      It’s probably location specific, are you from eastern Europe? People use telegram more there.

      Or maybe you meant to say that telegram is better than WhatsApp, which is objectively true of course, but I don’t think this is ranked by quality but by appeal/ease of connection, since most people (outside of USA) use WhatsApp it’s far easier for the average person to contact you via that medium.

        yeah it was that second thing about telegram being better than WhatsApp.

        i guess it makes sense itd be by ease of use but I think seeing mesh core threw me off

    Imagine putting Matrix a tier below email with all the fuckery centralised services are doing, with how far a couple of Matrix clients have come.

      i tend to say “my number on whatsapp” because my whatsapp account is tied to a phone number from another country, so i don’t expect anyone to text/call me outside whatsapp

        it’s from cicada3301 in 2012 https://github.com/scream314/cicada3301/blob/master/2012.md

        the whole thing appears to be a privacy tool recuitment thing

        People who finished the 2012 round were asked a few ideological questions, such as whether they believed in freedom of information and privacy and opposed censorship, and were told to work alone. Marcus Wanner, a 2012 finalist who spoke publicly, said the group described itself as working on privacy and anti-surveillance tools, and that finalists were invited to a private forum to collaborate on projects in that direction. He said it fizzled out without much happening, at least for him.

    5-6-7-8 are sort of the same thing, just different protocols, they aren’t all that hard to connect to.

        It’s an interesting story. I had never heard of it before I ran into this guy at a flea market. He had manufactured these cool little fixed-frequency transmitters, and he said they were intended to be used with JS8CALL, being set to that 3.580 color burst frequency. I tried many times to get things working but they didn’t do anything! After SO MUCH trial and error, we determined that the JS8CALL program could not even bring up the audio interface correctly, nor send or receive any data through it. Not with these little guys, or my big HF radio which I know works reliably. Just bizarre man. I haven’t given it a go since.

          had to look up the 3.580 color burst, very interesting.

          Hmmm that sounds like a problem with the audio interfaces, maybe a adapter issue. I have used JS8call with CB radio a bunch and it worked rather flawless, but i use a external vox trigger in the adapter instead of interfacing the radio over serial.

            That’s the thing, we tried ALL the audio interfaces on the PC, even the ones that weren’t hooked up to a radio. Didn’t produce any sound! It could not open the audio device for some reason I could not determine. And it’s not like my setup is janky, I use FLDIGI, WSJT, and MMSSTV with no issues!

      Related to Meshtastic. As i understand it’s like a bunch of walkie talkies using homemade hardware, that strangers talk to each other on, but sends digital data instead of analog.

      Its a niche thing i see picking up popularity here on Lemmy. Been curious about it because I think there’s work being done to get TCP/IP working on it, which would be cool because it would be an internet without paying an ISP.

        Meshcore, like Meshtastic, is a text messaging service built on top of LoRa. In the United States, LoRa is 900MHz UHF low power radio, intended for low bandwidth telemetry. There’s an entire class of nerds using it to ask if anyone can hear them and get no reply.

        If you want TCP encrypted messaging with radio capability, check out https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum

        It’s TCP/Bluetooth/serial/HaLow/LORA, any interface that python has drivers for.

        It has messaging protocols LXMF, It has a web browser like app called NomadNet, some browsers like Columba add on LXST telephony, People have written Chat clients, Git Clients, Proxies, VPNS,

        To clear things up:

        Meshtastic is really peer to peer and dead simple, but also almost no extra features.

        Meshcore is setup to be routed. You setup mailbox server and routers and create your own backbone, good for a community and more reliable than meshtastic, but also requires more design so there’s less of a chance of talking to people if youre in a sparse area.

        Reticulum can use R-Nodes, (same hardware as meshtastic/core) but the rnodes are way less frequently found than tastic/core. (i’ve never found reticulum over radio in the wild)

        There is a messy radio issue to Meshcore, Meshtastic and Reticulum at least in the US, they’re using a very narrow band with their spread spectrum to get distance and it’s against FCC regs even in the free ISM bands.

      It’s a mesh networking protocol based on LoRa. The fact that it is in the middle of this list is kinda hilarious.
