 Meshtastic is fantastic, but also have a look at Reticulum and NomadNet!

Here's a screenshot of accessing an off-grid version of Wikipedia from NomadNet.

 Where's the best place to connect to? I just tried setting up Sideband, but I don't know how to connect to any people/groups 

 That's a nice gadget, that's it.

You won't use it in the real world when something like that is really needed, because nobody else around you has one.

Plus: your cellphone will barely last one day even in standby mode and you will soon discover that coverage for that thing is god-awful with obstacles between both parties. We are talking about a reach of 30 meters, you might as well be shouting to your neighbors instead of using fancy devices.

Real-world useful tech are sneakernets. 

 Sounds like you’re imagining a post-apocalyptic world 

 Scarce need to imagine far away, that kind of world happens today around the globe when you look with attention. A few eastern parts of Europe included in present.

Imagine yourself with geo-blocked internet access, unable to fetch stuff from aliexpress and troubles to even keep your phone charged with power.

Sneakernets become more useful than LoRa clouds. 

 Is sneakernet with deadrops on LXMF a better solution? 

 Haters gonna hate 

 This looks fun

 Get those as high up as you can for the best signal. Tbh the antenna's that come with the kit are good enough for 1-2km 

 I didn’t get mine yet. 

 how far does it take you ?  

 I just got it, haven’t had a chance to do anything yet 

 oh nice. what do you intend to use it for ? Keep an eye on your kids or something ?  

 No, just to play around. There are 0 users around me. I’ll have to give one to someone or just message myself 🤣

 Why did you choose the this hardware?
I am still looking for the best choice. 

 Because I don’t know what I’m doing 🤷‍♂️ 🤣

 Ohhhhh, shiney new T114s! I've been eyeing them but really dont need more nodes right now (said no one ever). Tell us how it goes!
