I really ought to set up that community meshnet I keep thinking about setting up...

Oh hey, I keep thinking about doing this to and hosting a website like the old days lol, but when I search about it the biggest thing that comes up is like LoRa, but ig it's too slow for hosting internet-like services
Meshtastic is 80% geeky fun hobby, 20% preparedness, and 0% ready to facilitate anything more than simple text messages. Still neat, though.
Yeah, we've got some T-decks and so far it's only been a novelty and the intended purpose is just so we can text from a decent distance if infrastructure goes down. Will probably also see some occasional use camping as a backup for our radios with a T-beam attached to a bear bag up in a tree as a relay.
Can be used to transfer data between app, like location pins in ATAK
That's true, but from what I've seen they haven't really been a standard in the nodes that folks are building.
That 0% hurts so much.
You want Meshtastic
I've already got some gear and there are a few other nodes around, but basically all it is currently is an emergency backup for texting family members if the Internet and cell service go down. I'd like to start making some cooler stuff like maybe a weather/sensor station and maybe even some online stuff, but I've got so many half-done projects I'm hesitant to start another one lol.
You might be interested in an episode of Linux Unplugged from a few months ago that goes into Meshtastic quite nicely.

Cool, thank you!
