Re: "Just stumbled into the Reticulum / Nomadnet project…"
@fairlygoodthanks : sure. On the rare occasions I can reach the cluster of activity in NW London, I can get good coverage. But I don't have the money or the time to put up my own repeater, in the hope that somebody else witin range will join me one day. I guess that's the problem we all have, out in the sticks.

my understanding is that reticulums strength is not that it runs over LoRa, but that it can transport data across any low-throughput medium (LoRa, bluetooth, wifi, packet radio in theory) very efficiently with low bandwidth & power requirements.
design-wise, the idea is that you can reach someone regardless of how they are connected, that it can store and forward later if your recipient is disconnected, and that the protocol enforces real E2E encryption.
since the protocols (reticulum + lxmf) are so generic, a lot can be built on top of them (like nomadnet)
i run a nomadnet node. there isn't much on it right now...

Just stumbled into the Reticulum / Nomadnet project tonight. I'm still bumbling my way around but it seems interesting and very gemini-esque, especially with the terminal interface of Nomadnet. I see there's a gemini proxy as well.
