If you expect privacy or anonymity, Meshtastic is a danger to that, and you should not use it.
This is your regular reminder that Meshtastic is designed badly and is effectively a straight up non-anonymized wireless tracking beacon which can be intercepted and tracked by anyone with a smidgen of technical knowhow.
Resetting your devices identity or reloading the Meshtastic firmware does not help, because Meshtastic encodes the hardware MAC address of your device's radio unencrypted into every packet sent, including on-by-default telemetry packets which are sent regularly without any user interaction.
Many of these packets are intercepted and recorded by a myriad of MQTT observers around the world that other Meshtasic users have set up to log mesh traffic to the internet.
Jeśli ktoś potrzebuje to mam wydrukowane dwie 4-częściowe czarne obudowy do #T-Deck od #LilyGo z baterią Li-Po 1000mAh (na około 6h pracy) lub bez niej, gniazdem anteny zewnętrznej SMA lub bez niego. Wybrane śrubki do skręcenia.
Po wielu dniach od zejścia 'wielkiego śniegu' naładował się aku w #kurnik. Planuję umieścić tam swoją stację zamiast (lub obok) #meshtastic który musiałby zostać mocno rozszerzony by wspierał potrzebne mi funkcje (sterowania i komunikacji) a ciągle mam swoją bibliotekę #networkNode , którą łatwo da się wykorzystać by zachować komunikację #lora ale nie być na nią tylko skazanym.
#Introduction - A new home for longer mountain ramblings & tech dabbling!
After years on a managed Mastodon instance, I've finally jumped into the #selfhosted world! Say hello to my new personal #ActivityPub instance, powered by #GoToSocial from home.
While I test the waters here (and learn all the complexities of managing self-hosting!), this space will be for the longer-form, deeper-dive content:
Think of it as my digital base camp. If you're a mountain person who loves tech (or a tech person who loves mountains), we probably have things in common. Boosts and introductions are welcome!
Occasionally I collect #art, watch #LaserDiscs, study #horology, visit museums often (The Met, MFA, Harvard Art Museum), and support my local libraries.
