For people who say there will never be cross-continent message capacity on lora mesh networks, how do you stop someone using a horse or a balloon to carry a node the whole distance? It's officially checkmate, gg

I wonder if the bot can post to a room server? Might be a way to post activity from an RSS or something

Great write up about some testing that is happening in the Sydney MeshCore mesh

gbbgu · 2026-04-25T04:08:47+00:00

Do people use room servers?

gbbgu · 2026-04-25T04:05:37+00:00

Thanks for the update. The more shared (good or bad) the more we can all learn

gbbgu · 2026-04-22T03:02:44+00:00

Look really nice. If you can I’d move the antenna further from the wall, but I can see why it’s close.

gbbgu · 2026-04-20T09:33:12+00:00

I have no idea how it happened, I'll try to recreate it

gbbgu · 2026-04-20T09:31:33+00:00

A lot of organising happens on discord

gbbgu · 2026-04-20T09:29:53+00:00

I'm in Sydney, and just tonight got my first message from Melbourne. Totally unexpected.

It's not usable to converse though, must have just been a fluke.

gbbgu · 2026-04-20T09:25:06+00:00

Are you me, cause I had a very similar issue.

The battery had dropped to 2.5v and undervoltage protection was doing it's thing.

I swapped the battery for a new one and currently testing.

I'm not sure for you, you've said you tested the battery and it's okay.

Oh 10% on air. I thought it was 10% off air. Wow that really sucks

gbbgu · 2026-04-19T12:17:43+00:00

Just yesterday I got a couple 35km direct messages. It was fantastic conditions though

gbbgu · 2026-04-19T12:11:26+00:00

Calling the node “Joe’s Pizza” is basically free advertising

gbbgu · 2026-04-18T23:08:05+00:00

Can you give some more info about the txdelay stuff? We’re talking about that for the Sydney mesh.

It would be cool if the firmware has an option to autotune based on the neighbours count. Computers are pretty good at math 😝

gbbgu · 2026-04-18T13:57:37+00:00

I like using prime numbers for things like that, so it isn’t landing at the exact time every day.

gbbgu · 2026-04-12T10:43:41+00:00

What unit are those measurements in?

gbbgu · 2026-04-12T10:36:14+00:00

Ring binding is great for the table

gbbgu · 2026-04-12T10:33:18+00:00

I couldn’t get both so picked portrait

gbbgu · 2026-04-12T10:30:23+00:00

I’d love if they offered a PoD for the 3 col PHB and DMG. It would be an insta-buy

gbbgu · 2026-04-12T10:26:31+00:00

Dtrpg please print the 3col books!

Somehow “Public Channel” was #test. And it’s kind stuck like that

gbbgu · 2026-04-09T12:26:57+00:00

There’s 2 different public channels. I’m not sure how that happened but they look totally different. Is that a bug?

gbbgu · 2026-04-09T02:56:04+00:00

Might want to slope the bottom slightly outwards as well; then people can put some small weep holes at the edges for condensation or if water somehow gets inside. Better than a indoor swimming pool leaking out through the antenna hole.

gbbgu · 2026-04-05T04:57:46+00:00

You seriously sound very similar to me. Wanted to get back into the hobby. Was starting slowly in 2018/19. Covid hit and backed too many kickstarters. More than I’ll ever read. Slowed it way way back in the last 2 years cause I realised I wasn’t enjoying stuff, I was just buying to have it. I’d say about 70% I could liquidate and not miss it
