Can anyone point me to a community focused on the concept of mesh networking?
(I.e. a way to preserve some form of internet access / communications in case of autocratic shutdown, war or natural disaster)
The only ideas I have right now are related to Ham radio and a product like GoTenna…
The Fiat Crisis is upon us and it's important that you understand the dynamics that have led us to this point over the course of decades.

Listened to two of your recent TFTC episodes back to back while trimming trees yesterday.
Felt good to do physical labor and experience intellectual growth simultaneously.
Keep up the good podcasting work. Ideas spread.
Just this morning had a fascinating 90-minute conversation with an intelligent mathematician. (Doctorate level education).
We got to talking about the concepts of primes, randomness, public private key pairs, and the philosophy of mathematics.
I asked what he thought about digital scarcity.
He said it sounded like I was interested in cryptocurrency, and warned me to stay away from them. I agreed with him that "cryptocurrencies" are scams.
But he couldn't see the value of digital scarcity in relation to money; and how a "digital" thing could ever be money, because it isn't real.He referred to the tulip craze, and said that even a tulip at is core has a commodity value of greater than zero.
While he wasn't ready just yet to engage in a conversation about Bitcoin, it was nonetheless delightful to me that I knew the answers to his concerns and criticisms.
I'm convinced that Bitcoin is the best form of money the world has yet seen.
Reminds me of Jack Mallers a few week ago, talking about how prior to Bitcoin, we just looked around and picked up things that were useful as hard money.
But we MADE Bitcoin. It's purpose-engineered to accomplish what we desire a high-quality money to accomplish.

🤡 A lie about value [fiat] = evil money
🪨 Uncommon grey rocks [silver] = okay money
💰 Rare yellow rocks [gold] = quite good money
⚡️ Digital, scarce, immutable, portable, verifiable, divisible, accessible, set of UTXOs [unspent transaction outputs] created only via the unforgeable costliness of a time and energy expenditure = really good money!
#Bitcoin
💯🤙
Not that I claim to own any Bitcoin, but theoretically if I did own some Bitcoin: I'd probably go on walks and repeatedly sing my seed phrase words in my head in order to memorize them; maybe humming them over and over again to the melody of a a common nursery rhyme tune...?
If you can't afford to buy real estate as a long-term financial investment for the future, consider looking into Bitcoin.
A reason that land tends to be valued ("they're not making any more of it") is also true of Bitcoin.
With his casual, comfortable teaching style and Good Natured Grin™️, BTC Sessions lays out a case for a form of digital money that has such a low entry price, nearly anyone can afford to get some!
Zapping sats is funny…
Sometimes I feel apologetic for only zapping 21 sats as my default. (Currently less than 1¢)
Other times I think about how much a sat could be worth down the road and think “wow, that’s a lot of future value I am zapping!”
Uh oh… that doesn’t bode well for ye olde USD
