Re: "Would Gemini with Gwit work over LoraWan?"
Hi @AnoikisNomads! Here's a link for a video that features a segment about the time when The Things Network community set a world record, with a transmission over a distance of 832 kms, using a balloon... Not representative of an ordinary use of the stuff, but still... The segment in question is at the 1'40" mark... I understand that LoraWan wasn't *originally* made to act as a mesh network for a decentralized user-operated internet... I guess what I was asking in the original post, is if it could be turned into that, despite not being made for such a goal originally... But then again, I'm not a very technical person, so the answer might very well be a simple "No"... :)

What about less inhabited places, and anyway, gemini is tiny, how would you get people interested in this.
Dreaming is still fun trough. The web is poisoned from the cables up sadly.

Hi @miragearchitect... Yes true, I'm just dreaming out loud... But there can be value in trying to imagine what's possible, at least in theory... I'm well aware that this wouldn't be an overnight thing... But as the fat behemoths of big tech get greedier and greedier, I don't think it's impossible that it would gain traction over time... Just like Gemini, it wouldn't have to replace the traditional internet, just to exist alongside it... As for remote areas, it seems to me that a couple of intermediary nodes between said area and a dense urban center would be much easier to get done than conventional infrastructure... Again, its very low bandwidth, but we're talking about smol internet, so...
— Solderpunk's post about a Git based P2P network
Would Gemini with Gwit work over LoraWan? — Hi there... So, after reading Solderpunk's post about a theoretical P2P Gemini network based on Git, I looked around for answers to said post, and found out about Gwit... Seems to be a first attempt at implementing Solderpunk's idea... It got me wondering... Would this work over LoraWan? I don't...
