@andypiper It’s a compelling idea but I vaguely understand meshtastic to be pretty unsuited to that use case, because it congests itself without really spreading messages (limited hop count) in locally dense areas - I might be very wrong though!

@andypiper yes I wonder how that would work. This thing looks cool though.

@andypiper@macaw.social Ich behaupte, das bedeutet. dass das Beagleboard mit Meshtastic kommunizieren kann und dass das Beagleboard mit Mastodon kommunizieren kann. Eine Bridge zwischen beiden ist damit wohl nicht gemeint. Mesh-Tastic erlaubt Nachrichten bis ungefähr 180 Zeichen. Mastodon Posts enthalten neben dem Inhalt des Posts immer auch das Profil des Absenders. Das sind mehrere Kilobyte. Und das alles ist in JSON gepackt.

@hughrawlinson@mastodon.xyz @andypiper@macaw.social You could use riticulum or sideband instead of meshtastic with Lora.

@andypiper ActivityPub *over* Meshtastic? I'm intrigued to see how this could possibly work without them somehow running the TCP/IP stack over Meshtastic and inventing adapted versions of DNS and TLS.

@andypiper haha. I opened the toot telling myself "i have to poke @_elena on this one" but you are too fast

@andypiper AP is so chatty I have no idea how this would work.

… like many of you, I’m curious about this (and the sentence I quoted is directly from the linked page). The only solution is for the #Beagleboard folks to send me a badge so I can fully research it
