So in the US, mesh is on the ISM 902-928 mhz band and is unlicensed. It has both a power and bandwidth restriction (26mhz) compaired other mode to prevent harmful interference to other users.

We can look at CB Single Sideband (SSB) that you can split the audio into two different “sides” and have operators transmiting on upper and lower without interfering with another.

Tl;dr too nerdy: Techincally yes, you can use voice over mesh and a lot of amateur radio operators transmit voice over 900 into the giga bands sucessfully. All Meshtastic is, is a two way radio.

I believe the reason it’s only text based is due to collision. Irrc last year’s Ham Fest Mesh crashed due to too many users on the “network”. It’s been patched since then and everyone uses (mid short? I cant remember atm) a different mode now.

I guess how would be the source of transmission be? All of those I listed have sort of a mesh/peer to peer community. The difference is inoperability.

With 10m BBS i can get really far due to antenna and how large the radio wave is. On the flipside Meshtastic (which is 915 mhz US band and 400 in Euro I believe) has a tiny antenna, way less range,however you have less interference from other stations or space weather.

With conventional internet (cable, dial up, satilite) we have peer to peer, which is close to mesh networking (freenet, torrants, file sharing sites, Zeronet).

I’m only scratching the surface here.

Do you mean through radio waves like APRS, 10m BBS, or HAMNET? Interent though peer to peer like Freenet (Hyphanet)? Or solely through Mesh like MeshBBS?

I think the issue with running through Mesh is bandwith and range. Look how “limited” APRS or 10m BBS is (I know FCC band requirements and what not)

That and free random stuff.

I just wanted to point out that it’s not dead dead (well a lot of traffic died after they took personals off lol )

I sold my motorcycle 3 years ago and had at least 10 offers on it.

I’ll check CL every so often

I do miss the PSP. It was my “cellphone” as I had a talk only limited plan with my family. I would use it like the old Ipod, downloading music and videos to show my friends. I even downloaded fake Win7 to play on the browser. We would use Skype and talk over the internet since it was free.

I do miss spending all summer with my best friend Joe and my younger brother playing MPO(+) and Peace Walker, which we all sank 200+ hours into. We would then team up as a hunting party in MHFU, killing monsters over and over.

The demo and free game scene was great! I played tons of demos, discovering many solid titles: Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This? Pixlejunk Monsters, Patapon, LocoRoco. I didn’t even get to dive into the homebrew scene either.

To wrap up a school night, I would sure the internet with it (and then eventually connect it to the PS3 to game or surf the web since it was faster than the PSP browser) watching South Park.

Man, I miss handheld gaming (mobile gaming doesn’t count) and the Switch/2 doesn’t get that itch that the PSP and DS fixed.

Of course! 😁 I would never use my real name unless somehow I get stupid famous and paid by a studio

I do lol

It’s like Reddit. No one searches and just assumes everyone “works for them”

I mostly post nsfw on it, but since migrating to Mastodon and Bluesky, I get way more traction there.

X is completely fill with spam! I get 5+ spam PM daily
