Crazy to see our local house race featured on TYT

Eric Jones on TYT was a surprise in a good way. I love to see someone putting themselves out there to try and make this place better. Tired of the lack of anything new in Napa!

Volunteering Opps/Orgs in Napa

Hi!
I’ve been trying to find volunteering opportunities in Napa and struggling. I have reached out to CANV many times and gotten no response. I have many years of kitchen experience so idk if there’s a soup kitchen or a meals project like foodnotbombs?
I could teach crafts or smthn at a senior center?
I don’t need hours or anything I just like being involved in community service and haven’t found a good way to do it in the valley.

Hello. Does anyone have any good Acupuncturist recommendations ? I am willing to drive out of Napa if I have to but I would prefer to stay local. Thanks in advance for your help.

Home Theater AVR repair

Anyone have any luck with a local or semi-local shop repairing larger stereos or AVRs?

I have a Denon AVR-X6500H AVR with a protect issue.

I checked the service menu, and the protection history shows a ":DC" error.

Does anybody happen to know what this old building used to be? Located on Silverado Trl near Lodi Ln.

Lived here for 6 yrs and haven’t been able to figure out what this old building was. My husband is very curious about it and always wonders what it could’ve been. Hoping to solve the mystery!

Open source, emergency off-grid communications for use by Napa residents: Introducing MeshCore

Hi all! We're developing an open source network to send text messages without cell phone service or internet called MeshCore - think text messaging that is encrypted, open-source, free to use, and owned and operated by the people who use it. It works with a network of low-power radios that receive messages from personal devices and transmit them to other radios all the way until the intended recipient receives the message.

Most of the repeater radios are solar-powered, and some are even smaller than a deck of playing cards. The Bay Area MeshCore mesh functions well during power outages and emergencies, and many folks are using and building the mesh to function as backup communications for times when the internet and cell towards aren't working (think fires, PGE outages, or earthquakes).

We're regularly messaging between Sonoma, Marin, Merced, San Francisco, the East Bay, Monterey, SLO, and some of the Sierra, and are trying to build up coverage throughout Napa County!

If you have heard of mesh communications of any variety, or are interested in experimenting or learning more, get yourself a decent companion radio and a repeater radio and consider joining our Discord to help get started. Comment here or DM me with questions, or find our discord and info at bayareameshcore.org.

Bay Area MeshCore does not sell anything whatsoever, and is a noncommercial group of radio nerds living in NorCal. The hardware companies linked to at our website are wholly unaffiliated with Bay Area MeshCore, have no agreement with us (and have probably never heard of us), and usually ship with the other mesh's firmware. That said, when buying a node, please try to support small businesses.

Final note! MeshCore is a different network than Meshtastic. Many people, myself included, consider MeshCore to be a very reliable choice for stable, permanent networks. I regularly direct message folks in Monterey and Watsonville from SF, and the messages usually go through on the first attempt!

Happy meshing!!
