      Related to Meshtastic. As i understand it’s like a bunch of walkie talkies using homemade hardware, that strangers talk to each other on, but sends digital data instead of analog.

      Its a niche thing i see picking up popularity here on Lemmy. Been curious about it because I think there’s work being done to get TCP/IP working on it, which would be cool because it would be an internet without paying an ISP.

      It’s a mesh networking protocol based on LoRa. The fact that it is in the middle of this list is kinda hilarious.
