Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online

First device Benn goes into in this video is how to build a repeater from a cheap Home Depot solar light, but you can easily scale up with a larger solar panel / bigger battery for a repeater you're going to stick up on a hill somewhere or something.

Oh yeah i have 4 meshtastic devices. They are fun for a hobby but they really are not designed for anything other than txt messages. And its really spotty unfortunatly.
The meshtastic network only has a max data throughput of 28.8kbps. If you're looking to do something more than text, you're looking in the wrong place.
In my case, decentralized communications that are vastly more disaster and conflict proof than internet and cell is exactly what I'm looking for.
Thats awesome! I was thinking more along the lines of https://www.nycmesh.net/ but with our own web-services.
