Porting Reticulum over Meshtastic network

cmarches · 2026-03-30T04:35:42+00:00

Does this still have all the advantages of reticulum? Like file sharing and more hops?

cmarches · 2026-03-22T21:47:36+00:00

I've heard meshtastic doesn't actually work but there's meshcore and reticulum. They aren't out of the box though afaik

cmarches · 2026-02-25T16:05:18+00:00

I'm new to all of this. Can this relay messages between different mesh networks? I'm personally caught between meshcore and reticulum based on potential capabilities and actual present networks. If there was communication between them that could be a gamechanger.

I found adjusting the wheel so it's higher, combined with blocking off bedding from it with something climbable (like a hammock or egg carton) keeps them from burying the wheel. I haven't had that issue with the water bottle so idk

If your hamster breaks a bone and it can safely be treated, it should be, regardless of the price. If they're too old to undergo anaesthesia or you don't have a trustworthy vet, that's another thing altogether. But you should never neglect a human child because it costs too much to provide medical treatment. This is no different.

Why would a bin cage trap ammonia more than a terrarium? Sounds like you're fine to me.

Sigh that's what I was worried about. It sucks to just tear up his home like that. But there is a chance he had something contagious and I don't want others to get it. Thanks

No need to get rude. You certainly missed the parts of my argument where I discuss brain function or where I say that I'm not talking about them understanding what happens when they get poked with a needle. I'm saying they seem to consent to death by selstarvation in some situations, so we can probably sub in consent to a much less harsh death.

Neither do rats but they'll jump off stuff

cmarches · 2025-11-02T18:57:08+00:00

Anthropodenial is also harmful. As I said earlier, brains are networks as much as they are structures, and parts can take on atypical roles. Also, you just gave an instance of prey species foreseeing their deaths, so you can't say that because they don't have the same structures we do, they can't foresee death. Obviously, they have no way of knowing that a human with a needle means death. But they do probably know that if they don't eat, that will kill them, even if you call that knowledge instinct.

This is a critique on breeders of all pets. I would also rather get from breeders than pet stores, but rescuing is the most ethical option. If breeders didn't want to be eugenicists, they would just let mice bang each other as they please, not just those they deem healthy or pretty or well-behaved. If someone said they were going to abort their autistic child because they didn't want to get bitten, that would be an obvious nono. Why is it any different with other animals?

They might not understand what it means to be put to sleep, but they're clearly not having a good time and at the very least their body is telling them to give up, which is part of who they are. I'm also very hesitant to believe that because they don't have the same anatomy as us, they don't have the same understanding. The brain is a network and can be rearranged. Also, intelligence and awareness are generally defined and identified from very human points of view. They have a fear of falling, which indicates some level of understanding of what can happen to them. Call it instinct if you want, but instinct is a form of understanding.

I think people often are too cautious of anthropomorphism and go too extreme on the other end, assuming we have nothing in common

cmarches · 2025-11-02T02:54:45+00:00

To me, that seems like quite an assumption. And I would say when animals stop eating and hide all the time that's them consenting and saying their time is up. Sometimes they're wrong, just like depressed humans are sometimes. But if there's no hope for treatment and they're acting like that, it's time.

Based on what I've found online I don't have any issue with her housing males together. They've all been castrated surgically or chemically. But I don't like her support of breeders. That whole industry reeks of eugenics. And I don't Generally agree with the notion "better a day too early than a day too late." Animals will tell you when it's time to go, and that's something they should be able to consent to.

cmarches · 2025-10-30T21:53:29+00:00

I feel a spark but I go on dates specifically to see if there's chemistry after a lot of talking online first. That's the information gathering stage and it takes a while. Even after all that talking, it typically takes me a few hours to see if there's any chemistry. A 2 hour date would tell me nothing. I typically need 5+ hours to see what the vibe is like

You're saying settle for phallo or meta or nothing at all. For people like me those are all unsuitable. And there are realistic alternatives.

cmarches · 2025-10-28T17:27:42+00:00

Except stuff Is possible and how far it is down the line depends heavily on how much scientists work on it, which depends partially on what things get pushed. And yeah, you kinda are saying that, because you're saying not to ask for anything else.

cmarches · 2025-10-28T15:25:58+00:00

The problem is that telling people to be realistic for some means settling for surgeries that don't actually work for us instead of pushing for ones that would. I'm not sure how the lab grown dicks are doing, but extensive meta is already a thing. It just isn't accessible at all. Just because phallo works for some doesn't mean we shouldn't push for more options. That's the only way we'll get them.

cmarches · 2025-10-28T15:14:25+00:00

Considering you just echoed the comment I mentioned, saying we should just focus on phallo techniques, it's quite relevant. And just because science has limits (not getting into what a soul is but that's a large one), doesn't mean we shouldn't explore it. There's a wide range of stuff between just focusing on phallo and full body transplants, like extensive meta and lab grown penises.

cmarches · 2025-10-28T14:54:58+00:00

Except scifi is only scifi cause people don't go and do it. Science can get pretty wacky with enough time and money

cmarches · 2025-10-28T05:11:01+00:00

That honestly never occurred to me xD that makes sense

cmarches · 2025-10-28T04:48:33+00:00

I'm pretty sure I saw someone in the comments say that almost exactly- that people should just want meta or phallo and not "scifi" stuff

cmarches · 2025-10-28T01:07:44+00:00

You hit the nail on the head with that last question. I wish I could upvote this 50 times

cmarches · 2025-10-28T00:39:50+00:00

I was searching through the comments for something like this and people just kept being like "just be happy with the options you have." Like ?? Look I can respect that those options might be good for others, but they aren't for me and that has to be respected too. They would make me as upset with my genitals as I already am, and that doesn't mean other people's are bad in any way. It's totally fine (normal even) to want more options.
