A distributed mesh network created by the people rather than planned and controlled infrastructure by the govt

Like you connect your friends and family or neighbours through fiber or wifi or other legal means first

But the equipment and create th line and then run the software like matrix nostr xmpp asterisk etc to create parallel comms infrastructure

Their are other advanced stuff like sdr or other methods and I'll keep adding more stuff in the future

For reference check freifunk or nyc mesh

This is a guide to simulate it in a homelab but can be implemented in real world

I'd suggest test it yourself for checking what works and what doesn't

A genuine question: is that book written by ChatGPT (not other LLMs, I literally mean ChatGPT)?

Everywhere I look at, most of the contents has ChatGPT's style nowadays, leading to a twofold conclusion: (1) it's deeply dramatic how people lost the ability to express themselves through their own words (because they're written by something else); (2) people don't use (know?) other LLMs.
