Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It seems like having a website open and available on the internet is getting practically impossible to manage, with bots accounting for more and more traffic. AI has gotten to a point where it can circumvent just about any form of captcha, sooooo, what? Does "the internet just get abandoned in favor of some other, better technology that we hope crops up? Does it fade away? Do the real nerds start their own separate internet, and not let companies in? I donno, food for thought I guess.

Reject Internet

Return to Ham Radio

(Meshtastic-Net? πŸ‘€

I have no clue how to do soldering stuff... where do you get a pre-built btw?)

You don't need to solder anything. There's a bunch of devices ready to go. For instance, the Liligo T-Echo.

But also don't expect it to be a replacement for the Internet. Right now it's just a local chat app, more or less.

Also, AI can talk and listen, so what's to say radio won't have the same problem if enough people start using it

I have a n8n workflow that automatically posts to my local meshtastic network when the space station is going to fly over (and be visible). Not AI, but if I can do it with python it would be trivial for AI.

Ah soldering a french word for wait till hot and poke.
