My experience of the #fediverse :

@ai6yr @_elena Yeah I like core more for its functionality. My hope is that both tastic and core will have interop at some point...

meshtastic seems like it does better ATM because of hte number of nodes. But its still a hit or miss if the messages actually get to the sender.

Meshcore seems better at actually communicating over state lines. But the client still has a lot of work to do. And there is less nodes in particular. But its still free...so I shoudnt complain too much.

nice script! Looks familiar

@_elena For the heltec, if you plan to use Meshtastic near Paris, you will have to make cautious choices over the frequency/mode to use : https://wiki.mesh-idf.fr might be a good read if not already seen

The Fedi is a trap!

I'm degooglifying, demicroslopping, detwittered, avoid Adobe, & only use Messenger because family & friends won't leave.

I've got Linux on my PC, & expect to switch my laptop. Seriously considering setting up my old Pixel Pro 7 (a crap phone I won't recommend) with GrapheneOS, because why not, it'll be fun.

Occasionally I think about self hosting, & I really want to get into Home Assistant.

A TRAP!

@thefathippy a trap indeed!

BTW I’m loving GrapheneOS on my other phone

@_elena awesome! Your path sets an example. I try to follow. Let's continue this and please share every step as you already do: this helps to follow
Now I want to know more about this radio thing. @projetslibres_podcast please tell me you have some content about that ?!

@_elena I feel seen.

Yes, off-grid mesh radio communication is very fascinating...

Oh my goddness... I am looking at the mirror

@vdew thank you Virginie! @projetslibres_podcast

@EnigmaRotor thank you! I was planning to use it mostly in Italy in the countryside, but I will keep this in mind for Paris

@michael @ai6yr thank you for the explanation. I can't wait to dive into this

Archaide :verified:

@_elena from my personal experiance: the #HeltecV3 is not fit for battery use. It simply draws to much current. I am happy with a #HeltecT114. The very same battery that lasts around 16 hrs in the V3 now lasts nearly two weeks.

@Archaide wow, thank you for the recommendation! I'm compiling all this great advice in a document

Year 5 (2027):
Get into HAB (High Altitude ballooning) and build a federared mesh network with nodes at 10+ km altitude

Year 6 (2028):
Get a ham (amateurradio) license

Year 7 (2029):
Get into amateur satellite and space based mesh networks

@_elena One day I'll be in year 2

@rlonstein @david_chisnall @_elena As a person with a moderate commmand of C and a great love for it, it's a thing of beauty. Just like when you are carving your own spoons, you may draw blood, and as a professsional dev environment it gets reduced to smaller and smaller niches, which makes sense for security. But it's a gem, still.

@kristoff hahaha actually my plan for years 4-5 is to learn FreeBSD

The ham radio license would be a dream!

@_elena Autour de Paris, beaucoup de réseaux cohabitent et au fil des années les passionnés se sont cherché une combinaison fréquence / mode qui n’est pas trop “parasitée” il y a eu une période où la pratique était d’utiliser “longModerate” et maintenant il est conseillé d’utiliser “mediumfast”. Dans tous les cas, je ne capte pas grand-chose au nord du val d’Oise, je dois me rapprocher d’une zone plus dense pour voir d’autres nodes. Mais dans Paris ce doit être possible d’établir un large réseau. En campagne, ici ou dans ma terre d’origine, l’adoption n’est pas folle et je n’ai pas beaucoup vu d’autres nodes (ceci dit mon heltec v3 n’a pas d’ampli et je n’ai pas non plus cherché à fixer une antenne en hauteur). La population de la campagne est peut être moins “geek”. J’espère que tu auras pas mal de contacts en Italie. J’aime l’idée de réseaux autonomes utiles en cas de catastrophe majeure. Meshcore est parait-il plus adapté à des zones denses car il corrige le défaut majeur de Meshtastic qui est de toujours répéter d’un node à un autre, ce qui sature vite le réseau. Il y a bcp de choses à explorer. Have fun!
