The v13 release is not just a release either, it is also our official announcement of participation in the annual #hacktoberfest. 💻🥨
We know that we're a few days late to the party, but v13 had to get ready before. 😉
This year, the fest is opt-in for projects and we definitely want to opt into taking part in this great event! If you ever thought about starting coding or giving back to your favourite open source repositories, now is the time! Head over to the hacktoberfest website to learn more about it.
We already prepared some issues on our repositories and aim towards opening more issues for starters, but feel free to begin a hunt for improvements and fixes by yourself!
I Built a Mesh Network Across the World | Data Slayer
That escalated quickly...
In my last video, I introduced #Reticulum—an open-source protocol that could allow anyone to build networks without relying on traditional internet infrastructure. But there was one big question left unanswered: how far can it actually go?
In this video, I start with a simple setup inside my house and begin pushing the limits—testing communication across rooms, neighborhoods, and beyond using WiFi HaLow and #mesh networking. The goal is simple: see if it’s possible to send real messages across distance without depending on ISPs, centralized servers, or the internet as we know it.
#Network#MeshNetwork
The Internet, Reinvented.
In this video, I build a #Reticulum#RNode and prove that completely different radios — #LoRa and Wi-Fi — can communicate through a hardware-agnostic networking stack. Reticulum routes traffic above the radio layer, automatically bridging dissimilar frequencies, interfaces, and modulation types. I then run it over Wi-Fi HaLow Haven nodes to create a long-range, encrypted IP #mesh with no traditional infrastructure.
Finally, I push it further by running #ATAK across the network, demonstrating a fully open-source, decentralized communication stack in action.
