Yes, probably have that old gear somewhere still. 2.4Ghz and OpenMesh firmware. It got a bit weathered corroded and got obsoleted by mobile data. But still plenty of need for #nearlynet - especially for disaster resilience- eg power or fibre goes down.

Hey @MeshnetNZ - remember that #nearlynet cache to assist not having a WiFi iPod (Mesh|Pod). - 15 years ago.
Got solar panel to supplement batteries đȘ« & it could run most the day, but usually fell over at night (or on a windy day when its tree based mount would move too much)

Really pimping those agentic skills. Only 358 connectors left, but most of them are $BIGTECH #enshittification so I got @MeshnetNZ to host some endpoints for #tinyNature to scrobble from and connect all the things and it's fun to have my ears connected to an #agentic AI via @NaturaAI #HumanPods (even if #NZNOG doesn't want my new SOC2 / OAuth'd connectivity methods)

tinyNature is now connected to my Twitter. Let's see what trouble we can get into. đ€

We remember the internet back in the day - there were no âsafeguardsâ to knowledge and we all turned out fine, right?
#DeepSeekR1 appears to have no safeguardsâŠ

Mesh|net used to provide an open, unfiltered WiFi in Central Station. Was part of @JoMangeeâs contracted terms to have an âunmanaged deviceâ but it was air gapped and we provided encrypted USBs that needed enterprise auth and logging. @centralcomms đđŒ

Multihoming with diverse paths helps - failed back to bonded 5G from two providers and carried on.

Yes, running two modems non stop was all the internet you needed for a neighbourhood. Worked until #realtime auction sites like TradeMe needed internet now, rather than podcasts and archives and software content from a cache.

âŠso you could still answer the phone and have a 20-30s call before the modem lost its carrier and disconnected. #nearlynet - we could pull about 15-17GB a month for <$5 over a local phone call to Clearnet or Zfree #ISPs - was the start of @MeshnetNZ - download content for others

Even anonymized âvehicle-to-everythingâ (V2X) data can be filtered or hacked, potentially providing a gold mine for advertisers, police or criminals. âOnce that data is out there, people will find ways to use it,â EFFâs Cliff Braun told Marketplace. marketplace.org/2024/08/20/dâŠ

It's been twenty years and there are still no clear boundaries on behavior like this. No one charged with looking out for users' interests save public interest-minded folks to discover some of what even mainstream apps are doing. (TikTok has over a billion monthly active users!)

Any web page that specifies a target frame on a href link effectively owns that resulting tab and can do all sorts. Check out #BeEF - The Browser Exploitation Framework - and look back at 20 years of #webdev - some devs havenât forgotten that noscript foo either.

Weâve outgrown âjoyâ so moving over to a new more joyful server.
You should have an email with the new host details - but do yell out if anything isnât working following the migration from 08:30 on 6th June.
Hardcoded DNS and other server based or IP based things may break đ

A couple of users had custom scripts with hard coded paths â Youâll note ~/home is now on /root/home2/ on the server. Building some flexibility into the system.
