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?

"Element expects that a Dutch government investment in Matrix peer-to-peer technology could now support this quest. The goal is to develop a version of Element that can operate on a mesh network without requiring an internet server."

Ooh, that's exciting! @matrix folks have been working on p2p matrix for a while, but progress has depended on volunteer devs;

Today marks the 15th anniversary of the beginning of the Egyptian revolution, in 2011.

Those were the years when Facebook was trying to fool people posing as the good platform empowering oppressed populations.

Look at where we are, now. Platforms showing their real despicable nature.

I truly hope another revolution comes soon, everywhere. This time, we will all be using mesh networks, decentralized protocols, encrypted communication.

Transparency for the powerful, encryption for the masses. (paraphrasing Julian Assange)

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).

My evaluation of resilient and disturbed means of communication started today #meshnetworks. I received my #LoRa radio board and installed #meshcore. No contact to other nodes yet, but I’m also not sure what to expect. Let’s see how it goes…
The next step will be #reticulum, but it looks too advanced to be a good starting point for me.
