Recently we've seen also the new options using Mesh networks with LoRa devices, that can connect P2P multiple relays and create an ad-hoc network, that needs only a single point connected to the rest of the internet.

LoRa seems like a pretty nice piece of tech. I imagine that in a small community, having a couple of devices and someone serving as their Uncle Jim (for the internet) would help in solving the accessibility problem in so many developing countries.

I admit LoRa is intriguing to my sometimes suppressed "doomsday prepper" tendencies. I haven't taken action (yet)

From what I've read about it, you really should have an elevated position to use it effectively. Like a line-of-sight kind of thing.

I live in a ground level apartment that is surrounded by hills, so there's very little to no chance of LoRa working well from where I'm at now.

I'm thinking it might be time to find a new place to live soon.

If anyone wants to move somewhere that's cheaper rent, and split a place in a roommate situation, hit me up. I can move anywhere in the US.

Don't suppress the "doomsday prepper" inside you. Let it out, let it go.
