Set up your own website if you haven't already, the indie web/smallnet/etc movement lately has been really cool to see and has made the internet fun again for me. Neocities is a great place to start if you need simple hosting, completely free and without ads
My most recent lil obsession/project has been to see how doable getting the start of a community mesh network going would be. I want the internet to live up to its decentralised promise but that means actually decentralising it.
I just got an OpenWrt One router to start setting it all up. I think once I get everything working well, I will try to find another nerd in town and get an antenna.
Great plan!!
I'm doing similar, I've got a router to start playing around with and I'm waiting to order another. Once I've got it working my immediate goal is free WiFi for the flats I live in with gateways through mine and my friends isp, using different lines for redundancy while figuring out how to get more people on board.
I'm in Wales but if you're nearby it would be cool to link up and discuss at somepoint
I've been seeing a lot about this stuff and I really want to get into it, seems really cool
It looks like meshtastic/meshcore is the easiest entry point depending on what has more nodes in your area, as far as I can tell it's just messaging but the barrier to entry is really low if you wanted to play around with it
