  • Are you ready for the day the internet splits?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I am the only mesh core client I am aware of in my local area as well, but I still leave it up just in case, as eventually I know that I will start seeing things.

    I know that the density is improving, as when I first started looking at the map in late April, I calculated the mesh core density to be 1:207,000 and now its 1:153,000.

    As that density continues to improve, you and I are both more likely to see things show up.

  • Try meshcore. It's true that it's a smaller network with fewer users, but it also lets you do 16 hops instead of 7, so you're more likely to be able to get a farther distance.

  • This is true, and why we need to start building up the mesh networks before this happens.

  • It doesn't absolutely require repeaters. There is an off-grid mode.

    Plus, repeaters in meshcore are more like client base in meshtastic. You're meant to put them up at your house. Is it good to put them on tall towers and mountains? Absolutely. But if you can't do that, then you can put it at your house at, say, 30 feet, and it's just fine. Because even with the 3-byte IDs, you still get 16 hops.

    T-Mobile Launches New Discounted Student Plans

    Jump

  • If you have it set up on your router so that everything goes through the network, then you don't need to do anything on your individual devices unless it's going to be on your phone, which would be off of your Wi-Fi network sometimes and on cellular.

    In that scenario, you'll want an application to act as a local VPN tunnel such as the Tor VPN app or Invizible (fdroid)

  • There is a song from a musical called Avenue Q and the line goes, "the internet is really really great, for porn. I've got a fast connection so I don't have to wait, for porn. There's always some new site, I browse all day and night, It's like I'm surfing at the speed of light, for porn."

  • Take a look at MeshCore and LoRa. Also Reticulum

  • DuckDuckGo has an onion address.

  • Anthropic: Our position on open-weights models

    Jump

  • I agree. I'm an open source maxi and go out of my way to only use open source models.

    And I don't mean open weight models, I mean fully open source models where you also have access to the training data and checkpoints and stuff like that. In my opinion, go open source or GTFO.

  • Which should I do? Your opinions?

    Jump

  • That's the good thing about meshcore though. Even in 3-byte ID mode, you can still get 16 hops, so you don't need repeaters in as optimal of places as you would with meshtastic.

    It's certainly better to have them in optimal places if you can, but if you can't then you can just put a repeater up on a flagpole at your house and it's still okay.

    No life or limb risk necessary to bring it down from a 30-foot pole if needed.

  • Darn thing, the heck man.

    Well, I hope my description was at least good enough so that you could properly replicate it.

    If you happen to have an Android device lying around, you can go to Settings, Accessibility, and then TalkBack Screen Reader, and turn it on, and give it a try. And you will see what I mean that way.

  • I don't know if this will help or not, but here is a video of me using my Android device in the way I mentioned, and I have it set so that you should be able to see where I touched on the display.

    Edit: A flick from left to right is the equivalent of using the tab key on your PC, and a flick from right to left is the equivalent of using shift+tab.

  • Plasma-mobile working orca screenreader!

    Jump

  • The flick can be from anywhere on the screen to anywhere else on the screen as long as it is from right to left or from left to right.

    As an example, when you tapped the Wi-Fi icon, you would be able to swipe from left to right, anywhere on the screen, and the next thing announced would be whatever element came next, which I think was mobile data, but I'm not certain of that.

    The flick has to be able to be done from anywhere on screen as a blind user is not going to know where the element is visually on the display. Most of the time.
