#RNode
finally got annoyed enough at the t-deck not having a proper UI on it when working as an RNode that i patched it myself

routine PSA for people who like meshtastic to check out reticulum.network and unsigned.io/rnode in particular, its like meshtastic but with a way better architecture and scaling potential

meshtastic is flawed and its talking up all the oxygen in the room from other (often superior) implementations

rNode builds a cryptography layer on top of the long range, decentralized networking capability of mesh networks. In addition to encrypting messages, rNode also uses the network to serve ultralight web pages.

Our site comes in altogether at 76Kb and can be accessed across mesh radios using rNode.

like, every single node has this inside it, how cool is that???

@torlando.tech really great job with github.com/torlando-tec... btw!!!

just tried peering over BLE and it just worked instantly, that's insanely cool

and the battery drain seems to be much much less than sideband which is amazing as well

oh and RNode software can run on most that supports meshtastic so you don't need to buy any extra hardware!! just flash your existing one with their flasher tool!!

Hui! This is #p2panda doing #localfirst sync over #lora in a #mesh network 🐼 📻

We're experimenting currently with a log-based, replicated delay tolerant / store-and-forward protocol using the RNode transceiver firmware. All very early but fun!

Some other late-nite tinkering was getting a small Reticulum/Sideband network running on my phones and Steam Deck.

Next step: RNode.

Organized a #reticulum workshop at @c-base.org yesterday. It was really eye-opening. We came for the LoRa nodes but got sucked into the rabbit hole that opened up in front of us once we realized what we were looking at. It truly feels like 1990, a new internet with security and privacy built-in.

and if/when you decide to make an rnode - no need to change your identity or re-discover your contacts!! you just add it as a transport option to your existing config and it just works!!!!!!

#tcpip instead of #meshcore over a #heltec flashed with #rnode

feeling good about ui here
March 14, 2026 at 2:11 AM
yeah literally custom firmware , built based on RNode, but have been working with claude to move to microreticulum and a lot of custom UI / storage stuff on the SD card

I've ported Reticulum LoRa RNode to my new Lilygo T-Watch ultra watch and it works!

the hardware is fine, the software is a nightmare hobby weekend project turned something "serious" with huge architectural deficiencies present to this day due to its hobbyist roots and huge stability and UX issues

but yeah the hardware that runs meshtastic can run RNode software too
August 20, 2025 at 2:13 AM
hm, i wonder if i can run rnode on a rpi with lora attached....
maybe i'm gonna put that on my solar powered roof thingie
