   So I’ve been experimenting with LoRa and meshtastic. https://meshtastic.org and I have some ideas on how to use it as a neighbourhood sensor and chat network. Inline with my thoughts on decentralising (power) grids. But also for generic neighbourhood chats that by definition stay local. Lots of opportunities to explore. Next: a cheap, solar powered Meshtastic node that you can just throw in trees etc. LoRAnarchy ;)

     So instead of positioning LoRa the „traditional“ way — a solution for off-grid, remote areas — I want to explore its potential as a kind of „whisper network“ for neighbourhoods, local communities. In densely populated areas. With the very low bandwidth as a feature, not a bug.
