Over time the concept of the downvote lost its meaning, even on Reddit (and that happened a while ago).

Sadly most people just downvote when they don’t like what you’ve said, not if it’s factually incorrect or misinformation etc.

That’s your opinion.

I like meat. Pretty sure we can find sustainable paths for this.

Oil and gas aren’t really necessary though, the sooner we can force corporations to see the profit incentive in green energy + nuclear the better.

Some games do allow you to import saves from older games that have swapped the MC. They just take the choices you made in the story arc and use that to create conditions for the world you’re now in. But it’s a rare occasion from what I know.

You’re getting downvoted but I agree, to an extent. If it’s an RPG telling a grand story, and not an individual piece dedicated to a unique individual, then yes.

As someone who took the 2A seriously after the 2016 election, and takes it even more seriously now considering the type of government we’re about to force onto ourselves… I definitely recommend taking the 2A more seriously for yourself and learn how to become effective.

The only way to truly protect your way of life, especially when government turns against you, is to learn how to defend yourself and your local community.

Sweet, have fun! Heltecs are some of the easiest devices to get started with. Just make sure to keep it charged :)

IIRC all devices would update according to firmware, so I believe it’s 30 minute updates. You can change that to much faster timeframes before chirps are sent out, but that will begin to drain battery life. (Can also manually request position and request updates in app)

If you’re concerned about battery life stay away from ESP32 devices and look strictly at nRF52840 devices, from RAKwireless and soon LILYGO/Heltec as well.

I personally haven’t used them for this use case, mine are primarily being setup as solar repeaters to build a local emergency mesh network. But I’ve seen some very neat use cases for Meshtastic so I’m curious if this could work!

Good luck :)

Nope, the Terrorist supporting Squad. Deus Vult brother.

Thanks for the post OP, updating my VaultWarden docker instance ASAP.

Ahh fair enough. I can see where you’re coming from.

I find the added redundancy to be a beneficial addition in my scenario, particularly for emergency situations where cell service is out (due to overuse/congestion).

These don’t need multiple points of redundancy to work but it does add peace of mind imo. Decentralization is a core principle of Meshtastic so that’s also another strong point that pushed me towards the protocol.

But I can respect not everyone has the same requirements or interests :)

It’s achievable by any frequency supported by Meshtastic. The average range you can expect, with good LoS, is between that 5-10km range.

However, if you have different circumstances you can expect less or even far above the average.

The range test article above shows the current record for a successful ping/chirp to another node (Point to Point, no additional hops). It’s at 254km currently :)
