They keep censoring our Internet more and more - can we not just start to work on our very own Internet based on cheap LoRa mesh modules?
500kBit/s is still enough for 4chan and IRC.
What is a LoRa mesh module ?
>>60963435
something like this
https://www.smart-prototyping.com/LoRa-SX1278-10KM-433M-long-range-wireless-module-Ra-02
It has greater range than WiFi at much lower power consumption.
We could distribute small solar powered LoRa nodes all over the country to create our own infrastructure.

let's do this!

So what's the actual purpose of this, apart of being another wireless tech

If you go with WiFi, you'll always be at the mercy of the FCC. Can you imagine what happens if they start saying you cant have free software in your router?
Lasers are the way forward. Google search 'Ronja', or laying your own wires.

>google this anime name
Wow I'm impressed at the technology that went into that.
>>60964057
LoRa is not WiFi, if by that you mean IEEE 802.11
>>60964084
Google "ronja internet" you fat fuck
>>60964057
This is really cool. I might build one, but it wouldn't serve to replace current Internet infrastructure.

surely operating open lasers is going to be tolerated much better than some radio waves!

Just don't shine them near aircraft, especially police aircraft.

Here is something interesting OP.
>>60964057
the FCC can blow me if they say I can't run free software on my router

This will never work. Turbogeeks like us that actually gave a shit about internet privacy and freedom and whatnot are too few in number to actually host a successful network let alone a stable one
The normies with their facebook and netflix are way too bandwidth-hungry, and can be convinced to pay whatever it takes to get their fix on. They'll undermine us at every turn like they've been doing since 1996 when all the timelines diverged from a single stream.
I'll just leave this here.
