This was such a fun talk to give! Finally, I get to let everyone peek behind the curtain of a ~4yr journey. From zero to 6 million min/day on 1400+ towers in ultra rural environments using open source tech; 12 million/day on 4000+ towers in total. Solar, satellite, and @Starlink
"Operating Open Source Mobile Networks at Scale" video recording of #osmocom #OsmoDevCon2024 talk by @iedemam has been released media.ccc.de/v/osmodevcon202… #3gpp #osmocom - thanks to @c3voc - watch it to see how Osmocom is used in production at scale

Dante Lauretta, the PI of the OSIRIS-REx mission, has one of the most understated and badass out-of-office messages I have ever seen.

“Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do not do that thing.” – Dwight Schrute
And what is the best way to spot an idiot? Look for the person who is cruel.
“Where did you get that Marvel shirt?”
“At the friking store.”
“Which one?”
“THE FRIKING STORE, MAN!”
(in Spain “friki” is roughly “nerdy”)
My entry on Osakidetza was pushed to Substack this week: midwestern.eu/p/osakidetza
I tried to generate some ironic “people as money” or “doctors treating cash” art for the header but it didn’t really work. I ended up using the Osakidetza logo.

My book has been published! amazon.com/dp/B0C47TPL7G
It's been MUCH more work than expected to convert my columns into a nice book but I got it over the line and was able to approve distribution this month. I'm really proud of how it turned out.

Looks like it’s live across all Amazon countries now. Still a lot to do to actually “launch” it but getting this far seemed impossible a few months ago. Really frustrating…learned a lot.
And thanks for the orders already super sleuths! 😃 ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
