That’s the dream. However that really only exists in local areas. Good luck trying to get companies to host on a radio mesh network.

Homie I’m a dirtykid lol, was for a while at least. It’s street slang.

This site is pejoratively roleplay revolutionary suburb kids, discussions on here make me genuinely uncomfortable as an impoverished fellow that’s not from the yuppie demographic.

So I avoid here for the most part, besides talking technology.

This project is slowly growing from small personal radio mesh networks. It sounds like you have some interesting points and I’m not sure the devs are truely ready for huge-scale networks. I would highly recommend getting involved if you have something to add.

GNUnet is more of an attempt to replace the entire internet, with replacements for every feature of the modern web, while Reticulum is a far more solarpunk and permacomputing vision. It’s a very practical, implementation-first approach.

It’s primarily a cheap, easy, practical tool for a local community, which can be linked with other communities around the world using any means practical.

Man your badass lol. Very cool, thanks for the resource.

This may have some similarities on the surface, however this is a mesh radio network designed for an extreme challenge of navigating a un-known-sized network, with unknown structure, with extreme computing and bandwith limitations.

I think that’s actually a very positive sign. This is a mesh network made by radio people, not a mesh made by networking nerds. Now that it’s mature, they are doing a rewrite in C++.

Hit me up on some of the nomad network bulletin boards.

Network replacement. The reason this comes from left field for us meshnet tech peeps is because while we have been looking at gnunet and thinking about things from the network side, the radio heads have been building their own mesh nets for ages, and this is the current cutting edge. Same social space behind LoRA.

While we were building from the top-down (ie. trying to start with the singular project), these people started from the bottom up, and got a lot farther. Growing out of radio networking protocols.

This gives them a very fresh perspective, which is why their solution is so elegant and simple. None of that fancy math bullshit that requires heavy calculations.
