Is there any actual open mesh setup that's viable in the US?

Not proprietary LoRa meshtastic

Not proprietary LoRa meshcore

Not proprietary LoRa version of Reticulum

Not whatever the trash RNode_Halow_Firmware thing was I saw on GitHub that mentioned a fucking .exe in the readme and nothing about Linux

Not children’s toy openMANET with zero prevention of IP address collisions

Something real, for adults

LoRa mesh is an absolutely PROPRIETARY, CLOSED SOURCE scam that wasted my money

LoRa mesh is an absolutely PROPRIETARY, CLOSED SOURCE scam that wasted my money

Edit - for anyone that hasn’t noticed, moderators/admins have removed several of my comments and locked the post so new comments can’t be added.

I spent over 100k sats on 2 pieces of landfill trash, because of retailers and other websites and random people lying about LoRa mesh protocols being “open source.”

The goal was already to spread the word about lies these retailers and other related sites spread, e.g. gaslighting users about end-to-end encryption, but there’s no point using the network to spread the word about the lie of being open source. It’s a fool’s errand, the corporations already scammed my money out of me and they’ll just use me to make even more money while I try to tell people to stop wasting the money. There’s simply no productive point when it involves spending money on closed source proprietary shit, and lying about being open source just makes it even worse.

So now I have a SenseCap and a Wio Tracker L1 Pro shipping to me for nothing except to scrap for parts like the batteries, and throw the malware transceiver/computer parts in the garbage so nobody can use them to spread this piece of shit malware cult.

Have fun downvoting/removing/banning me, to the majority here moronic enough to side with the scammers even after reading the truth.

Parfois j'aimerais bien pouvoir, comme au tout début, expliquer en français comment déployer votre mesh local de voisin à voisin, un réseau d'accès commun opéré par les citoyens, résilient et souverain. Mais je me vois mal maintenir deux langues pour Clewn's Open Mesh.

Mais il y a des gens sur terre qui ouvrent des wikis, et même bilingues. Je vous présente donc

Affaire à suivre !

A video overview of #Reticulum, a meshnet alternative to the #internet. Looks like a lot more close to a true internet than just Meshtastic and MeshCore. It's a protocol, not dependent on any one transmission technology, and highly cryptographic:

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?

First Yggdrasil Network release candidate in a while, will likely aim for a general release later this week.
