I had a lot of hope for reticulum, but it's a one man project with a near burned out maintainer, taking on an absolutely monstrous task.
I'm now cautiously optimistic. This or something similar is likely the long term future of mesh networks, but in the short to medium term, meshcore is the way to go.
> Reticulum does not use source addresses. No packets transmitted include information about the address, place, machine or person they originated from.
Sure, but if it’s anything like MeshCore, a few observer nodes will be able to see which repeaters the message first entered the network from and from that know roughly where it was located.
With the Artificial Inanity systems and the Rampant Orphan Botnet Ecologies (ROBE) beginning to spew tremendous amounts of crap (a technical term) onto the Ret, things are getting tricky for us ITA.
People don't seem to get this was a genuine question. What is a network without people using it? Anyone here on reticulum?
The internet may be ripe for disruption, as it has been domesticated for corporate use. It is no longer ours. Browsers have become an operating system unto themselves. Something much simpler would work also. Corporate bloat is continuing to pile up, while markdown evolves to do everything we want.

reticulum don't just propagate over lora. IT can practically propagate over anything it supports (network, lora, bluetooth, etc).
it isn’t
Unfortunately whenever I see the name, I am always reminded of part of the anatomy
it'd be nice to see a comparison to rayfish.xyz
It has nothing to do with that, like at all.
Not in a technical sense, no. But at a high level, in spirit, I can see some overlap.
Maybe a better comparison is iroh.computer
No published specification, single Python implementation. Shame, as this solves a problem that badly needs to be solved well.
Was also the name of the internet in Neal Stephenson's Anathem.
Yes it is.

One of my favorite books that I have yet to convince any of my friends to read. So many cool ideas explored.
The resistance is out there somewhere?

> Anyone here on reticulum?
Is that even the right question?
I only read the intro message but the framing I arrived/guessed at was:
"open, distributed alternative to tailscale"
So I think my first usecase would be to use this instead of tailscale to connect to my Pi?
