People who use X are increasingly radicalised until they end up as Nazis.
People who use Mastodon are increasingly radicalised until they end up as C programmers.
You meant "end up as transgender furry anarchists who mostly program in Rust". Common typo.

@cavyherd @_elena Quick web search on the max bandwidth for LoRa has you hitting 50kbps at the very top. So this is around dialup speed. You probably won't actually achieve those speeds most the time.
Meshtastic might not even come close. It's got a different focus than pushing as much through as possible to hit that max limit.

Oh, thank you. So not intended as a replacement for wire & fiber optic internet. Thank you for the clarification.

@_elena You know...I have a project that uses #yunohost and #meshtastic together. Maybe I should do a blog post or something.
Its a once a day weather report for my region. It posts at around 6:00 am the weather pulled from NWS. Its useful both as a weather report but also a test to see if people get the messages. If they do, they know their node is in a good spot.
Looks like this:

I totally understand. Its so cool though that you are into self-hosting and learning your way around.

I plan to buy a Heltec to try out off-grid mesh radio communication 💁♀️Does mesh radio communication allow certain apps to communicate? E.g. can Mastodon or Matrix run over mesh radio?

@ai6yr @_elena Yeah I like core more for its functionality. My hope is that both tastic and core will have interop at some point...
meshtastic seems like it does better ATM because of hte number of nodes. But its still a hit or miss if the messages actually get to the sender.
Meshcore seems better at actually communicating over state lines. But the client still has a lot of work to do. And there is less nodes in particular. But its still free...so I shoudnt complain too much.
nice script! Looks familiar :D

@david_chisnall @_elena
People who use X would rapidly calm down once Wayland guys stop attempting to kill X11🤣 .
...Ah, you meant former T*tter! M*sk made it toooooo confusing! -

I plan to buy a Heltec to try out off-grid mesh radio communication 💁♀️The Fedi is a trap!
I'm degooglifying, demicroslopping, detwittered, avoid Adobe, & only use Messenger because family & friends won't leave.
I've got Linux on my PC, & expect to switch my laptop. Seriously considering setting up my old Pixel Pro 7 (a crap phone I won't recommend) with GrapheneOS, because why not, it'll be fun.
Occasionally I think about self hosting, & I really want to get into Home Assistant.
A TRAP! 😂
