:blobcatbusiness: Reticulum is a fundamental re-imagining of what the internet can be, and a redefining of what many mesh networks are capable of. At its most basic it transports data like the internet has been doing for decades, but to leave it at that would be doing it a great disservice.

With Reticulum, anyone can make and join almost entirely self-organizing networks that work without any central authority. Networks can combine into a single larger network and networks can split apart into multiple smaller ones; as long as there is a path, Reticulum can form a connection.

Adequate initiator anonymity and strong per-packet encryption are required for multi-hop communication, and Reticulum is a peer-to-peer network so devices can directly connect to each other, securely and end-to-end.

Reticulum is versatile enough to connect over almost anything you can think of simultaneously; that includes things like LoRa, serial, and packet radio. Networks can grow to a truly global scale if built out properly, and Reticulum is designed to cope with extreme network topology and bandwidth differences almost entirely automatically.

There is already a surprisingly strong community building projects with Reticulum and its native formats and standards, though it is still in beta and not ready for production... yet ;)

Yes, I finally rewrote the intro of my Reticulum essay: linuxinabit.codeberg.page/blog

My husband requested a circuit board design for this t-shirt, in green, of course. I didn’t have quite enough of the main fabric left to cut out the front and back in whole pieces. There was a big chunk missing at the shoulder. So I asked my husband if circuits ever had a reason for two of them to be joined together, so I could fill in the space, and he said sure. When circuit boards are fabricated, the machines make a whole panel of them at a time and they’re connected together with lines of perforation, called mouse bites, so they can later be snapped apart into separate pieces. So that’s how I filled in the gaps at the corners with scrap fabric to make them look intentional.

Mostly 100% cotton jersey, cotton and polyester thread, gold acrylic paint

Call #Weird, call me SuperNerd, call me #nerd but I really enjoy doing this. Maybe it’s the #Learning, maybe it’s the #Fun, or maybe I’m a little more #Nerdy than I thought, but building out my #Homelab starting with #PiHole and working from there has been a wonderful experience. The documentation process has also been enjoyable; maybe it’s because it shows my work and what I’ve done as an #accomplishment

Stay tuned for more updates! 😁😁

Oops! The MXP01 (Italy) peer had some fuck ups, followed by some insane traffic f*ckups at 3AM & 6AM on the other instances.

Rule Nr. 1: Even changing a single character can result in f*ckups. Always test!
