IIRC all devices would update according to firmware, so I believe it’s 30 minute updates. You can change that to much faster timeframes before chirps are sent out, but that will begin to drain battery life. (Can also manually request position and request updates in app)

If you’re concerned about battery life stay away from ESP32 devices and look strictly at nRF52840 devices, from RAKwireless and soon LILYGO/Heltec as well.

I personally haven’t used them for this use case, mine are primarily being setup as solar repeaters to build a local emergency mesh network. But I’ve seen some very neat use cases for Meshtastic so I’m curious if this could work!

Good luck :)

Nope, the Terrorist supporting Squad. Deus Vult brother.

Thanks for the post OP, updating my VaultWarden docker instance ASAP.

It’s achievable by any frequency supported by Meshtastic. The average range you can expect, with good LoS, is between that 5-10km range.

However, if you have different circumstances you can expect less or even far above the average.

The range test article above shows the current record for a successful ping/chirp to another node (Point to Point, no additional hops). It’s at 254km currently :)

The two points I can agree with here are redirecting traffic to their website and the lack of some context before doing so.

I don’t have an issue with OP posting about this frequently, but to be fair if you’re doing it to farm traffic to your own website with the most minimal effort involved possible then it becomes an issue.

OP should definitely at least put some effort into this going forward.

Is there a set “tipping point” in this community? Or are we back to arbitrary rules like Reddit?

It’s technology related and OP is eager to share, again you really don’t have to click on the link or look at this post if it bothers you.

Add another casualty to the list:

Bingo, and sadly it’ll probably work to distract the majority of people away from that underlying issue.

100%. They’ll be gone soon enough.

I don’t understand your comment. This IS technology, thus it’s perfectly fine to post here. You don’t need to click on it or view it.

And I can appreciate OP wanting to share a new concept or idea, or promoting this project further as it’s interesting imo.

Lol, I still remember this scene. Damn, super troopers was such a good movie, still is.

I’ll second what the person above said, this is incredibly cool.

I mean they’re close enough, and fajitas are definitely great. I can’t blame you for making that connection.

100%. Make sure to follow the 3-2-1 backup rule with all things you do.

+1 for a self-hosted Vaultwarden instance. If you’re technically capable and have extra hardware laying around this is the best way to go.

He IS the Chosen One after all, he would know right? /s

I’ll second this. Prometheus + Grafana is what I’m using now, but you can definitely add more extensions/monitors to get far more detail, like Loki which was suggested above.

Lots of conversation around if Moore’s law is still valid in this day and age but it’s held true for decades now.

IIRC Moore himself said it would be obsolete within 10 years back in 2015, but it still seems relevant today. James Powell also calculated it would be obsolete sometime in the 2030s. So there’s still plenty of time ahead if that holds true.

These extremists don’t care about international law, or established laws. Apparently the only laws they respect anymore are the one they make themselves.

Gotta love the Supreme Court nowadays… if you want to change the rules just cozy up to them and ask them to do it for you.
