Re: "Gemini over LoRaWAN?"

In: s/permacomputing

I really think it's the way forward. Gemini, or gopher, or some sort of BBS really. I would think something that can be synced, so that you can keep in touch with other. This BBS is a good example of a system that would work well with LoRa radio, but should also be reachable through other protocol. I've made myself a small e-paper 'typewriter' that also has a LoRa radio. The tablet is android, and can connect to meshtastic. But living in the middle of nowhere, I can't test that setup just yet. I'll send pic / write about it, somewhere in gemini :D

@daruma please write a loooong post about it! I would love to read about it, I am thinking of creating similar things!

My project still in progress. I modify my client to be a proxy server to link Lagrange with meshtastic.

After that, is easy to create a adapted capsule for meshtastic. it's easy to create page loading ender 10 sec on longfast.

this a video of loading in longfast a gemini capsule.

i wonder how to do that without meshtastic. i understand that lora is very different, and running tcp/ip over it is not that easy. but still, i wonder are there options if not meshtastic, what else can we do. i guess if i understood lora better, i would know.

It's also exit Reticulum network with an ip system.

This network work with lora, ham radio, wifi ....

They already have a message system and a text web system with Micron (mix markdown + html) with compression system.

Nice project

Gemini over LoRaWAN? — I'm fascinated by the idea of running a smolweb over LoRaWAN. Imagine a decentralized network of FLOSS-hardware devices, solar-powered, each running a gemini capsule and a relay (HAM radio style) to transmit data on to other points on the LoRaWAN mesh network. It's not a fast way to communicate, but smolweb gemini doesn't need to be. If LoRaWAN can reach 56.6kbps, it'd feel like the days of dialup, but... decentralized, solar-powered, and resistant to censorship. Has...
