There's a newcomer to the Mesh world In this video we introduce #Meshcore, a powerful open-source, text-based encrypted mesh-radio system built on #LoRa hardware—perfect for off-grid communications on your homestead or preparedness setup. #Meshtastic fans will find Meshcore instantly familiar — a low-cost, open-source way to stay connected when the internet and cell service aren’t available. But Meshcore takes a few different paths, and we’ll break it down in plain English. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaFltojJrAc Edit: not fully foss ⚠️ MeshCore is not entirely open source, which seems odd for an off-grid decentralized communications framework. Some parts are open, but the official clients (the mobile apps, web app, and T-Deck firmware) are not https://hackaday.com/2025/12/06/lessons-learned-after-trying-meshcore-for-off-grid-text-messaging/ #mesh#p2p#im

Dino 0.3: Video calls and conferences – encrypted and peer-to-peer https://dino.im/blog/2022/02/dino-0.3-release/ #dino#im#videocalls

In germany there is a group called FreieDeutscheGesellschaft.org Experimenting with the LoRa technology. https://t.me/FDG_Portal loRa is super effective in Cities, but not in the countryside. Therefore we switched to the Reticulum Protocol, which allows us to use litte computers like raspberrypi as Gateways, for connecting Lora, CB, Wifi and even more. First we tried Meshtastic, but there were many problems with messaging using many nodes. Nodes not waking up after sleeping for some time. And many problems with the APP, and interoperabilities. So we decided to stop the complete Process, because we needed a strong base first, before expanding. We found reticulum was better in many ways for this usecase, since then we are using it. https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum Hw list: https://t.me/NoGoolag/11676 #communications#im#lora

Texting with Zero Cell Service? What a Meshtastic Idea! LoRa and GPS For Off-Grid Communication https://meshtastic.org https://youtu.be/gqAsWtIjHUY In this video I discuss the Meshtastic project and what kinds of features it has. It is an off-grid texting mesh network using inexpensive LoRa boards. for 10-20 dollars each you can buy a few radios and setup a way to communicate if you don't have cell phone service in a remote area. With GPS, you can even see where everyone in your group is at on a map #meshtatic#im#p2p#lora

Instant messaging apps review I tested a lot & mulled on this for a while. Our goal was something less centralized, more private & harder to take down or block. BRIAR is good & with p2p modes to be censorship resistant if internet is cut, but you have to invite each user separately to a group which is a pain XMPP is archaic & behaves like a traditional one to one messenger. Yes, groups are there but are more like texting groups & you can't tag or reply to anyone directly. MATRIX is better but ends up being 3rd party centralized because hosting yourself is a hog, which means you're bound by that hosted server & all those rules, giving up your email credentials, getting possibly kicked off, etc. Matrix.org server started requiring email verification for instance. Matrix doesn't encrypt metadata, your IP is visible to others in chats. The last 2 require a hosted server somewhere for large groups to function properly, and so does SESSION since it too has no servers of it's own. But its way lighter than Matrix & can be hosted on a mediocre VPS (which I've done, I can pay, its cheap its fine). The added benefit of Session is everything is onion routed automatically, and there's zero identifying factors when creating an ID. No phone numbers, no emails, nothing. Restore that ID on a new device using a cryptic passphrase, or start a new one if you want. Check out @Nogoolag room with SESSION: http://chat.nogoolag.com/nogoolag?public_key=53b45de08520eb3af97933e9a4991e74e26972ee91cc94e6a05da03d956d4313 #im#session

As we continue to live under increasingly dystopian regimes, the need for secure communications is more vital than ever. Telegram has been a great resource and platform for disseminating information and content, but it certainly isn't perfect either. Some research was done into which digital communication protocols are most ideal for our purposes: https://telegra.ph/WEbHqRllMIfQa5YzpTSJBrNxfo6tu9-Digital-Communication-Protocols-09-08 The top picks are as follows and are in no particular order: XMPP NextCloud Jami Briar Tox Kontalk Delta Chat Bitmessage Ricochet Status Scuttlebot Session has not had an E2E audit completed yet, but not a bad choice ȱ Protocol for SYnchronous Conferencing (PSYC) Matrix is not recommended: https://www.hackea.org/notas/matrix.html CAUTION: peer-to-peer communications reveal one's IP address to each other, so using a reliable VPN, proxy, or TOR is advised. Briar is an exception to this rule, as it uses either Bluetooth range or the local network it's connected to; else all traffic goes through TOR. Ones without servers are ideal, such as: Jami, Tox, Ricochet, Status, Scuttlebot, ȱ, and PSYC-2. Some are still in development and may be prone to bugs. Keep these options in mind when communicating with your clique. Many of us belong to private groups on Telegram which are presumably free from moderator surveillance (or at least interference), but ultimately we should transition to a more durable platform that will be unable to censor our messages. Try a few out and see what works for you and your crew. #im

Briar 1.3.8 release today https://briarproject.org/news/2021-briar-1.3-released/ Official Briar fdroid repository: https://briarproject.org/fdroid/repo/?fingerprint=1FB874BEE7276D28ECB2C9B06E8A122EC4BCB4008161436CE474C257CBF49BD6 #briar#im#p2p

SplinterNet Android app designed to create an unblockable Twitter like network that uses no cellular or Internet communications. All messages are transmitted over Bluetooth between users, creating a true peer-to-peer messaging system. All messages are anonymous to prevent retaliation by government authorities. SplinterNet is a true peer-to-peer network in that it requires physical proximity to other people to transmit messages. In the current version this happens over a close range Bluetooth connection. To illustrate how SplinterNet works, here is an example scenario: You take a picture of a protest happening near your home. Fearing a spread of the protest the government shuts down cellular and Internet access to most citizens. You write a short message about the protest in SplinterNet and attach the picture. When you next meet with your friends, you sync SplinterNet with them. They now have your photo and will spread it to their friends. You also now have all their messages, which includes photos taken of protests happening in other parts of the country. Any person who can reach a working Internet connection can post all of these photos to any sharing service or send directly to journalists to publicize. If you fear capture, you can press a single button and all the messages in your copy of SplinterNet are deleted. Features Create a post with text and an optional single image. Mark posts as important to increase their spread within the network. These posts will be sent first during syncing and will be highlighted for the people you sync with. Delete posts to stop their spread. The contents of the network reflect what users of the network think is important and appropriate. You don't have to spread anything you don't want to. Project Status This is an experimental project still in development. All of the features listed here should work, they just haven't been tested in large networks. Please let us know how it works! https://raw.githubusercontent.com/megamattron/SplinterNet/master/other/splinterNet-infosheet.png https://github.com/megamattron/SplinterNet 📡@nogoolag📡@libreware #SplinterNet#im#messaging#p2p#bt#bluetooth
