Hello fellow nerds!!

I want a Meshtastic thing with a solar panel and a battery, that's weatherproof, and that requires minimal know-how for set-up, because although I am a nerd I am not an electronics/software nerd.

Can I buy something like that ready-made? I am in the UK but I am happy to buy from overseas. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I am buying my first LoRa device.

Following the insightful buying guide by LocalMesh Netherlands, I am thinking I will go for LYLYGO T-Echo Plus. I would like to buy it from the official website, where it costs ~54€.

What do you think?

#LoRa #Meshtastic #Meshcore #MeshNet #MeshNetworks #radio #Netherlands #LocalMesh

Buy MeshCore Devices | LoRa Radios

LoRa radio devices for MeshCore in the Netherlands: Heltec V3, LilyGO T-Beam and more. Starting at €45. 868 MHz devices for Europe. View all options.

as we wind further into fascism, a gentle reminder to consider #meshtastic, a decentralized and encrypted mesh network. Rn from my apartment the most distant folks I can see are about 200 miles away with like $50 of equipment

Connect to existing communities and organizations - churches, mutual aid groups, activist groups. Follow networks of trust. Who have you seen showing up before? Who acts in ways you admire?

There are so many ways to help if you find the right groups to plug in with. Some examples from my neighborhood:

- going on neighborhood strolls in at risk areas
- food, diaper, etc distribution
- grabbing food or drink at a restsurants suffering because they serve immigrant clientele who can't come out

@shauna Communication is also very important.

Literally everyone should be mass-ordering SEEED Studio T1000-E, installing #meshtastic, and the more tech savvy should be putting solar nodes (SEEED and RAKwirelesa prebuilt solar nodes) as high as possible with that or #meshcore.

With an app you can communicate to aid groups and coordinate without internet or SMS

When Iran cut off the internet a week ago, >5000 civilians were murdered by government forces with no information getting out.
