Fuck no!

So it’s not just me. The peering between europe and asia IS crap!

I’ve been to thailand in november and the connections to europe were hit or miss the whole time. The latency was poor and the reliability varied day by day.

The only thing that made any difference was switching providers on the EU side. It seems that some ISPs have better peering than others.

Also lowering the MTU for the vpn tunnel seemd to help a lot, but that might’ve been a placebo.

The Talos Principle 2. The micro stuttering makes it unplayable for me, and it will never get fixed.

I feel bad for the people being judged. Imagine keeping a straight face looking at the guy with a funny wig doing the most serious grown up job and pretending it’s just normal.

Let me get this straight… people are seeing how the US government is doing, and think to themselves “Great. Give those guys more responsibilities!”

speed will increase as development continues

LoRa is already surfing on the bleeding edge of physics. There is no way to get anything more out of it, other than allocating wider EM spectrum for this usecase.

There are some radio amateurs in my area trying Meshcore on 169Mhz for example. There are also some new boards available that can do LoRa on 2.4Ghz, but both approaches have some downsides as well.

For a more stable and reliable network, we would also need radios capable of communicating on multiple channels simultaneously (remember, the whole thing started off as a reaction to really cheap, almost disposable dev boards), but now we’re approaching the complexity and requirements of the traditional mobile networks.

People who studied the code speak really fondly about reticulum, however, it’s not as popular for building the lora based mesh networks, because the full stack does not run on the simple microcontroller. You need what is basically a standard PC connected to it. Given that mesh repeaters are usually designed to run off-grid on solar and battery, wasting additional power for a raspberry pi or similar computer would make the project unfeasible.

All while Meshtastic or Meshcore are perfectly happy with the esp32 or nrf microcontrollers. And the nrf ones can run without a direct sunshine for days with the reasonably large battery.

This is how I got my first job. Later I’ve heard my answer made rounds around the office a bit, but it was totally worth it :D

I was referred by an existing employee though, so they probably accounted for the fact that nobody would bring a complete asshat to their own team.

Yes. They should use a generic word that’s already used by 15 other projects… that’s how everyone does SEO these days. :P

Only half joking, though. It’s such a rare and refreshing experience to enter a name of a thing into a search engine and get the relevant results.

It’s far from ugly.

It’s hard to compete in road construction with the guys building on stolen land paying for labor with stolen money.

I liked the first one, but it felt unfinished to the point I had doubts they would ever make a next game.

Cutting down the international communication lines usually means incoming internal purge. But with belarus, I’m surprised there are still people left to purge…

Blow up his handlers computer!

I have mixed feelings about these 1W modules. They must be handy in small setups with compact antennas, however, building the mesh despite the strict limits and TX power is half the fun. When it turns into a screaming match, there is no way back.

Btw. what is the second antenna connector for?

I resisted it too for months, for the same reason, until a certain radio club members buit a few well placed repeaters. The whole thing has gained a momentum and now we have a network spanning over 3 countries.

It’s pretty funny to relive the experience of the past when the geography instead of nationality was the main factor affecting human connections.

solar node just will not stay charged.

nrf based microcontrollers (as opposed to esp32) need surprisingly low power to stay up. I’d say get a Sensecap solar from seeed studio and give it a try.
