ResearchBuzz: FirehoseHow-To Geek: This tiny radio lets me send texts without Wi-Fi or cell service . “Reading about community resilience recently, I came across talk of something called Meshtastic and how it lets you stay in touch with people miles away even if your internet access and the power grid itself were shut off.”

The Daily PerspectiveMesh versus single router: A practical guide to home WiFi
mancube@benroyce the whole #meshnetworks thing feels suspiciously adjacent to other efforts to substitute something safe for something that might enact change: protest tech by buying someone else's tech rather than becoming active in lobbying for change. shop for dodads to build a toy wireless network rather than network with your community and build a support system.
ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIESCutting off #Internet access for #authoritarian control is entrenched in #Russia
People talk about #meshNetworks. But Russians have decided on another approach:
pagers
radios
landline phones
Maybe the #revolution *will* be televised: it can't be streamed
I do enjoy myself some #SwanLake
"sales of pagers... saw a 73% increase compared to the same period in February. Radio sales rose by 27%, and landline phone sales grew by 25%"
Digital NomadLPWAN Meshes: ClusterDuck Protocol - Purpose-Built for Emergencies
The ClusterDuck Protocol (CDP) was where my mesh networking journey truly began. The story behind Project OWL (Organisation, Whereabouts, and Logistics)—students building emergency communication networks after Hurricane Maria—resonated deeply, highlighting a technology designed not for hobbyists or industry, but for saving lives when infrastructure fails. While I found its concepts “much better thought through” from the outset, the project’s slow pace and patchy hardware support meant my personal involvement never truly moved beyond some initial tinkering.LPWAN Meshes: ClusterDuck Protocol - Purpose-Built for Emergencies

# Trust Is the Substrate, Not the Feature
Security is not a layer you add. It's the material everything else is built from.
This is the thing most AI infrastructure gets wrong. You build the system
