Goddamn are there some hostile #mestastic folks out at the flea market...woooo you do not just send out a "hi" in that crowd. Heading up to Columbia next week. Should see some carnode action for #meshcore too. If you're in the lowcountry and watching me fumble around looking for y'all... That's ass. Hit me up. Let's talk mesh shit. #reticulum...mobile exploration is more difficult. If the ratio of meshcore to meshtastic seems to be about 1:20 users-ish so far, reticulum may be lower.

What are you using and what do you really want? Meshcore, Mestastic or Reticulum? #meshcore #meshtastic #reticulum #lora

📚 there are docs and guides around (for the HW anything meshtastic-related should do as it's the same boards!)

  • should look deeper in bookmarks/notes, but already:

#Reticulum Community Wiki: https://reticulum.miraheze.org/wiki/Welcome

RNS recipe forum: https://rns.recipes/forum/ (also be accessible via the nomad network, but failed when i tried... ;) )

the full RNS doc for those who need exhaustivity: https://reticulum.network/manual/

  • there is also definitely a need for more doc/guides/etc..

#RTFM💗 (as in "consider reading the friendly manual"...)

A compelling article on the advantages of #Reticulum over #Meshtastic and #MeshCore: https://www.jonaharagon.com/posts/im-getting-into-mesh-networks-meshtastic-meshcore-and-reticulum/ Meshtastic and MeshCore make it relatively easy to set up local LoRa mesh networks, but in practice they remain largely tied to LoRa devices and messaging. Reticulum goes further: it can build a more resilient network by routing across different kinds of connections, including LoRa, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, microwave links and even the internet. Local networks can therefore interconnect while retaining alternative paths if one connection fails. Reticulum’s main disadvantage today is that standalone LoRa nodes generally need an attached computer running Reticulum. If #microReticulum can run directly on devices already used for Meshtastic and MeshCore, it could significantly accelerate Reticulum’s adoption. P.S. I found this article on Hacker News while searching for #MeshCore. The discussion there is also interesting: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48299638 #Mesh #Decentralization

@everton137@social.vivaldi.net As much as I love #reticulum, its packets are a lot bigger than the ones from #meshcore (network transparency comes with a cost ;) ) it's a little sad, but atm you need to use the tool that fits your use-case (and #meshtastic has its use-cases too)

@fdlamotte@mamot.fr @everton137@social.vivaldi.net if you haven’t yet, you have to experience the feeling when you get voice/image over LoRa with #reticulum HAMs are not happy for clogging the air and the duty cycle policy is violated, but, hey… it’s fun 😄

@marsik@witter.cz @circfruit@fosstodon.org @everton137@social.vivaldi.net @fdlamotte@mamot.fr That’s something to think about. I’d like to ask: what about power consumption? Since we #reticulum fans want to minimize our dependence on hardware and third parties as much as possible, does Wi-Fi have terrible power consumption compared to LoRa? Even though Wi-Fi has a much higher data transfer rate than LoRa. I think there are already solar-powered Wi-Fi projects, but how energy-intensive are they compared to LoRa? It’s great that every device has Wi-Fi these days, so we can take advantage of it. How much power does a directional Wi-Fi antenna consume over a range of about 2 km compared to LoRa? Thank you.

Today I joined the Open Monday at xHain (@xHain_hackspace@chaos.social) Hack+Makespace. It was great to discover the space, and I really appreciate that they set aside a day to welcome everyone. I hope I can join one of their upcoming events about using LoRa radio devices to build mesh networks! I’m particularly curious to learn more about Reticulum. I’m still waiting for my devices to arrive so I can start experimenting with them. Ah, it's awesome that they accept dogs! #LoRa #MeshNetworks #Meshtastic #MeshCore #Reticulum #Berlin

@to3k@infosec.exchange @norbertcala@mastodon.social Też czytam od paru dni o #mesh , szukam, co kupić na poczatek. Ale jednak zdecyduję się na #reticulum Widzę większy potencjał.

I remember asking people at the last #FOSDEM about ways to communicate by radio in case of an Internet blackout. I explored a few possibilities, but no one mentioned #mesh networks, even though I'd first heard about them more than 10 years ago from an activist friend living in Pará, near the Amazon rainforest. A few weeks ago, I bookmarked a video on the topic. I finally watched it yesterday and discovered #Meshtastic. Since then, I've also come across #MeshCore, #Reticulum, and #atak. When it comes to communication, we seem to enjoy creating many different approaches. I hope these communities will find ways to interoperate and communicate with each other.
