awfully quiet here, all of a sudden

No.

It's not as though many here were googlegroups users.

well I didn't have many questions lately. I tried installing Enigma 1/2 on my rpi, then realized that I could use nextcloud instead. Although it doesn't have the ability to read nntp, so that is kind of non-optimal. It does have a working voice-chat and screenshare though, so that's nice. even on my 3b.

Now I am thinking of getting dovecot to run and to finally get INN properly configured so I can peer with people. And then I might have more ideas of what to do. Right now I am thinking of maybe getting an Orange Pi additionally to check that one out, but I don't yet have a project I want to run on it, so I dunno.

Been too busy building my pi Pico oil level sensor, and oddly, didn't need to ask any questions.

It is worthy of note that it carried on working with failing batteries down to about 3.6V (Vsys) and at which point it was reporting a -93dBm wifi signal...

Nope. It is just that my current Pis are all running the way they are supposed to without any problems and I haven't got a Pi5 yet because I do not have any use for it.

Not bad. I remember watching on television when NASA's Surveyor probe made the first soft landing on the moon; they mentioned a signal strength of -125dBm.
