It allows us to make a mesh network (interconnected nodes where you can contact a node even if it's not in range for you, by using other nodes) with Lora radio devices. Lora is slow but has long range. I think it works better when you have line of sight, like if someone can put a node on a mountain, it would help everyone.
I think people might have sent audio with it but it's mostly useful for text messages. It could be useful if the Internet is down, maybe, but it's more like a toy.
Clickbait title. Just say it's meshtastic.
Don't forget Chinese corner cutting. You probably have to knock 25% off of that if you want infrastructure of a level of quality and safety tolerable to Westerners.
Is that a thing? It sounds a bit like some bullshit propaganda from here. China = bad.

I wonder if Keet with every be open sourced. They still are missing a lot of features that I personally find important like trying notification, read receipt.
I wish xmpp was p2p. I can self-host but it could be way simpler if people didn't have to.
When I complained about it, Matrix told me that my public complaints were hurting the ecosystem and I should be quiet.
Weird. I think they did some improvement to prevent those abusive messages but it took a while and it was embarrassing. Maybe it's hard to prevent them with a federated network but still, the abusive messages where basically a copy paste.
I watched Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space (2002) this week in preparation to see Tamala 2030: A Punk Cat in Dark on Sunday.
It was pretty weird and I had to watch a YouTube video to help me understand a bit more. I still liked it though, the music was great, there was some good visuals and I prefer watching weird shit over boring Hollywood regurgitation.
You're right. It can be useless if nobody double check it and even then, it will never be the same.
You can try to translate the lyrics with AI if you really want.
Here's the translated lyrics from another one of his songs that I like. "Oublie ça" (forget about it). I like that the song is a bit silly. I used deepseek "Translate those lyrics from Québec's french to english. I want a full translation.".
Here's a complete translation of the lyrics from Québec French (Joual dialect) into English, preserving the raw, colloquial tone and meaning:
Verse 1: I was at peace and I was relaxed Leaned against the pinball machine Wouldn't you know it, this big thug walks in His eyes sunk in bean grease (lookin' wasted) He grabs a beer and comes over to me Starin' me down from head to toe
"You got some boots there, boy I like 'em just like that... Bet they're Kodiacs C'mere, you little fucker I'll show ya, we're gonna have some fun I got a bike chain that packs a punch I'm takin' your boots, you're done for..."
Chorus: Me, I told him: "Forget it" He socked me one I slapped him back He socked me another one I gave him my Kodiacs
Verse 2: I was at peace and I was relaxed Nice and leaned against the bar Wouldn't you know it, this big thug walks in Orders himself a big glass of hard liquor Then he nudges my shoulder a bit And stares at me thinkin' he's funny
"You got a coat there, kid That ain't crap, I know my stuff Man, I'm freezin' on my Ski-Doo With that, I'd go on crazy rides Get yourself behind the Shell station I'll rearrange your face with a shovel I'm takin' your coat, one-two-three..."
Chorus: Me, I told him: "Forget it" He socked me one I socked him back He socked me another one I gave him my coat
Verse 3: I was at peace and I was relaxed Fix'n up my scooter in the parking lot Wouldn't you know it, this big thug rolls up On his fancy, prize-winning Harley He parked right next to me Kept his helmet on to talk to me
"You got some real bum's pants there All worn out, flashy, they're cool Bet they're Robertos Like the real Hell's from Toronto Get yourself behind the shed I'll show ya I'm tough enough I'm takin' those pants and then I'm gonna..."
Chorus: Me, I told him: "Forget it" He landed a good one on me I gave him a headbutt He landed two or three good ones I gave him my pants
Outro: The bottom line of this song, deep down Is when you're at peace and you're relaxed Don't hang around bars too much, my guy If you're dressed to the nines (like a Pope) 'Cause when you get to the end of a song And there's nothin' left, not even your shoes It ain't funny, no no, my little fool To get taken by big thugs.
The only mistake that I saw, without spending too much time on it, it that for "I gave him my Kodiacs" the AI thought that he meant "(i.e., kicked him with them)", while it's actually being defeated and giving the boots.
That's perfect. Thanks!
I don't know. It's the same for me but I got a pretty bad reception. The only time I saw some messages was when someone was sending some from a plane, so I guess it was a special occasion.
