If you didn't want me writing haiku in longfast you shouldn't have let me have meshtastic nodes.

Mein #meshtastic Router hängt exponiert im #Hotzenwald auf 1.000m mit guter Sicht.
Da die Schweiz auf medfast gewechselt hat, kann ich LongFast mit 7 hops nutzen.
Reichweiten mit mehr als 200km.

Anyone else have a #meshtastic device in #yeg? Find “LAMBNET T-Deck”! Let’s chat over Longfast.

#meshtastic #honeypot actually catched 1.095 different nodes arriving, passing, overflying or located in the south of german/swiss black forest area meshing at LongFast.

is the Meshtastic Longfast channel a form of social media?

#Meshtastic on Balloons - Live stream youtube.com/live/j7MsniL... tomorrow at 10am. At peak, it's expected to see everything from Los Angelas to Oregon and most of Nevada. Tune in on default LongFast or default MediumSlow and see if you can hit the balloon

Finally got some contacts through Meshtastic on the default LongFast channel. One person in an airplane, and a bunch of locals telling everyone where they received from.

At 5700m LongFast is throwing packets from Petaluma to San Jose.

Ugh, the fed labs themselves use LongFast here, so everyone switching to LongTurbo would potentially screw up their investment, because every node extends the Meshtastic mesh. No one’s on LongTurbo here.

Under 200 MediumSlow nodes remaining. There is more MediumFast in Northern California than there is even LongFast.

If you're in NorCal and use #Meshtastic, join the MediumFast adventure!

#Meshtastic läuft inzwischen recht stabil. Die überfüllte Nordschweiz hat auf MedFast gewechselt und jetzt läuft #LongFast für mich perfekt.
O: 270km bis vor München,
S : 195km bis Martigny,
W: 56km bis fast Straßburg.
N: nix wegen Feldberg.

@sebastian I had a #thinknode M5 with #meshtastic running while being on a train from #graz, #Vienna, #brussels, #london to #scotland (#Glasgow, #Oban, #edinburgh).

I now operate in defiance of the Great Piedmont Meshtastic Blockade.

Lol find me on LongFast.

Bei #Meshtastic lasse ich ein #Python Skript mithören und Nodes die zum erstenmal auftauchen in eine Datenbank schreiben. Inzwischen sind mehr als 500 Nodes auf LongFast registriert worden.
Das Skript reagiert mit einer Message auch auf Ping, QSL und Test in Textnachrichten.
