@fluffykittycat @QuestForTori We need to establish a new Internet that isn't controlled by corporations, most likely by standing up wireless mesh networks across the country. #Reticulum #MeshCore #Meshtastic #LoRa
OK #Meshtastic community, what is everyone using or recomending for a local community MQTT map or Dashboard? I want to make something with more features and functions then MeshMap.

Malla #meshtastic AMBA — Cobertura estimada

La red Meshtastic del Área Metropolitana de Buenos Aires (AMBA) cubre aproximadamente 1.154 kmÂČ segĂșn el anĂĄlisis del convex hull calculado sobre 92 nodos con GPS activo.

¿Qué es el convex hull?
El polĂ­gono mĂ­nimo que contiene todos los nodos concoordenadas GPS reportadas. No representa cobertura RF real (que depende de antenas, altura y obstĂĄculos), sinola extensiĂłn geogrĂĄfica de la red.

Dimensiones del polĂ­gono:
· ExtensiĂłn norte–sur: 40,3 km
· ExtensiĂłn este–oeste: 57,5 km
· Área total: 1.154 kmÂČ

Nodos que definen los vértices del polígono:
· T4BH — [T4Lan] Base Hudson (extremo este)
· NvhL — Nodo Valhalla (extremo sur)
· !f46f — nodo sin nombre (extremo oeste)
· lch1 — laaaucha_114 (oeste-centro)
· LXM3 — LXMN 11 El Encanutado (noroeste)
· SF — SanFer MT/MC (norte)
· JHA2 — JHA002C (este-norte)

@bazkie Possibly, the #XMPP could be used first — e.g. the #Prosody installation and configuration could be dead simple and it supports all necessary encryption out of the box.

As practice  shows, the authoritarian governments usually one step behind the tech, the society is using. So, first time the simple solution, like Prosody on the server out of reach of Five eyes countries, bought for crypto and without logins logging, will be enough I think.

When the next generation of politics will learn about XMPP — well it's time to deeper and mass use mesh networks. As I heard, there are big communities of #Meshtastic in the Europe, especially in Germany.

Look at this as an endless battle between sword and shield.

Hm, mein WisMesh Tag hat jetzt von Dienstag bis Samstag gehalten, jetzt sind nach einer Nacht aber schon 40% weg, nachdem ich ihn vollbeladen habe. Ich werde aber auf jeden Fall noch die Zephcore Firmware ausprobieren, die mir @molitorix empfohlen hat. Sonst bin ich mit den Teil ganz zufrieden, die Sende-/Empfangsleistung ist natĂŒrlich etwas schlechter als mit meinem Heltec v3, dessen Antenne ist ja aber auch an sich doppelt so groß wie der WisMesh Tag. Mit der Akkulaufzeit bin ich ganz zufrieden, habe ja aber auch wenig empfangen und fast nichts gesendet. Nur die Akkustandsanzeige finde ich komisch: Samstagabends hat er mir noch 40% angezeigt, am Sonntag morgen war er leer. Und wie gesagt, gestern Nachmittag vollbeladen, heute morgen angeblich nur noch 60%. Und die Button Belegung bin ich unter #meshcore noch nicht verstanden, also wenn da jemand weiter weiß...

After about 24 hours of #meshtastic with lots of cycling around town, and creating a spreadsheet of RSSI and SNR between my location and my house, but not having discovered a single other node in the network, I switched to #meshcore to give that a try. It is dramatically different, not as polished, but I immediately started receiving public messages from others. Yey! Still trying to make sense of how those messages arrive at my device when it can't detect any nearby nodes or repeaters...

Anyone wants Federated Mesh stickers? :)

TÀnÀÀn oli mielenkiintoista seurata pallon lennÀtystÀ kotoa kÀsin ja yrittÀÀ saada yhteys palloon, jossa oli mm. Mehtastic- ja Meshcore-laitteet.
Meshcorella sainkin yhteyden muutaman minuutin ajan klo 16.08. Matkaa arviolta noin 150-160 kilsaa. Korkeutta pallolla oli noin 7-8 km tuossa vaiheessa.
Meshtasticilla ei valitettavasti saanut yhteyttÀ.

EdellispÀivÀnÀ vein Meshtastic-laitteeni korkeammalle, joka on mustan putken sisÀssÀ (kuvassa). TÀnÀÀn vein kaveriksi Meshcore toistimen, harmaassa laatikossa (kuvassa). Virransyöttö poella molemmille.

Muillakin tavoilla olisi ollut mahdollisuus vastaanottaa pallon tietoja, mutta ehkÀ seuraavalla kerralla.

Mielenkiintoinen kokeilu itselle, nÀin ensikertalaisena.

#Meshtastic vs #Meshcore
Quo vadis?

It‘s been already a month since support for Web Serial came to Firefox and other browsers based on it.

https://hacks.mozilla.org/2026/05/web-serial-support-in-firefox/

It‘s one of these things where you first don’t know when you‘ll need it, but then you‘re glad that you can flash your #Meshtastic device from flasher.meshtastic.org without first having to open a weird browser like Chrome.
