Soon. My defense is scheduled already.
What do you mean by that? In my understanding, meshtastic is just a way to send and receive information using radio waves, so it shouldn't be a problem to adapt something open source, regardless of the use of IPFS.
It's about the journey, fren.
I always assume a pleb fren is being honest.
>gradually I began to hate them
Be quick about it. The jews are getting unhinged. Next war they unleash the Samson option.

I've heard of Meshtastic, it looks interesting. It would be fantastic to have plebbit work seamlessly with radio.
One interesting aspect to consider is that the last time we attempted brainstorming about this idea, we didn't have access to advanced LLMs (it was 2022 iirc). Now, you can simply dump all plebbit-js to any LLM using the context7 MCP server, and also the Meshtastic docs via the same context7 MCP, and it should figure it all out in one go. I already added plebbit-js to it: https://context7.com/plebbit/plebbit-js

“They don’t know what the fuck they’re doing”
Wow, you're so smart goonbro. How many users will this bring to plebbit, 2 (you and your boyfriend)?
Who fucking cares holy shit
It's obviously bait and you fell for it, Mr. PhD.
Judaism?
Good luck, it sounds feasible!
when gooner sub tho
Sounds pretty cool. Does Meshtastic already have some IPFS capabilities?
does she understand per capita?
By the way, the LoRa hat in the picture is UART, which is not supported by meshtastic (you need SPI, which is faster, but this version has issues with heat). See the meshtastic website for tested pi hats that can send long messages without issues.
Plebbio was the initiative that some of us tried to brainstorm about how to make Plebbit available even without internet. The idea was to use radio waves, and how it was theoretically possible.
Well, the last few weeks I was bored and started looking more deeply into this before sleep every night.
I had a few knowledge gaps and I wanted to know what would be required.
Radio is very strict, as a civilian there are just a few things you can actually make, so the first thing was, what kind of radio can I use without a license? There are a few options, but the range is usually quite low. There was one option, tho, that started to make sense, it's Long Range (LoRa).
LoRa is basically a radio technology that can stretch for tens of km, uses basically no battery, requires minimum hardware, but has a huge drawback: data. It can only send small packages, so the only way to get it working would be with simple signals, like text-only messages... Which is exactly what plebbit is.
So LoRa could be the missing piece for plebbio, but does it work? Turns out, there are many regulations regarding LoRa gateways, which can make your device be banned if you send too much data or receives too much data. There is a limit per hour on how much you can send.
What are the alternatives? Well, if you build your own LoRa gateway, you can do some more stuff, but there are still many regulations. P2P LoRa, however, is not regulated, since it's P2P, but it would be impossible to build a network of people to work P2P... Or wouldn't it?!
Turns out, someone already did this, it's a mesh network built on LoRa called Meshtastic. It's almost everywhere in the US as I saw their map, so it could actually work. Other countries don't have a network as well built as the US, but the setup is pretty simple, cheap, and requires no kind of license since it's all P2P. So building a meshtastic transport and adding a LoRa hat to a phone is enough to get plebbit without internet.
I'll look more into this in the next few months, since I'm finishing some stuff, but I think it might be the missing piece in the plebbio puzzle.
Hey there. PH here, it's been a while but I'm always around. Like you, I held from launch and I'm still holding to this day. I see your frustration, but the app actually came a long way from what it was on launch. Mass adoption of anything that is p2p is unlikely, but there will always be people willing to be free from censorship. Just see people that use meshtastic and their network, for example. It is niche, but it has its public. Plebbit is kind the same. If you need the money and you want to sell, I understand. If you don't need the money, I don't see why leave the project at this point, since you held from the very beginning. Also, even if you sell, check the app again from time to time. If it comes a time you think this is useful, let us know. Also, this kind of technology is not sought during times of peace and stability. Once things start to go in a bad direction and fast, that's when you'll see this shining.
I don't think they hate them. I think they don't give a shit.
This is actually one of the things woman do socially to men I think is actually a good thing.
This guy is coming into a live chat where people are probably just goofing around trying to have a good time and he is probably doing this awkward game that in many ways is somewhat anti-social. Woman clown people that do this. It is very similar if you go to a bar in the sticks and try to start acting like a metro sexual. To them it is just weird and they don't care. They are on some other shit.
I saw a post about this awhile back talking about how it is based on freuds methodologies which encourages you to repeatedly talk about your trauma which makes you look back repeatedly over and over again rather than getting you to look forward and face new challenges that encourages a healthy mindset. I guess this during the birth of the field. Worth researching I guess if you are into this topic.
Plebbit doesn't give a fuck about dropping 90% from ATH, since it can recover that in a matter of days.
Decentralization is the future. Sometimes we forget. Sometimes we fall prey to fear, but our faith in decentralization, will always be rewarded.
