** wrote some CFEngine policy to setup raspberry pi as nitb
28
** struggled with NTP issues for a while but finally after some good config and a nano3g reboot things are connected!

** really need this network to support my testing of ofono on postmarketos on hammerhead (LG Nexus 5) and my fork of termux-api which supports sms/mms
31
** plan on trying to find some open source MMS gateway to integrate with osmocom nitb (as mentioned previous update)
32
** will try and publish the CFEngine policy and write a blog post about the experience
