Debugging some issues with my setup and managed to catch this nice spectrogram. This is captured from an RTL-SDR with the muzi works whip antenna, the cheap JMT bandpass filter for 915 MHz, and the gain cranked all the way up. The client sending the ping is a SenseCAP T-1000E, while the repeater is the SenseCAP Solar Node.
My thesis on P4P is finally online!

P4P: Steps Toward more Adaptive Internets: charting Open-Source, P2P and Local-First Networks
@zelf >This study explores the development and implementation of Peer-for-Peer (P4P) networks, a family of open-source, peer-to-peer, and local-first communication protocols. Rooted in the principles of complexity theory and an ontological basis in complex realism, the research examines how small, modular, and community-driven infrastructures can serve as adaptive solutions in response to ecological, social, and technological crises. Through a mixed-methods approach, including interviews with nine case studies and an in-person workshop, the study identifies design principles that enable resilience and sustainability in P4P ecosystems. Findings highlight the critical role of modularity—both technical and social—in fostering self-organization, adaptability, and mutual aid within decentralized networks. The study also introduces the concept of "nested isomorphism," revealing how the structural patterns of technical systems influence the organizational structures that develop them. P4P protocols, such as Willow, Mapeo, and Scuttlebutt, demonstrate the viability of localized and distributed communication infrastructures that prioritize user agency and digital sovereignty. These systems challenge the colonial structures of global internet infrastructure by empowering communities to build and maintain their own resilient networks. This research contributes to complexity theory by expanding the understanding of self-organizing systems and isomorphic tendencies of technical and organizational structures. The research presents a framework for designing future communication infrastructures that align with principles of sustainability and inclusivity. The implications of these findings extend to the fields of open-source development, decentralized networks, and adaptive infrastructure design, offering pathways toward a more equitable and resilient digital future.
Well shit! That sounds really interesting!

The TikTok ban and other recent news points to the urgent need, for way more development of a decentralized peer to peer mesh net, via locally distributed wifi nodes all joined together across large regions, in order to create an alternative internet. This would bypass the ability of governments and corporations to ever ban any particular sector of information or service. #meshnet #tiktok #p2p #digitalsovereignty #bans #freedom #internet #web3 #webmesh #computing #socialmedia #politics
