Hey Albert, nice to meet you too - I hear a lot of buzz about MT/MC but I have to admit I haven’t quite found a usecase for it in my projects. What are you using yours for?
What kind of sci-fi are you into, and what’s your novel about?
I have to admit that british black tea is the only black tea that I truly drink with milk. Something about the tanins makes it mix better, compared to the black teas you get in Germany which do not mix well with milk at all
What do you miss most food/drink-wise about your homeland?
I’m trying to set up a local network for my “friend group”, we work in local politics and mutual aids, and I want a back up communication channel in case we lose our signal groups (because being against capitalism is legally terrorism).
my book is about a generation ship in a 400 year old journey. I follow a family line with chapters being short stories about them. as I track an ever changing societies, histories, and cultures… it’s deeply personal and full of generational tales.
i lived in many places, Barcelona, Palestine, England, Scotland, now midwest USA, i do miss Mediterranean food culture, that are so diverse and all superior to whatever I have in Michigan
How does it work over long distances though? I thought mesh was more for local communications between devices, and then relays into internet for anything wider. If internet goes down, aren’t you limited to your neighbours?
Your book sounds really interesting – I’ve read one or two generation ship themed books, but they always end violently (religious priest overthrows corrupt leader, or population kept naive to the ship and all questions are stifled out, etc)
By Mediterranean food, you mean like decent salad (lemon, vinegar, olive oil) and bulgur pilaf?
how does meshtastic work over distance? in theory really good, as all nodes act as a repeater. in practice? not so well, might have to install some nodes around the city. they aren’t expensive, but they aren’t cheap either.
by Mediterranean food I mean the food culture of basically every Mediterranean nation. they are all so good. and it’s also less focus on a big piece of meat and more on the whole assemble, and generally varied and healthy meals.
Hmm! I will have to do some tests then. I wonder if it’s possible to share dial-up level internet over the radios
I’m a nobody, I just hack and tinker with whatever interests me. Currently playing with some Kindle/MobileRead stuff, and mainlining some old devices. What about you?

meshtastic internet!!!
been thinking about it, it’s open source, the “sending messages” is already there it just need to be automated in a browser…
in theory tcp/ip over lora is possible. and probably not that hard to program.
only question is if doing something like that would clog up the network.
