Want to develop your own chat app that works via Bluetooth, Tor, and pigeons? Or do you want to extend Briar to work via LoRa, Wi-Fi Aware, I2P, WhatsApp, whatever? Or Android is constantly suspending your app in the background?

I've written down some pointers to Briar's source code and research with pieces to start with. Inspired by an amazing #39c3, because sharing is caring.

@blakespot Given the epic speed of 1200baud (baud! not bps) I wonder if we'll see the return of the BBS's over those 866/433 MHz LORA network variations.

Stupid but real question: how would I go about affixing a #LoRa node to a tree in our garden? #meshtasic #hamradio

Lora, la rete libera
Oggi fantamiliardi di bit passano in ogni istante sotto l'occhio vigile di provider, reti, infrastrutture centralizzate. Qualsiasi messaggio, telefonata, transazione, dipende da un sistema gestito da pochissimi attori: operatori di rete, i giganti del Cloud.Ma quando l'intero meccanismo si ferma, cosa rimane? Abbiamo già visto varie volte casi di blackout in cui in pochi minuti salta tutto: i nodi GSM, i router, i traspo

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”.

I decided to get into #lora more specifically the #meshtastic space. Might be a great communication device for the family and friends in emergency/ power out situations. Whom should I follow?

After playing with this for a few days, I'm running into a weird usability issue, that's actually very much a "nice problem to have".

My radio can only store 350 contacts (other nodes on the network). Once that's full, new nodes are no longer shown.

That means I can't add them as favorites, or even message them.

The upside of course is that I can reach over 350 nodes, covering half the country.

And a fix is on the way: https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/pull/1379

I am buying my first LoRa device.

Following the insightful buying guide by LocalMesh Netherlands, I am thinking I will go for LYLYGO T-Echo Plus. I would like to buy it from the official website, where it costs ~54€.

What do you think?

Does anyone here use Lora and Meshtastic? I’m seriously looking into getting an external rooftop unit. #meshtastic #lora

Do I know anyone who's into #LoRa #meshNetworks? #meshCore #meshtastic etc? Just found out about these today and am already hooked and planning to build/expand the local networks (north of Toronto etc).
