That was the thing that made me think reticulum was worth pursuing actually. It does work over a lot of stuff besides lora. You can mesh WiFi routers or other protocols. The issue is bandwidth ota since so much is dedicated to commercial stuff, but you can route reticulum over that including through i2p for anonymity. Meshtastic very much focuses on lora only, reticulum does not.

Interesting. The only thing that really surprised me was the time zone thing. Can I hide that somehow?

the term “Custom ROM” is outdated and technically inaccurate

Why do you say that?

Why settle? Software is a continually evolving ecosystem and grafting yourself to a certain distribution model or distribution team doesn’t really make sense when you consider that. Some distribution might have the best things for you, today. Tomorrow, another may come along and do it better, or your current distribution may shift to not be to your liking anymore. Be flexible, but don’t change for the sake of change. Change for a good reason.

Too poor to afford the theater but everyone’s talking about the latest movie.

That user might be in the slim minority but they do exist and I appreciate them taking that into account and taking seriously the security of people who aren’t super technical.

I don’t really know how popular that movie is with people who aren’t into subvertising… I don’t think it’s very popular, I don’t know if people will get the reference.
