Its on a table right now, it'll be going on my roof

It is! We'll see how she does once I get her all wired together. Still waiting on some standoffs.

The nebra next to it's case is super nice as well. Waiting for a zebra hat from wehooper4 to pop into that bad boy

Another more informed guy in our group just posted this, seems like I may have been wrong https://meshtastic.org/blog/zero-cost-hops-favorite-routers/

APRS routing is not adaptive to moving topology; Meshtastic explicitly supports mobile nodes and dynamic meshes

MT is more meant for flexible, off-grid, ad-hoc meshes with mixed mobile/static nodes and evolving routing optimizations

In my opinion, faux unicast on a broadcast medium is generally not a good fit

What are your primary direct connections? Assuming yuba and sutter buttes?

 

Traceroute:

About 200 miles as the crow flies.

The mesh spans up to yuba city at this point, so about 270 miles

Why is the community that is posted in someone's home address?

Our international teams kept enabling sourcemaps and I just had devops lock the directory to vpn access only 🤷

I know sourcemaps aren't the end of the world as it's all client side code that lives on the clients computer but it just feels dirty

Its a RAK 5.8dBi Fiberglass Antenna I got from Rokland. I'm just getting into all of this recently so I've got a lot to learn, but it's a fun process!

Yeah, that's where the Faraday cage would come in to play

  1. Semi, there are some network bridges that translate packets in to ones that the target network expects. Meshtastic has the "market share" in my area, and is completely FOSS, so I gravitate towards it. Reticulum seems very interesting but doesn't have high adoption at this time.
  2. Yeah, I'm sure that some people do. Cell networks may also go down if overloaded during a natural disaster, but yes this is mostly a hobby.

I'm planning on leaving a few nodes in advantageous locations near families work and home to ensure we can coordinate if cell goes down, and will get around to stashing a few away in a cage just in case

  1. There are two others that I know of: Meshcore, and reticulum.
  2. In my short time in the scene, I haven't seen anyone talk about anti-EMP measures they have taken.

Its my understanding (I may be wrong here) that the antenna wouldn't be able to be exposed during the initial EMP anyways, so you'd need to keep a stash of nodes in a Faraday cage to deploy after an EMP

 

Side note: how do y'all carry your antennaed nodes while out and about? Like to the gym or errands
