minus-squarerumba@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up47·1 day agoSo, I setup meshtastic. Put an antenna on my roof. Have a decent number of mesh radios. Put one in each car in relay mode. Setup a locally run LLM and made an interface to it. Working on setting up a BBS. I’m in the high density suburbs, I can, when the weather is just right, reach a single node that doesn’t seem to be able to reach any other nodes. If I go on a drive, I can see 5-10 nodes. Adoption in the mid-Atlantic US is just so damn low, it’s not really usable. We need some antennas up high, but there aren’t any reasonable options around me.

minus-squarerumba@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·25 minutes agoThere are 4 in my metropolitan area, and I don’t have line of sight to any of them :( There are about 30 meshtastic in the same area, but most of them are out of range to each other. I even stood one up at work on the other side of town and mqtt’d them together.
