    I'm ignorant of mesh technologies, but can somebody explain to me why they are using MQTT in their stack? Topics and pub-sub over TCP doesn't sound like a mesh-y kind of thing. Does it work well in this context?

    Are meshtastic nodes still spamming their battery status over the network?

    Have they figured out that flood routing is a terrible routing mechanism?

    The Meshtastic list of networks is nice, but it is missing several. For example, the lack of listings in North Carolina led me to find https://ncmesh.net/.

    (The two amazon links for the antenna upgrade and pair of radios is swapped, if you're looking for the one, click the other)

    Yay! Now you can enjoy the 8543 device roles Meshtastic has to offer, and see the static position and battery level eating away at airtime utilization.

    How exciting!

    Meshtastic is a bad protocol developed by toxic people in way over their heads.

    Beware of using their trademark! They’ll send you a cease and desist letter.

      You seemed to have made an account just for this reply. Care to explain the cynicism? I’m out of the loop with the toxicity.
