You should really make the map distinguish and tell for what is for, is our best asset.

Closet node to me is 36km away with no line of sight. Rip

Joseph Butler
Holy shit, only one guy in Idaho has a mesh network and of course its in the middle of liberal capital
Caleb Cox
At least we overthrew the overthrowing of NN
Alexander Brown
Why not cj?
Carson Bennett
Is that 6U rack units? If so bretty neat
Connor Sanders
Map isn't working
Levi Perez
I'm in France, my point is literally alone, i can forget this meme in France.
Connor Green
Map is up, check your umatrix config, and keep in mind map is old. You should have at least 2+ devices to test with (an old pc is fine too, as long as it can run debian and have a wifi adapter).
>i can forget this meme in France try finding some neighbours interested, or your school, uni, aggregation space, local fair, anything goes. Nobody at this point is likely to find a match within reasonable range in that map, it's still early development phase.
>Why not cj? You mean cjdns ? if yes, it's already in the todo list..

Saving this thread from page 7. Is one of the Jow Forums projects that can have some utility and future. God's works, anons.
i feel like if we could figure a way to access clearnet through a "raid style" fantasy concept at 6 in the am we could maybe work back throttling power away from isp.... circumvention
Jace King

But why?
Michael Morris
you in the irc?
Nathaniel Martinez
Nope, I'm not. Although it would be nice to have this kind of content here since maybe some anons are not either.
Brody Cruz
Pretty expensive stuff. It's probably worth it for those distances, but it can't be easy aiming that over 200km.
Andrew Rogers

How do I contribute? Do I have to buy those expensive ass 200km routers or do I just give my neighbours old routers with OpenWRT and some software?
Michael Watson
>Do I have to buy those expensive ass No, you can try gternet on a sbc (like a raspberry ) or any pc with a wireless card. As long as it can run debian, you should be fine. A router firmware is not in the workings, so no OpenWRT like firmwares.
Lucas Green
Don't they have batman in OpenWRT?
Justin Reyes
7 nodes of 4 ubiquiti AF-11FX-L, so much theoretical coverage
if we had an 8th in detroit it would span toronto and some of michigan
Jose Moore
thanks... nice sevens man
Gabriel King
Wait, these things have 200km range in all directions? The one posted has a pair of dish antennas, so I assumed it is a wireless bridge.
James Moore
Guys get your shit together, I'm waiting for a transatlantic link
Luke Cox
>Giving the hackers of Jow Forums your address so they can hack you with their hacking skills and their hacking tools and take control of the wireless blender during the night to slit your throat while you sleep Fuck off hackers
Evan Gutierrez
You people are inane enough to be around on an anonymous imageboard. The last thing I want to do is create a virtual network with you that's connected to my computer.
CONNECTED VIA VPN NIGGAZ. JOIN OR GET LEFT BEHIND IN THE BOTNET.
Nathan Gonzalez
they are, and those would be the main nodes for city to city with a 300km range, from there we would use a cheaper setup per person thats not a main (almost everyone) that uses smaller dishes to connect to smaller point to points and from there enterprise ap modules to distribute the mesh network to the actual devices within from what i can see up to 600 feet per module
Hudson Allen
so like 1 for your whole house, or one for a dorm building at a uni...... A dish network to bankrupt dish network type deal
Jonathan Gutierrez
But if your userbase grows, you'll want more bandwidth than those things can provide and they're immensely expensive to put in parallel. Wouldn't it be better to start small, lay wire to your neighbors, connect neighborhoods together, a big bundle of wire to the next city, etc? That scales a lot better, is cheap, and easy to maintain.
Evan Brooks
if we linked these 15 major cities with the 300km nodes, it would be expensive, but our overall outermost layer of infrastructure would look like this, our main nodes span so to speak
this would make it so if we used the mesh network nodes like relays to the clearnet we would span out to canadian and mexican isp's
Cooper Flores
they would never let us lay the wire man
Colton Brown
i believe if it really took off hardware manufacturers would r and d for it.... the isp guyts would never let us run the wires man where i lived at and t bogards poles from google fibre
That's why you keep the data that is moving very simple at first and build up.
Get FidoNet working, and then move up to FTP.
Christopher Ortiz
yea keep it light and get the web up and spanned then fill in individual nodes and find ways to keep data light and improve bandwidth
John Price
Why not, the cubans did.
Blake Cooper
Version 1 = 100KB file size limit.
Noah Garcia
how2join I can contribute a VPN and mesh node
Julian Roberts
Friendly reminder than the map is your best asset. If you want to join just mark your location or find a nearby mesh.
Also the way of communication is not set in stone, you can use wire, ronjas, even your phones to communicate between meshnets IF your neighbor also agrees in the same way of communication.
Let's say some user has its concerns about wanting to contribute but worried about letting people connect to his computer. Not trying to be like the above assholes, just wondering for someone who truly has the doubt.
William Nguyen
You do know this is a secure connection between two know parties, right? As in, you probably will know the dude you are connecting. Do you understand that?
Don't let CIAniggers convince you.

Charles Lewis
You need to put the equipment on a tall as fuck tower and align it perfectly (normal guyed steel towers wiggle too much for this kind of distance) to get 300km. 100 meters up only sees 35km to the horizon. Because horizon distance isn't linear a whole damn kilometer up only gives you 112km of vision. There's some light bending fuckery that can give you a practical range extension, but it's not totally reliable and it's not an enormous bump anyway, like 20% unless you're bouncing on the ionosphere.
Don't count on more than a few km per hop unless you're hitting a satellite or fiber link.
Evan Collins
Renting solid tower space would probably cost a shitload too, if anyone is willing to give some random Jow Forums dude a spot on a tower.
You have a point. Is it too late to change the name? Ideas?
Nolan Allen
>name
>DO NOT talk about: >logos or names (use the Git issues for that)
Ayden Walker
There's no point in a name until we reach a major point when we merge several big communities. To get to that point, we need way more normies in that, so there will be a merting/conference for that kinda stuff at one point. Until then the "name" of your local network will be more than enough. That's why talking about it, is useless.
