My experience of the #fediverse :
Year 1 (2023):
It feels a little lonely as 99% of my friends stayed on Big Tech platforms.Year 2 (2024):
I start a blog - #TheFutureIsFederated - to explain the fediverse to "normies"... and I make a lot of new (techie) friends.Year 3 (2025):
My techie friends encourage me to start self-hosting with #YunoHost... and I do! (GoToSocial, PeerTube, NextCloud...) I LOVE it.Year 4 (2026):
I plan to buy a Heltec to try out off-grid mesh radio communication 💁♀️@_elena from my personal experience: 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.

@david_chisnall @_elena
"People who use Mastodon are increasingly radicalised until they end up as C programmers."
Some people just want to watch the world burn.@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.

@_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!

@_elena je pense qu’investir dans deux heltec peut être une bonne idée (ça n’est, au global, pas très coûteux: la carte ne coute pas grand chose) avec l’un en meshcore et l’autre en Meshtastic. Je pense faire ça dans le futur. Il y a ensuite le sujet du boîtier : si tu as la chance d’avoir une imprimante 3D: j’ai vu pas mal de boîtiers à imprimer. Moi j’avais acheté le mien ici : https://www.zerofox3d.com/products/nibbler2-portable-meshcore-meshtastic-node-case-with-sma-connector-or-internal-antenna pratique avec un clip ceinture. Revers de la médaille: envoyé depuis UK donc des taxes d’importation plus coûteuses que le produit lui même…

@_elena So recognisable!
(and yes, I've recently purchased a lilygo-tdeck for lora/meshcore communication)

@_elena Sorry to but in, but one thing I've never been able to find my people on is sound design. If anyone knows where the sound designers are hanging out and how to find them, I'd be interested to know. the hash tags around sound design that I've tried haven't yielded much.
@JustinMac84 You could try to follow #musicproduction or reach out using that tag.

@_elena @plaimbock @JustinMac84 @prinlu
A lot of musicians on the fedi, some of whom might lead you to finding what you’re after. Here’s a handy cheat sheet.

@origamiunicorn @leonieke @_elena The app was very much closed source the last time I checked. And the problems you mention with meshtastic are not really problems. I can get from Northern Denmark to south of france with 7 hops. Telemetry is always a tradeoff - meshcore has its problems there as well https://github.com/meshcore-dev/MeshCore/issues/1031

@_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 ?! -

@relasolmi @_elena this becomes a difficult game when the l3 folks disappear.
we need a ridiculous amount of bandwidth to do what we do today, and we can't saturate 2.4GHz and 5GHz forever. the ISM band is convenient for quaint 56k modem cred, but cannot support the coming traffic. manage the expectations before we manage traffic

@JustinMac84 not the Fediverse, but this might interest you as well: https://llllllll.co/
It's an oldskool sound design / musicians forum aimed at the more experimental / avant-garde type of sounds.

@projetslibres_podcast je n'oublie pas ! Je dois réfléchir au fil et intervenantes pertinentes ;)
