I can’t go through the docs right now, but I’m assuming it can prioritize things like emergency communication over sensor data. There’s no public nodes in a 200+ km radius around me on that site someone linked, so something tells me I’ll have to do a lot of guerilla solar panel installation if I want to anonymously set up something. I’ve thought about it on and off over the past two years, more of a private network for family and friends than anything, for emergencies and so on. The real, big problem is that I could be accused of espionage and thrown into jail forever if I do this. So I don’t think I’ll see anyone putting any nodes up for the foreseeable future. At least not public nodes. permalink fedilink source parent [+] MangoCats@feddit.it 1 point 2 months ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent replies: [–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 months ago (-1 children) Did you reply to the wrong comment? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow -1 child comments load more comments (-1 replies) load more comments (-1 replies)
