    Meshtastic device firmware (by meshtastic)

  • The guy who turned me onto it pointed me to https://meshtastic.org/. The idea is simple enough, but the implementation is anything but, unfortunately. There aren't a lot of developers working on it. It's under-the-radar at the moment, but if enough people expressed interest and started working on it, it could be an entirely separate communications system. In a disaster situation, or in a situation where the people who control the traditional modes of communication decide to shut you off, for whatever reason, it could be a lifeline.
