  1. #Reticulum excels at off-grid communication, but sensor readings run on a different packet economy to chat.

    A Reticulum Link costs three packets and 297 bytes to establish. For an isolated reading every 10 minutes, LXMF opportunistic delivery embeds data in a single packet (<255 bytes), skipping handshake overhead and radio fragmentation.

    Propagation Nodes give duty-cycled nodes encrypted store-and-forward.

    Part one of three.

  2. Sensor Data Over Reticulum: LXMF, Propagation Nodes, and the Low-Power Case

    LPWAN Meshes: Reticulum, Where I Landed covered Reticulum as a communications stack: transport-agnostic, cryptographically addressed, built for chat and file transfer over LoRa, packet radio, or whatever medium is available. This post is narrower on purpose: it breaks down the specific mechanics of moving a sensor reading, not a conversation, through Reticulum: which delivery method to pick, what a reading actually costs in packets and bits per second, and what already exists in the open-source community to build on rather than reinvent.

  3. Als je up-to-date wil blijven met #reticulum moet je wel elke dag updaten op dit moment.

    #lxmf 1.1.0 is nu de laatste , voor berichten
    #rns 1.4.0 is de laatste, de netwerklaag
    #nomadnet 1.2.7 is deze week nog niet geupdate :-)

  4. Nice empty inbox. Time to enjoy the weekend. Have a good one y’all!! #reticulum #LXMF

  5. A house is not a building code.

    I wrote about using ChatGPT + Codex to derive a protocol specification for Reticulum/LXMF from its Python implementation—turning “look at the source” into something closer to a language-neutral contract, with test vectors to follow.

  6. The above images are taken with hardware jpeg compression 640x480 with quality 90 (the highest), transcoded to WEBP with quality 8 (out of 100) to handle small sizes. There are quite a few parameters which I implemented and can be tweaked on the fly with keywords sent to the camera over . I need to take the camera out (currently behind a window) and tune up the day exposure somehow to reduce the image burn.

  7. The #Reticulum ecosystem has been expanding quietly in multiple directions at once: new language implementations, new transports, and new tools!

  8. I've long been fascinated by the #mesh network #reticulum & the #LXMF messaging protocol built atop it—especially for areas w/o reliable Internet, or where govt. blackouts occur. I strongly believe bridges from LXMF to the open social web & open messaging protocols like #DeltaChat are strategic. I'd love to connect with others sharing similar thoughts.

  9. @nodestar Am still learning #LXMF and #Reticulum - find it promising but deeply in need of good apps and better UX.

  10. #LXMF deserves to be treated as a first-class consumer messaging protocol. Let's build it the phone it deserves.

  11. #LoRa isn't what most people want. #LXMF actually could be.

    LoRa is a powerful capability which LXMF can use when it's available, but designing the entire ecosystem around it may have narrowed the imagination of what this stack can be.

  12. #NASA hoped to create an internet between planets. The delay-tolerant protocol that NASA could only dream of, one developer actually built.

    What classical DTN sometimes gets wrong is proportionality. Implementing BPv7 correctly is a substantial engineering undertaking.

    #Reticulum achieves DTN-class resilience at a fraction of the operational weight, doesn't require a sysadmin, can run on cheap parts, even when the internet is down.

  13. QUESTION: "How do I turn my reticulum node into a backbone or infrastructure node?"

    ANSWER: "You don't configure a type. You configure capabilities."

    This free reference guide breaks down the full vocabulary:

    Backbone, infrastructure, gateway, transport node, propagation node...

  14. @debacle cool chart! The stuff the internet was made for! 🙂

    I scanned it and couldn’t see #Meshtastic, #Meshchat or #LXMF .

    Are they out of scope?

  17. Ok, here's the cherry of the cake 😁 T-deck with very basic GUI messenger over LoRa. youtu.be/yFDQxUWxRlw

  18. #Sideband is an extensible #LXMF #messaging client, situational awareness tracker and remote control and monitoring system for #Android, #Linux, #macOS and #Windows.

    It allows you to communicate with other people or LXMF-compatible systems over
    #Reticulum networks using #LoRa, #PacketRadio, #WiFi, #I2P, Encrypted QR Paper Messages, or anything else Reticulum supports.
