Reticulum supports multiple interfaces to transport data, TCP is just one of them. Other are ethernet, packet radio TNCs (think ham radio), LoRa, stdio/pipes, I2p, etc. More details on some of the supported interfaces http://reticulum.network/manual/interfaces.html

You can get a rough estimate based on unique IPs hitting the RSS feed. Moreover, some of the online feed readers report the number of subscribers of your feed as part of their User-Agent. An example from my blog logs: `"Feedbin feed-id:2688376 - 9 subscribers"`

I try to blog about things that I feel I have a good understanding and get into details. Examples:

- https://blog.erethon.com/blog/2023/06/21/what-happens-when-a... I recently had my Matrix server die on me and this documents my journey on bringing it back from the dead.

- https://blog.erethon.com/blog/2022/07/13/what-a-malicious-ma... An exploration on the powers of a malicious admin in Matrix

- https://blog.erethon.com/blog/2019/11/06/infrastructure-as-c... Old blog post that needs updating on how I manage my physical servers and spawn VMs using Terraform and Ansible to have an IaC setup without the "cloud".

Re:What Is Mini FM on Sunday February 19, 2023 @08:58AM (#34857598)
For receiving FM radio a lot of them do, definitely most of the feature phones that have a 3.5mm audio jack (the audio cable doubles as the antenna).

Some phones released around the 2010s also had FM transmitters, for example the [Nokia N8](https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n8-3252.php). The use case for these was to be able to listen to the music you had in your phone via your car stereo, since AUX ports and BT sharing wasn't common back then.

As others have said, you can pick any video, start watching and you'll just be "up-to-date". Having said that, one of the first videos I watched from start to finish and found easy to follow was the one about implementing the `pledge` syscall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-a5hLBuW6tY. There's also an accompanying blog post https://awesomekling.github.io/pledge-and-unveil-in-Serenity...
