A little late to the party but there’s also the West End Phoenix and The Local

If magazines count, Spacing is a great one focused on urbanism.

I haven’t tried it yet but the concept just seems a lot more intuitive in a way that systems like NixOS and Guix SD arent. I haven’t tried those either though so maybe I’m just ignorant 🤷

You’re really making it sound tempting, I may have to just get one and send it

I’ve been fixie-curious for a while now but haven’t jumped on board yet because I only really have space for one bike. I’ve never ridden a fixie but it seems like a lot of fun. I like my gears and I use my bike for everything from commuting to long distance to short bikepacking overnights so the gears are very nice. But I don’t know, there’s something about fixies that just calls to me.

This is very cool, I might want to get one of those. I have a saddle cover for my Brooks saddle to keep it safe from the elements and to hide that it’s a nice saddle. It goes all the way around and covers the bottom, so something like that would hide the tracker. I’m not sure I can believe most bike thieves are looking very hard for trackers, but I suppose if they are becoming more popular then they will.

Only other place I can imagine is the seat tube but that looks too big for most seat tubes and I would thick it would mess up the signal. Maybe you could find a way to discretely tape it under your handle bars with bar tape?

You are misreading the very poorly captioned table. The percentages are showing a comparison of the rent of co-ops and market rent against the average in the same category of the five cities in the study. So co-ops are being compared against the co-op average. It’s just to show that rent prices of co-ops and market rentals are similarly affected by the markets in the respective cities.

Oh I see so it has a GPS module and sends the GPS data to you. I was imagining a triangulation of the signal location using other nodes but this makes a lot more sense. That’s really cool. Depending on how small these things are, could you fasten it under your bike seat? Might be easier if you have a full seat cover.

Location tracking is an interesting use case, I assume it would have to be in range of other nodes to work? Do you know the precision of this?

Is there a big meshtastic community in toronto? Seems like a cool technology, but it’s hard to see a use case for me personally (either than that it’s neat)
