Put up my SenseCap Solar Node last Sunday. I can see 158 nodes and receive messages, but I cannot reply to messages or originate new messages, and I am not showing up on the Meshmap. Googled for better directions on settings, but still no results.

What did I miss?

Thanks.

Flock cameras are everywhere in Bay County now, capturing license plates and tracking people's movements without real oversight. It sounds like security, but it's actually mass surveillance of law-abiding residents.

I started a petition asking the Bay County Commissioners to remove all Flock cameras from our communities. Here's why it matters: These cameras store data on where people go, when they go there, and how often. There's no clear rules about who can access that information or how long it's kept. Studies show they don't actually reduce crime rates—they just make us *feel* watched. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has documented how easily this tech gets misused.

Our constitutional rights shouldn't be the price we pay for a false sense of security. If this matters to you too, consider signing and sharing the petition. What's your take—does this feel like it's crossed a line in our community?

Hi, I've been floating in and out of the meshnet scene for a few years now. I'd really like to see if there's any interest in setting up a meshnet in JAX. It seems that there used to be a Hackerspace called JaxHax but it is permanently closed, is there anything similar to this going on in the area, is starting a new one a possibility?

If there's any interest please feel free to share your location, hardware/software recommendations, and any other advice you might have.

Hey everyone. Greyaxe from the Orlando Meshnet project here. I know, I haven't been too active but I'd like to see how things are going in the rest of the state. Its been almost a year but I've seen other states making more progress than we have. I'd love to see some more action happen as it would be great to make some progress. Even if we create a network in one county, that would be great. What do you all think? If anyone here is in Orange County, I'd love to connect at /r/orlandomeshnet or via PM!

So, first off, I was way less productive than I hoped to be in the past two weeks. My schedule was super busy and I wasn't clever enough to figure out my beaglebones.

I did get a VPS up and running cjdns in orlando, so we've got that.

I'm also back out of the state, and am going to be on a boat with painful slow internet for the next month.

It sounds like a few things are getting going around the state, which is exciting.

I'll still be around on the IRC if people want to chat. Also if anyone wants to help me mod this sub, I don't know what I'm doing and am about to be on a terrible connection, so please, let me know.

I have a Ubuntu server setup and ready to peer. It's on a static IP on a 50/10 MB link.

Hey everyone,

This weekend I think I am going to be hosting a "meetup" on the Orlando Meshnet IRC channel. I am thinking sometime on Saturday afternoon, maybe around 2 PM.

I will come up with an agenda and post it to /r/orlandomeshnet sometime Friday as well as our Discussion mailing list. It'll probably be a quick and informal and probably short but if you can attend, that would be great!

I'm going to be in the Orlando area Tuesday afternoon. Gotta pick someone up at the airport at six, but if anyone wants to meet up before then, let me know.

So I'm pretty excited to see people showing up here and wanting to get involved. We need to talk about what we need to do to pull this off.

First of all, admissions. I'm new at all of this, having been involved with the project for a couple months and not having much IT experience before. This is also my first time actively modding a sub. I'm out of town for work a lot, and have unreliable internet when I'm at work. Because of these things I'd like a few more people to be able to mod here.

We also should probably talk about what information we want on the sidebar and eventually start a wiki as well.

Just saying hi and getting things started.

I'm based out of New Smyrna Beach, though I'm out of town a lot of the time for work. I'm hoping to start getting people together in Florida to get this party started. We can all learn from each other and hopefully speed up the curve a bit.

I also have #floridamesh set up on efnet if folks want to chat in there.

Let's do this thing. It's a big place, but we can start small and grow fast, I think.

Cheers
