So recently the @nodejs project posted an article seeking LGBTQIA+ stories from people who use or have contributed to Node.js, I shared the link last week.

Anyway, I decided to submit a story of how Node.js and tech in general was a lifeline for me as a teenager, in a world where I didn't quite fit in, and how I came to realise I was trans.

Many thanks to them for providing this opportunity!

Well, that was a fun error: went to install a node.js project, which depended on sqlite, and it failed because Python 3.13 no longer has distutils in it, and you instead need to do:

pip install --upgrade setuptools

To get the distutils package.

This happened because the Node.js module for sqlite uses node-gyp for building, which depends on distutils.

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.
