Reticulum VS wrolpi

I would very much recommend using https://reticulum.network/ instead (warning: rabbit hole)

https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum/tree/6ded42edd7ae203e...

I am struggling to understand who the overlap between people who can accurately assess the risk of each of these implementations and correctly find them ok (graduate level cryptography?) and people who cannot get pyca or openssl to compile is.

For offline operation maybe a case could be made that timing side channels aren't an issue in practice, but this is explicitly network software.

There is a similar thread up here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41253922

The author of this blog post is the developer of Reticulum, which is a complete network stack and full-fledged alternative to TCP/IP. (https://reticulum.network/). Reticulum is capable of operating over not just LoRa, but bluetooth low energy, standard WiFi, Packet Radio, and overlay networks like Tor and I2P.

This is worth a look as works over packet radio.

I would create a mesh wifi. (similar https://reticulum.network/, tox https://github.com/TokTok/c-toxcore etc)

Any views/comparison reagarding freakwan versus reticulum https://github.com/markqvist/Reticulum ?

I have a similar project to what you describe, might be a bit overkill compared to MeTube.

https://wrolpi.org/

The project website: https://wrolpi.org

can you make a local copy of it? offline wiki, https://github.com/lrnselfreliance/wrolpi, music/movies...etc

I thought about creating one of these in the past, but it didn’t fit my needs. I decided to start my own project, called WROLPi. It also uses a Raspbery pi as its base, but also has a Debian installer. I have RPi images available at https://wrolpi.org as well as a link to a demo (the demo needs an update, lots of new features since it’s creation).

The basic premise of WROLPi is creating your own off grid digital library: videos, web archives, PDFs, ebooks, etc. I have full text search for all of these. Offline maps as well via Open Street Map. Wi-Fi hotspot. Automatic downloads of videos (entire channels), RSS feeds, etc.

Look into Internet in a box or WROLpi as ways to serve the content. (A cookie to anyone who writes a howto on getting them both running on the same box; they have some overlap but serve different needs.)

Creator here, I have pre-built images for Raspberry Pi available at https://wrolpi.org if you are interested.

did i post this to you last time?

etc etc

also, check out wrolpi

https://wrolpi.org/ Been having a great time on my side-project WROLPi. Its preparedness-oriented software which allows you to create an offline library. Videos, web archives, maps, epub/pdf, etc. Really easy search, low power usage if you run on in a Raspberry Pi. Just put out the first Raspberry Pi image, which makes installation super simple. Hoping to get a Debian image soon.

Currently "videos" is pretty well flushed out. Still some work to do with web archives. Maps has been a huge headache simply because maps are so large. Got PDFs and EPUBs searchable recently.

An abbreviated list of the technologies I've used to built it: Python, ReactJS, Open Street Map, yt-dlp (videos), SingleFile (web archives).
