RAK4631 have a 32MB flash extension (5$) and also a microSD reader (5$ as well). so again: thinking in terms of "the devices we got used to" or "the devices being sold today" (even omitting these extensions) is just limiting when it comes to imagining what can be done with technology that is at its infancy, and already offers 100x more possibilities than what exists and/or is currently being experimented with.
think of _all the computers that are less than 30 years old_. think of _all the "phones" that can be turned into Nura devices_, all the _routers_ that can get a RNS instance and number of interfaces. does it help?

from what i see (i am no meshcore expert), there is no evidence whatsoerver that a lora-only network could cover a dense urban environment at more than say 1 out of 1000 person, or maybe 1 out of 100..
also from what i see, people who are experienced with meshtastic/ore are prompt to comment on reticulum, even if almost nothing has been experimented yet with it.
also, as a bias it feels like everyone and _especially_ people experienced with meshtastic/ore would consider anything like "a big lora-only network" (and would compare so they can argue).
the promise of #reticulum is vastly different than that. almost opposite!

..reinforces my intuition that vibe-code is like fast-food:
🔥 wasteful, hurts ecosystems and people
💗 not best solution to remain healthy, better options exist that require to learn skills and work can be shared, mutualized and lead to personal enjoyment
💰 controlled by few actors, relies on huge-scale economies
🤤 makes people who use it lose sense of what is actually food/code
📺 a socio-cultural trend dictated by marketing and fashion
#LLM seem to already have durably changed habits; we'll see how much of it was hype when prices get real, bubble collapses etc.
🗑️ i think a lot of that #fast-code will end up -as fast as it was produced- as abandonware.

I said already that I love #Reticulum.. yet i just thought of it this way:
As Reticulum is transport agnostic (a node connects through many "interfaces": local wifi, BLE, lora radio, UHF, FM radio, etc. _and_ TCPClient interfaces), the fact one can actually use _internet_ is the 🐘 in the room (most ppl probably do connect to reticulum via internet today?) and also an amazing feature:
1/ it enables super-easy onboarding. basically install an app, some will add TCPClient interface for you, and voila.
2/ it enables to test features, routing, new protocols and ideas at large-scale, while learning how everything works, and becoming ready for the next thing.

le spreading factor de 8 est une recommendation vraiment hmm "bizarre", car elle revient en pratique à quelque chose comme 2kbps... pourquoi ce choix? "parce que" selon l'auteur de ce post, et c'est tout...
Or, et c'est bien l'intêrêt de lora, ces paramètres sont mutables pour une bonne raison: pour s'adapter à des situations diverses...
SF=8 peut faire sens dans des zones très peu peuplées ou il est indispensable d'aller plus loin que vite... mais en ville par exemple, c'est ridicule. A Berlin par exemple, les radio-nerds-du-Chaos ont élaboré un consensus jusque SF=7

quelles fréquences utilisez-vous par chez-toi, et comment/pourquoi? (je m'intéresse à ces consensus, durs ou mous, par lesquels les frequences et paramètres lora sont déterminés...)
je me dis aussi: il pourrait être utile de détecter des nœuds meshatasticore autour de chez soi.... pour ouvrir avec elleux la discussion sur l'opportunité de leur adjoindre (ou de les convertir en...) nœuds #reticulum!
