@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?

#ClaudeCode on my laptop machine can, after a couple of pop-ups, see below, #ssh into my #pizero and monkey around with it..... not bad. The pi zero #lora #rnode is connected to the laptop via a hotspot that the pi zero generates to serve #reticulum #meshchat. The laptop is connected to that hotspot via a dedicated wifi dongle TP-Link Archer T3U Plus AC1300 for dual wifi https://amzn.eu/d/04oLHUGr (running nixos but works for any device with browser). #raspberrypizero info https://loramesh.org/subpages/piboxnode/build_pi_box.html

I have an Acer laptop in the loft running a #lora #rnode on #reticulum and #meshchat on #nixos since over 200 days and it still works. So Nixos was stable did not fail for over 200 days. For info about Reticulum etc. one can consult https://loramesh.org

#meshchat #reticulum #LoRa
It seems that it is important for all #rnodes in a given #meshchat based #loramesh #mesh to update to the latest #meshchat version to ensure all rnodes can function as intended.
https://newreleases.io/project/github/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat/release/v2.1.0

Has anyone managed to make a message #bridge between different #spreadingfactor #sf #lora #rnodes using #reticulum #rns : either using the same single computer and two different #rnode radios (on the same frequency), or using two rnode radios on 2 different computers connected by #wifi? I seem to get this not working "out of the box" because of #collisions of lora packets of the two rnodes. Has anyone managed to bridge lora rnodes by putting in a transmission delay in #reticulum e.g. #meshchat ?

🔒✨ Oh, look! Jack Dorsey's back at it again, this time with a Bluetooth LE mesh chat app that screams "IRC nostalgia" while trying to convince you it's the future of secure messaging. 📡💬 Because clearly, what the world needs now is yet another messaging service to fix vulnerabilities — we just hope it won't crash faster than a GitHub Actions script. 🚀🤦‍♂️

If a #reticulum #meshchat instance with a #lxmf address on one computing device has 4 identical #lora #rnodes #rnode interfaces, each with same settings of frequency #spreadingfactor #sf, each rnode having a #directional #yagi #antenna in close vicinity, will transmission to a sender of a #deliveryconfirmation (#downlink) from 1 antenna to the sender's direction, be messed up due to local #collision at rnode 1 of different attempted #acknowledgement signals of the other 3 near rnodes?

Setting a decent #deliverylimit in #reticulum #meshchat for an #rnode interface that matches a given radio parameter set (or sets) (#spreadingfactor #sf etc.) helps avoid the sad scenario that an rnode uses up its 10% maximum legally permitted #dutycycle allowance for that #radio #ismband when trying to send or resend payloads that stand no chance of 100% delivery in a reasonable time frame. https://loramesh.org/SF

With a #RaspberryPiZero2W & #usbhub https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/USB_HUB_HAT_(B) possible to use 4 #lora #radio #rnodes at same #reticulum #meshchat interface. Can use 4 different sets of radio parameters at one #LoRa #radio interface. Can use 1 radio with low #spreadingfactor #sf for short transmissions at high data rate for large payloads like images or accessing #nomadnet #pages and 1 with larger SF for longer range. No need to choose between #meshtasic presets https://meshtastic.org/docs/overview/radio-settings/ ! just use them all ! Magic

It seems to be possible to set a message size delivery limit as defined by the parameter lxmf_delivery_transfer_limit_in_bytes
in https://github.com/liamcottle/reticulum-meshchat/blob/b8d388fa56d4528b1e7311e4210edcc0c15ee959/meshchat.py#L3261
to let each #rnode have its own limit suiting its own #spreadingfactor #sf
#reticulum #meshchat

Can one set the #lxmf #reticulum delivery limit in #reticulum #meshchat on a per #interface basis i.e. per connected #rnode interface? https://github.com/markqvist/LXMF/blob/c426c93cc5d63a3dae18ad2264b1299a7ad9e46c/LXMF/LXMRouter.py#L38

In a world where control of #communication networks is increasingly centralized, #DIYnetworks offer an independent alternative. This presentation shows how to build up your own autonomous #meshNetworks with low-cost hardware components and open source tools such as #Reticulum and #MeshChat. We will present practical steps for the construction, configuration and integration of sensors, communication and computing power. We are also discussing how such #networks can be used in #humanitarianCrises, such as the organisation of aid measures through solidarity initiatives.

https://media.ccc.de/v/eh22-97-eggceptional-meshnetworking-#t=950

This workshop offers a detailed journey through the world of do-it-yourself radio networks and #autonomousCommunication structures. Using an exemplary system structure, we show how to realize cost-effective, flexible mesh networks with #LoRa #RNode, Reticulum and MeshChat. In doing so, we not only dedicate ourselves to the technical requirements – such as the optimal hardware selection, antenna adaptation and network planning (keyword “Network Planning 101”) – but also consider how these technologies can be used for #humanitarian purposes, for example at #CADUS.

To receive by #radio #reticulum #rnode #announces on #lora radio one needs to have the same 4 radio parameters as the announce: #frequency #bandwidth #spreadingfactor SF #codingrate CR
-> #meshchat permits any number of #rnode interfaces !
To hear the most announces, does it make sense & is it possible to set up several e.g. 5 #lora #radios with same frequency: 869.525 MHz
bandwidth: 250 kHz but
each with different SF & CR? Would one be able to receive more announces that way? Would it work?

A #rnode build for #reticulum using a #raspberrypi5 and #geekwormx1206 #ups for a #carnode or #solarnode
https://www.loramesh.org/subpages/upsrnode/upsrnode.html
Running #meshchat , four #liion #21700 5000 mAh batteries seem to run the #rak4631 and Pi for at least 24 hours. The device can be re-charged using #usbc or 9 to 18 V DC at up to 3 A via a jack or other connector. The rnode shuts down cleanly when batteries run out & re-starts when power is back, whereupon the batteries charge at the same time in #passthroughcharging

@memo puh! #Reticulum, #Nomad, #Sideband, #MeshChat, #LXMF ...
ich glaube ich brauche etwas länger, um mich da mal reinzulesen. Schaue jetzt mal nach einem Erklär-Video für Anfänger ;-)

On #reticulummeshchat #reticulum #reticulummesh #meshchat you can over #radio
1. run multiple #lora #rnodes on one computer.
2. make voice calls over #433mhz ( #ism band at low 12dBm power) between two #rnodes , but of course with delay.
I used #heltec #t114 (version 2 ) and two #lilygo #tbeam for
#VoiceCall #telephony
(un/like #meshtastic )
3. image files can also be transferred

#Settings in #reticulum #meshchat #reticulummeshchat #rns for #lora #radio #mesh Always set your stationary / radio #rnode #rnodes to be #gateway nodes (#interfaces) for effective #routing in your #mesh. See Sect 6.14 of rns #reticumlumnetworkstack manual
https://reticulum.network/manual/Reticulum%20Manual.pdf
(and of course always also as #transport node else message packets from other nodes won't spread) Set the settings in the #configuration file or #update the #meshchat program now & set to gateway in the settings menu.

Link below is for step by step instructions for installing #reticulum #meshchat on #RaspberryPi using #commandline ( e.g. with #remote #headless #ssh ) with automatic #restart of #radio #rnode #service on pi power-on or #reboot . Suitable for restart of pi+rnode after #brownout of #SolarNode following period of little sun, or for rnode in car #carnode to start automatically when car starts, or battery powered node --->
