Internet shutdowns are devastating for human rights. We can’t rely on tech oligarchs to save us, especially when these same companies and governments are the ones to sever our access to the internet and telecommunications. This is why it’s important to set up communication mechanisms before a disaster happens.
Inb4 they outlaw meshtastic
Ive found meshcore to work far better, any reason to use meshtastic?
They’re both LoRA. What makes one better than the other? Serious question, because I genuinely don’t know.
Meshcore has preset node types for client/repeater vs meshtastic that does not and everything connects to everything else making it more chatty and giving it an advantage in constructing a network out of nothing vs meshcore that does better and way more stable as actual long term infrastructure
I prefer reticulum. They make it so the network is independent of the physical layer. You can even use old AX.25 modem if you wanted to. Which is what I did. I basically use MCU to be a modem and use 3.5mm jack to connect it to any amateur/HAM radio
