That’s exactly the reason why I made it only work with user-defined aliases. That way it forces you to think of how to cover the most ground command-wise without needing anything interactive or too much response data. It’s slow but it’s functional and that’s really all I wanted from it. I can have scripts on my server that fix things and just invoke them with this.
They’re encrypted with a PSK encrypted with either AES128 or AES256. It’s built into the Meshtastic firmware so that’s not something I have to handle directly, thankfully!
I started thinking about using the LoRa protocol directly for this too! My biggest concern is overwhelming the mesh. But I also had no idea what protocol would work so thanks for mentioning PPP. I haven’t thought about that since I was a kid! That would be really cool though!
Maybe just for a POC someday?
Also: how are you liking MeshCore? Did you have to pay for a license to use it? How expensive is the mesh you’re building? That is something I’ve started thinking about too for this exact reason 😂
Ah I see what you mean. Yep I totally misunderstood what you meant. Yes I did think about that but I wanted to be able to control my servers too, hence MeshExec. ☺️
Thank you! ☺️
I could except it would need Internet access to subscribe or publish to an MQTT broker. I wanted remote control when both I don’t have Internet access when I’m away from home, and my home itself has no Internet access.
For MQTT packets to be forwarded over the mesh, there needs to be at least one MQTT gateway connected to it that has Internet access.
Sadly no I’m not, but I was very inspired by him when I was in that scene! PSP hacking was my first experience with customizing any kind of device beyond what average users can do and it’s what made me fall in love with computers as a kid. I don’t think I’d be the software engineer I am today or even in this field if it wasn’t for him. My name is Alex so I thought I could pay homage to him by choosing a similar username, since he had such a massive impact on my life ☺️
… Well that’s… Concerning…😅
What browser are you using? I want to try to recreate it!
Oh I’m looking into this IMMEDIATELY! 😂 That’s awesome!! Does it also form a mesh?
