@henry Having (almost fully) switched to #NodeJS in 2012, I quickly recognized the danger of relying to _anything_ (#npm included, this one gave me a lot of pain for several times over the years).
Ended up with a monstrous monorepo. Forked (and improved) just 2 other people's repos, one abandoned and one that took months to finally get it right regarding garbage collection, but I had no time to wait.
Thereby I never got to a situation to hate a programming language because of the hype around it, but it surely got me coding a ton of #javascript.
The experience helped me a lot in JS5=>ECMAScript and ECMAScript=>TypeScript switching in the last year or so.

Ich sehe dies sehr ähnlich und bin aber immer noch der Meinung, dass JavaScript (TypeScript) eigentlich nur im Browser angewendet werden sollte da ansonsten "zu langsam" ist.

Out of pure curiosity, and because I'm on that #webdev #framework discovery tip. Heck, this project even made me download an IDE for Android lol

Just to read `install.bin` - which is an sh script.

Excuse me, but why are you bundling #nodejs and #npm? Is it to facilitate a setup process for containers, or is it merely to make the process easy?

I'm a bit sceptical to that sort of thing, especially when fetching from a vendors domain directly.

Any plans to build packages via CI?

Wrote a little parser for meshcore packets tonight. It's still messy and a lot more to implement. But, it reads the container format so I'm happy for now.

I have meshcore packets flowing from multiple repeaters(on different frequencies) talking on wifi using udp broadcasts.

The repeaters automatically discover each other on the network and now I'm able to watch their chatter with a quick nodejs server.
