Why do you need a Geiger counter? It looks like a cool device, but why is it EDC?

[-] majoru@feddit.org 46 points 9 months ago

I'm a huge radiation nerd and just need to measure every orange tile and green glass that I stumble across.

[-] mosspiglet@discuss.online 5 points 9 months ago

That sounds fun. Now I want one, too.

[-] majoru@feddit.org 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Beware! That has been one of the deepest rabbit holes since a few years for me ;)

How do you use your Flipper Zero?

[-] majoru@feddit.org 41 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)
  • As a remote for some devices and garage doors
  • I'm a bit of a data hoarder, so I record various radio comms, NFC tags, infrared... I find in the wild
  • For field microcontroller programming
  • Sometimes as a clicker during presentations
  • I built a SCD30 extension board, so I sometimes use it to monitor the CO2 concentration in rooms

And a bag of cocaine! Or maybe that's the gloves, lol.

[-] HamsterRage@lemmy.ca 3 points 9 months ago

I thought that was part of "some meds".

[-] Curious_Canid@piefed.ca 13 points 9 months ago

That is a nicely thought-out EDC. A lot of it would be useful day-to-day, but it also covers several emergency situations.

[-] majoru@feddit.org 5 points 9 months ago

Thanks! I'm rather new to the game and still optimizing. But some of the things already have been very useful.

[-] NihilsineNefas@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago

I'd add one of those mylar thermal blankets as well, it can mean the difference between life and death in some situations where a person is suffering from shock and can't regulate their own temperature.

[-] majoru@feddit.org 3 points 9 months ago

Never thought of that. Added to the backlog for sure!

[-] KurtVonnegut@mander.xyz 12 points 9 months ago

USB condom ๐Ÿ™ƒ

[-] majoru@feddit.org 18 points 9 months ago

Data blocker for charging in public transport :D

[-] e8CArkcAuLE@piefed.social 2 points 9 months ago

did you buy it or made it yourself?

[-] majoru@feddit.org 2 points 9 months ago

It was a promotional gift from some meetup.

[-] Absinthe3858@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

Thank you for the post. Didn't know a Radiaccode as a thing.

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 6 points 9 months ago

What pen is that? Also who are you fucking with using that flipper zero?

[-] majoru@feddit.org 2 points 9 months ago

Just a regular ball pen I got for free :) I explained my use cases for the flipper in another comment.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

May want to add a USB Rubber Ducky: https://shop.hak5.org/products/usb-rubber-ducky

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Hello fellow Radiacode user! What's your most interesting find to date?

[-] majoru@feddit.org 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Probably when I measured >3kCPS in a train. Turned out it was a very spicy TC-99m patient.

Yours?

[-] recklessengagement@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

~8k CPS at the market, I'm fairly confident it was a radiation therapy patient as well. Did not expect it to be so high! Also got some interesting readings from an old "home science kit" from the 60s.

[-] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 9 months ago

Nice setup! What multitool is that?

[-] majoru@feddit.org 3 points 9 months ago

A Knipex TwinKey.

[-] ClassifiedPancake@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 9 months ago

Thanks, interesting

[-] daannii@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Nail clippers and a file. And bandaids. And really really old rock hard gum pack.

Oh and 3-6 half uses chapstick tubes.

[-] shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol 3 points 9 months ago

You're missing the 4oz thermos filled with scotch and the LEGO spudger.

[-] Nomad@infosec.pub 2 points 9 months ago

Your edc looks about 90% like mine. Fun. Minus flipper and deodorant. Add some lockpicks, a laptop and one of those ultra small extra wicking towels for surprise showers at work.

[-] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 9 months ago

I got that same flashlight, it is my favorite!

[-] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

Same. Huge bang for the buck.
