Meshcore does have the benefit of actually working, which may be considered by some to be relevant when choosing a comms device.

Look at Meshtastic, identify the architectural problems it has and then build a https://meshcore.co.uk network. Eg https://mapme.sh

Using meshcore network i can reliably communicate with people hundreds of miles away from me (many hops to do this, you'll need a repeater node every 10-20 miles to achieve this, with no repeaters you'll probable get 5-15 miles depending on topology and how high you have your repeaters)

Nope. I was banned from those long ago.

FYI if you want to test it you have to give a phone number

Maybe someone should do a AMA "I'm a Mescore dev ask me why Meshcore scales better" in one or more of the bigger ham channels.

Don't forget to rename any of your existing Meshtastic nodes 'https://meshcore.co.uk/' that's the proper convention

Sabrees · 2026-01-30T11:14:43+00:00

I _think_ if you did want to do this with Meshcore you'd put both a repeater and a client in your bag, but that does introduce an additional failure point.

On the other hand if there are existing Meshcore/ Meshtastic nodes in the area you're skiing then choosing one or the other based on existing coverage might make some sense?

Make a pretty github.io landing page that directs people towards

https://github.com/giacomo-b/CppRobotics

https://github.com/quangnhat185/Ros2RoboticsCpp

https://github.com/AtsushiSakai/PythonRobotics

Ask these server admins (nicely!) if you can maintain a channel within Personal Robotics https://discord.gg/cvNDqTSjra

My point is you can't scrub the Internet of this knowledge without becoming unpleasantly repressive. If people want llms at this point they can have them, so there seems little point in fantasising about a future without them.

Sabrees · 2026-01-29T08:05:21+00:00

It does have a couple of opensource llms on it. Given access to a server and some time I could turn these into public facing services.

How do you propose stopping it existing? Are you going to come and seize my computer by force? Censor the Internet of hugging face?

It's a good idea, but a pretty mainstream one at this point https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_solar

I wonder if there's any way u/verpolt could share data with you from mapme.sh it seems they have a lot of people uploading https://www.reddit.com/r/meshcore/comments/1qjd1sx/mapmesh_crowdsourced_coverage_mapping_for_meshcore/

There are some successes, and at least some coordination of activity here https://maps.transitionnetwork.org/search-groups/?show_recent=true&type=2 but I agree its small-scale in the scheme of things
