I really ought to set up that community meshnet I keep thinking about setting up...

Oh hey, I keep thinking about doing this to and hosting a website like the old days lol, but when I search about it the biggest thing that comes up is like LoRa, but ig it's too slow for hosting internet-like services

Meshtastic is 80% geeky fun hobby, 20% preparedness, and 0% ready to facilitate anything more than simple text messages. Still neat, though.

Can be used to transfer data between app, like location pins in ATAK

That's true, but from what I've seen they haven't really been a standard in the nodes that folks are building.

Yeah, we've got some T-decks and so far it's only been a novelty and the intended purpose is just so we can text from a decent distance if infrastructure goes down. Will probably also see some occasional use camping as a backup for our radios with a T-beam attached to a bear bag up in a tree as a relay.
