Dear fedizens

I'm getting into secure resilient decentralised mesh p2p/p4p communication networks.
(Wow, that's a mouthful)

Could y'all give me some advice about relevant tech and hardware?

My primary use case is getting a few thousand people securely connected (messaging, preferably some web services as well) in a large area (hundreds of km²) with rugged terrain.
Eventually the use case will become fairly similar to "neighbourhood-first software", with 100k people across a few thousand km²: https://tv.lumbung.space/w/nzuB248U2LQA1LCn7vYmER

I've watched and read some stuff about #meshtastic, #meshcore and #reticulum, like
this blog post https://www.jonaharagon.com/posts/im-getting-into-mesh-networks-meshtastic-meshcore-and-reticulum
this glorious video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_F4rEaRduk
and #p4panda in this blog post https://lores.tech/blog/example-chat-app/

I'm leaning in favour of reticulum with p4panda on top, but can be convinced otherwise.

What sorta hardware is suitable?
Is #microreticulum functional?
Do you know of any decent guides?

Boosts welcome, cheers!
