me says:
Jamie: I've actually been thinking of tethered balloons for emergency mesh nodes  😄 

❤️

11:16

Jamie says:
that actually seems very, very practical and a good idea, tbh, these days 

11:18

me says:
Yeah, Meshtastic is one of the open source mesh solutions - though maybe a bit outdated... 

11:21

me says:
The ones that are more interesting to me are MeshCore and Reticulum 

11:21

Jamie says:
I keep wanting to check this out more, the local anarcho-commies in my hood have had a node up and running for years now... not a TON of farms here tho 

❤️

me says:
Meshtastic mostly uses \"flood routing\", but MeshCore and Reticulum have smarter adaptive routing.
