Seems to me pulling an Office Space would be in order. 'Fix the Glitch'.
You all probably already saw this but I’m just seeing it.

woah I did not see that!
In case anyone is following, that note went though withe no missing packets, and took 1min, 6 seconds. This is on the slowest possible configuration of #hamstr for now.
GA from #hamster and ham radio land! Final test before packing it up and heading home.
This test is about 40 Miles away in the mountains above my house.
#hamradio
Testing replies over ham radio from new setup. Finally tweaked some software and timeouts and seems to be working better!
#hamster
Seems like many of the plugins are outdated/not working nowadays?

Setup as a docker a few years ago. Amazing.
Gotcha. I'm not sure how pskrepirter works. I've used it, but never as a listener.
Would help with propogation and connecting to different servers in the future for sure.
Since it uses auth and back and forth, you wouldn't be able to easily pass packets to nostr however. But an interesting idea!
Perhaps a listening sdr could be used to listen on the hamstr frequencies for any valid hamster packet, and report a signal strength/db to a server. It could in theory listen for both client and server packets. Would be a seperate app I think to run and report to a database. Maybe even its own website, that shows a list of known servers and their signs strengths.
You could even setup a bot that posts to nostr the current conditions/signals from various servers worldwide!
I'll add to the list for once I get some of my packet loss bugs and timing issues solved.
Interesting question!
Not without some manual work.
Since the server would not have an active connection, it would never open a connection.
However, you could use an sdr to grab all of the packets as a 3rd party and put back into order. But no, the client makes a 'connection' to the server, with lots of back and forth.
You could in theory reassemble, run crc checks, decompress etc... by hand, but wow it would a nightmare.
I mean nothing is stopping you from using it. Just like if Bitcoin was banned somewhere and you still used it.
It's FOSS and you can do with it what you please. There isn't a license requirement built in, not like it checks or anything. But legally yes, you would be required to have a license.
There are some Lora TNC modems that use KISS protocol I think. Perhaps it could be forked to run with those. Not sure. They don't require a license in the US. But range is much less.
I am more interested in the long range abilities, personally
Hope that helps.
Field Testing HAMSTR today. Conditions not great, so far major failure...lots of work to be done. If this goes through it will be a miracle.
What's the hold up? Issues with apple or app store? Access to encryption?
There is no iOS solution though, correct? I am working soon on amber integration for HAMSTR. Then browser extensions.
