A set of radio devices and technologies are opening the doorway to new and revolutionary forms of communication. These have the potential to break down the
over-reliance on traditional network hierarchies, and present collaborative alternatives where resistance to censorship, control and surveillance are baked into the network topography itself. Here, we look at a few of these technologies
and what they might mean for the future of networked communications.

The idea of what is broadly referred to as mesh networking isnrCOt new: the resilience and scalability of mesh technology has seen it adopted in router and IoT protocols for decades. WhatrCOs new is cheap devices that can be used without
a radio license to communicate over (relatively) large distances, or LOng RAnge,
thus the moniker LoRa.

Reads like an ordinary newspaper article. The author has not tried it
out nor did he show a working set-up with recommended hardware.

EFF is not a good source.

I tried nomadnet, but the UI it's still really. Not because it's a TUI,
I've used several better interfaces in terminals, but the tool it's slow,
no one respects an 80x25 interface (not even a 100x40 one), making them
useless on older systems where the *readable* font for a terminal
emulator must be apt to fit under 100 columns or less.
Also, people seems to abuse the Nerd font, one of the shittiest
creations ever among webdings and windings under Windows.
Where's Unicode then? GNU Unifont will work everywhere.
Also, the CPU usage, it might be related due to a lacking PyCA under
i686 OpenBSD machines.

Overall, it could be better with a bit of polishment (and maybe
a further port to Golang).
