muesliGot to admit, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MeshCore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MeshCore</a> feels so much nicer than <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meshtastic</a> already!Visible advertisement paths, defined routing, a better acknowledgement system, less glitchy UX. There's a lot to like!Wish the Android client was open-source, but the firmware and protocol are open so I'm sure there will be alternatives in no time.

nullagentLoRa is so lit.Meshtastic lets me hear everything in about my county and a little more.But meshcore? We have basically an IRC channel from Portland to Vancouver over lora.The connection to Portland is very flaky but its pretty cool to get traffic back and forth to Canada no problem.<a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/meshcore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshcore</a> <a href="https://partyon.xyz/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshtastic</a>

Thilly Gooth<a href="https://mastodon.social/@fribbledom" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@fribbledom</a> I just converted all of my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshtastic</a> devices to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/meshcore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshcore</a>. After doing some testing around my neighborhood, I could not reliably get a message delivered just a few blocks away with Meshtastic. Meshcore worked every single time. That's with a solar repeater being up about 30'. The only downside is I have the only repeater in the area so it's pretty limited but I expect Meshcore to expand rapidly as word spreads and people become more frustrated with Meshtastic.

muesli<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meshtastic</a>'s state management seems so utterly broken, I'm kinda ready to ditch it for something else.Is there anyone here who has already played with <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MeshCore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MeshCore</a> and can make a comparison?

DO5DR<a href="https://hub.uckermark.social/@maxheadroom" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@maxheadroom</a> But why does the documentation sound like "mesh" stuff.I can't find a sentence in the docs which says "it's actually not a mesh at all".Because even with the use of repeaters 2 clusters where the nodes inside can *only* talk directly to each other and which need a dedicated commonly shared repeater to connect the 2 clusters would also not need all this a hop counter stuff because it would never be more than 2 hops anyway.It all doesn't make sense to me.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MeshCore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MeshCore</a>

Qapy 🦋<a href="https://hub.uckermark.social/@maxheadroom" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@maxheadroom</a> You are right, except that <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/meshcore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshcore</a> will not be as populat as MT; I would say, wait for it. Everywhere, people build great infrastructure right now. It is in fact for a different usecase: a scalable network that can handle lots of traffic.So the things you describe are all true. But they are not downsides. On the contrary, they fix the design flaws created by MT. This paradigm breaks with MT ways if doing things, but those didn't work that well, so its not a loss...

Uckermark MacGyver :nonazi:Was reading up on <a href="https://hub.uckermark.social/tags/MeshCore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MeshCore</a> and starting to think it will not be as popular as <a href="https://hub.uckermark.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshtastic</a> because of their choice of routing behaviour. By default as a user you'd have a normal client node. You can message with other client nodes within Radio distance (nodes whose radio signal you can receive directly). If you can't "hear" their signal, you can't talk to them unless there is an explicit repeater node that both of you can receive. The other clients WILL NOT FORWARD your message. This not really forming a mesh out of pure clients. You have to have explicit repeaters to form a mesh. In <a href="https://hub.uckermark.social/tags/meshtastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#meshtastic</a> every client by default forwards messages and this expands the mesh network. Yes, that leads to noise in areas with lots of nodes. But this is probably anyway not the preferred environment for Meshtastic.

Falko<a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/weeklyreview/" target="_blank">#weeklyreview</a> 36/2025Summer camp IPicked up kiddo from here WWF summer camp. She was happy. That’s most important. And she voluntarily gave me her smartphone and headphones when I delivered her the other week. So she really did a week of digital detox and like it. The weather was mostly good with just a few days of occasional rain. They did a lot of kayaking and hiking in the forests. Learned to read animal traces and crafted a bunch of stuff from natural materials. Summer camp IIThe other kiddo biked with the WWF team along the river Oder all the way up to Szczecin. Thats where I had to fetch him and bring him back to Berlin. Including my bike. And because he’s a newly discovered social animal he asked whether we can take two other participants with us back to Berlin. I don’t fully understand the physics of these Thule bike mounts for the tow hook. But it worked with three bikes. <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/project25/" target="_blank">#project25</a> updateFixed the garden faucets. Basically replaced the two old faucets with new ones. The old ones were leaking and couldn’t be fully closed anymore. So I bought two new ones and replaced them. Now we have water outside the house. While rummaging around the garden I also found what looks like to be the old well. Will see whether that still has water. Webcam TemplinThe town got a live stream webcam now. Mounted on the tower of the Maria Magdalenen Kirch.

First thought it to be a bald eagle. Although a little too small. Asked my friend who actually raises eagles in our area here. He told me it’s “just” a red kite. And my friend @gemlog told me that apparently in the us the call of the bald eagle is often dubbed with that of the red kite. Because the <a href="https://xeno-canto.org/893195" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">bald eagle’s call</a> doesn’t really sound bold :D. The <a href="https://www.british-birdsongs.uk/red-kite/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">red kite’s call</a> is what most of us probably associate with a bald eagle.MeshcorePlayed around with <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/meshcore/" target="_blank">#Meshcore</a> this week. <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/meshtastic/" target="_blank">#Meshtastic</a> and Meshcore represent two distinct approaches to LoRa mesh networking, each offering unique advantages for off-grid communication. While both platforms enable long-range, decentralized messaging without cellular infrastructure, their architectural differences and security models create important trade-offs for users.Flashing the Meshcore firmware onto my Lilygo T-Echo and a Heltec V3 board was straightforward using their <a href="https://flasher.meshcore.co.uk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">web flasher</a>. Core Architectural Differences<a href="https://meshtastic.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Meshtastic</a> operates as a true mesh network where every client device can route traffic for others, creating flexible communication paths through multiple hops. This approach maximizes coverage and connectivity but generates more network traffic as messages flood through the mesh. Meshtastic prioritizes accessibility with its open-source model, extensive community support, and user-friendly apps across platforms.<a href="http://meshcore.co.uk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Meshcore</a>, by contrast, employs a more controlled architecture requiring dedicated repeater nodes for routing while limiting client-to-client communication to direct radio range. This design reduces network congestion and provides more predictable message delivery, but requires strategic repeater placement for optimal coverage. Meshcore emphasizes lightweight implementation and precise control over message routing and delivery confirmation.Recent security research has exposed several critical vulnerabilities in Meshtastic that have heightened interest in alternatives like Meshcore. The most severe flaw, <a href="https://cyberpress.org/severe-meshtastic-flaw/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">CVE-2025-52464</a> with a CVSS score of 9.5, affected devices running firmware versions 2.5.0 through 2.6.10. This vulnerability stemmed from duplicated X25519 public/private key pairs and insufficient entropy during key generation.Eventually I switched my device back to Meshtastic as there doesn’t seem to be any neighbouring nodes in my area. For Meshtastic I could at least find one in Templin.Debian Trixie Update Updated my old trusty Lenovo X220 to Debian 13 – Trixie. Also played around with different desktop managers and settled on MATE. Tested “Tuba” Fediverse client and was surprised that it even handled the quirky Pixelfed Login properly. Pixelfed updatespeaking of the devil …. this week a new Pixelfed release and my automatic container update via Watchtower damaged <a href="https://pxl.mxhdr.net" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">my Pixelfed</a> instance. This was expected as Pixelfed is really a total mess to self-host. Again I had to manually intervene and trigger the database migrations manually to upgrade to the latest version and get my instance back working.Now the Story feature works properly (from what I can tell) in the web interface and the native app on iOS. <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/meshcore/" target="_blank">#Meshcore</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/meshtastic/" target="_blank">#meshtastic</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/project25/" target="_blank">#project25</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/uckermark/" target="_blank">#Uckermark</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/weekly/" target="_blank">#weekly</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://falko.zurell.de/tag/weeklyreview/" target="_blank">#weeklyreview</a>
