What is #meshtastic everyone keeps talking about?
Like a decentralized wireless radio? Like ham radio, but digital?

Non licensed off grid texting… think of CB radio only text based that uses each radio as a repeater as well so if you get a few high enough that their radio waves are not disrupted, you can reach across states

Kinda wanna get into it
It's just text tho
Oh? Is limited on the types I data it can send?
Guessing it’s a bit slow.
From what I know, it's just text and emojis. I think you can share files
And I’ve heard that people have used raspberry pi to add message boards and I believe they figured out lightning transactions over it also
If you can connect it to a raspberry pi, you can connect it to a lightning node 👍
Pretty dope
I have an old raspi3 I could repurpose for this.
Plenty of places you can read up on how to setup a lightning node on rpi
Sure is, I already run one on a pi
So you're using nostr:nprofile1qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0spzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qgwwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkctcprdmhxue69uhkummnw3ez6vfwde3x7tnpdenkzmnf9e3k75xqss4 hub, I suppose
Alby hub is connected to my node, but I’ve been using thunderhub to manage my node since before alby hub and still use that more.
But I’m still a rookie with meshtastic so I haven’t tried building one on a pi yet
I’d like to play in this rabbit hole… where to start? Non technical noob 😬
I first heard about it a month ago on nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n's podcast and since have tried to digest what I could from other sources too, I see nostr:npub1mrechz2tgtmspqc9e6l30dyfy4j57g43srzcvxupzs0cpn8h9pyqwms0g5 is doing a hive talk about flashing them tonight, but a good place to start looking is fresnomesh.org
