #music / #podcast player to take on the next long walk.

Any #hardware suggestions would be most welcome! #musicplayer #audio #lowtech #offline

#Offline teknologi....

If you are a Unix nerd and wish you spend less time using your mouse while watching flashy colors, I recommend that you give Offpunk a try:

I’m trying to make it easier to get started with offpunk. Feedbacks and discussions are welcome on the mailing-list :

https://lists.sr.ht/~lioploum/offpunk-users

or on the fediverse, using the #offpunk hashtag. Or on your blog. That would be awesome to read blog posts about people using offpunk

Organic Maps is a great Google Maps alternative that's free, open-source, and offline. I used it yesterday to find my way in an unknown neighbourhood, and it worked like a charm.

“When we look at the history of mass atrocities against particular groups, we always see a period where the #information landscape is shaped away from recognizing the #humanity of the targeted group. By letting #hate speech flourish #online, you enable the pre-conditions for group #violence #offline,” [Rebecca Hamilton, professor law at #American University] added.

When you finally find some time to play a game....

Bring back offline!

#Meshtastic is absolutely thriving in the lower North Island, here in Aotearoa New Zealand. Tracking its bloom worldwide, I believe this to be the most successful example of (in the sense of broadly adopted) Internet-independent and community-owned communications infrastructure we have to date.

Here's a map with just a proportion of the nodes, countless others are set to hidden:
