Heyyy what's wrong with novel groupwise?

Besides the novel/different form of addressing Reticulum pretty much imposes its Zen on users. So in a lot of things where Reticulum is quite dogmatic, something like Iroh I'd assume (if it's reaching corporates) would provide more flexibility. I haven't checked out the source though.

As an example, AFAIK, Reticulum encrypts packet origin, so only recipient can see them. I don't think this is admissible in a corporate network.

Fair enough and apologies. Justified or not, I took the comment I was replying to out of context of the current (MeshCore, LoRa) topic.

I was referring to the TCP/IP, I2P and yggdrasil endpoints. And regardless, "tons" was an unnecessary exaggeration.

There's a maturing implementation of the whole stack in go, so this is not far off.

There are tons of entry points available now [0], and I get thousands of announcements every day.

It's so much fun with little pages, message boards and random people hitting you up for a chat. I brought up my own transport node and propagation node too to contribute to the mesh.

You're obviously trolling. Those are called "truths", and you know it!

If they don't want to push down the prices with excess supply, they'd have to sell very slowly. Like France did.

OMG, is this the reason why every other installer would get stuck at 99% forever? :D

We're discussing the quality of screening here, not the act/necessity of screening itself.

There is a thing about many people. I don't remember the phenomenon's name, if it has one, but it goes like this:

Given enough time to reconsider options, people will be endlessly flip-flopping between them grabbing onto various features over and over in a loop.

Meta is like one giant cancer that grew a few small tumors of benign[1] nature, like some of their efforts in open source and open research (React, Llama, etc.).

[1]: I could be wrong thinking those are benign.

Why? Multiple times in the last 8 or so years I've considered both Nokia (HMD) and Motorola. Looking at reviews and specs I decided every time in favor of Motorola, despite liking the design of Nokia's more, and didn't regret it.

New comment by forkerenok in "Evanston orders Flock to remove reinstalled cameras"

forkerenok — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 08:15:47 +0000

> This decision came after Illinois Secretary of State [...] discovered that Flock had allowed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to access Illinois cameras in a “pilot program” against state law, and after the RoundTable reported in June that out-of-state law enforcement agencies were able to search Flock’s data for assistance in immigration cases.

This illustrates the textbook argument for why mass surveillance is bad: these tools can quickly end up in the wrong hands.

Play silly games, win silly prizes.

Ironic indeed.

The incident reconstruction video a bit further down the article is well done:
