  The pool is a set of micro-atx servers each with about 100TB of storage that provide core services.

  The mesh network is approximately 400+ routing nodes capable of providing access to 100k people in the event of emergency (other people are able to add their own nodes into the mesh network, so the details change daily); the standard has 96 hours of battery life and enough solar panels to provide 24 hours worth of power in 2-4 hours of sunlight.

    Where is this mesh network located? Sounds amazing.

    I’m very interested in how that network got started, if it’s some kind of community, more context, etc, if you’d like to tell a bit more.

      It is actually a dozen different communities that I know of.

      Local drug dealers, the local police department, local firefighters, End of the World preppers, black panthers, some old school ham radio operators, socialist rifle association and a bunch more (and honestly since anyone can join, there is definitely more than that)

        This sounds rad, which protocol/meshnet system are you using?
