I can't recommend meshtastic enough. I have 2 radios and I get to chat with other like minded folks over off the grid encrypted p2p 100s of miles away.

How did you do the shading? I've never done leatherwork.

This would appear to be my wife's strategy as well.

I've attempted to quicksave a couple of times before parallel parking my truck.

Noir dark roast from Nirvana Soul. It's my daily driver during fall-spring.

Hey there. I experience the same thing. The voices, the music, in the white noises around me.

I'm not schizophrenic (or at least I hope not). It is a weird phenomenon that some of us experience that seems to be our brains trying to match important patterns, like speech, out of noise.

Heck, Devin Townsend even wrote a song about it "Voices in the Fan."

If it's really bothering you or scaring you then, yeah, you could seek help, but if you're not experiencing auditory hallucinations outside of this context then my completely unqualified opinion is you're probably fine.

I'm not much of an expert but it's basically low power UHF radios that use a particular waveform and FFT process to decode signals that are well below background noise. My radio regularly picks up messages with an SNR -10. I like it to the GPS system's algorithms.

The main drawback is that, because they're low power, you have to have LOS between antennas.

I'm in thr US and had to order mine from Aliexpress. Those were some long weeks of waiting.

They operate in bands intended for stuff like LoRa and IoT. So there's no danger of messing with other systems.
