BLACK FOREST MESH
BLACK FOREST MESH
@blackforestmesh@freiburg.social  ·  activity timestamp last week

The MeshCore network is growing fast. This is why recently Regions have been introduced, a kind of „filter“ for messages.

I’m happy to see that ISO 3166-2 seem to be the way to go, as I suggested in a previous post.

So I will set up the following Regions (skipping hash sign here)

de
de-bw
de-bw-em (Emmendingen)
de-bw-fr (Freiburg, LKBH)
de-bw-loe (Lörrach)
de-bw-muel (Müllheim)
de-bw-og (Offenburg / Ortenau)
de-bw-wt (Waldshut)
suedbaden (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regierungsbezirk_S%C3%BCdbaden)
upper-rhine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_Rhine)
europe

I’ll also add French Regions on repeaters close to the border. After a grace period, I will apply “denyf *”. Anyone who really wants to reach the whole of Europe with their messages should deliberately select the region “ #europe”.

This is similar to our Atlas and "fedigeo".
Depending on the zoom it will show according "regions" near the map, it covers a lot and is so compressed (for clients).
Internally we use geohash but it is user friendly.
Just saw the names and have a question:

- Is it intended that the iso stuff is lowercase ?

To avoid confusion with e.g. ISO language / BCP47 tags, we do e.g.
DE-BW-208o0 ad the last part is a base32 string for the OSM relation id of the narrower context. Although fedigeo has aliasses like maybe "suedbaden" for things which are very informal-

btw; can post a gist if anyone is interested

The grouping by region is VERY cool. And it will be very useful for looking at the big picture. Great job!

If Regions would only be configured in repeaters and if only repeater admins would tag messages (like VLAN tagging), then I would have opted for UTM codes or OSM as well.

But it’s up to the user to decide which Region should be applied to a message. This is why the name should be understandable for „normal“ people as well.

Regions can only be lower case letters, numbers and dash.

And they should be human readable and understandable by everyone.
