Now that lorapipe has KISS-TNC protocol support for sending and recieving LoRa packets, it means that basically all sorts of ham radio and Linux tooling designed to talk to KISS modems suddenly work over LoRa. For HAM radio nerds, this means things like APRS -just- work. Follow the instructions in the documentation to get started. I suspect HAMs can bridge APRS across spectrums to ISM 433/868/915Mhz LoRa now using lorapipe. 😎 https://github.com/datapartyjs/lorapipe?tab=readme-ov-file#aprs-over-lora @meph@social.treehouse.systems #APRS #hamradio #radio #lora

Because this KISS-TNC stuff is pretty old, it has really good support on modern Linux. So we're actually able to setup lorapipe on two different linux boxes and form an ethernet network over LoRa! The current rev has some MTU limits we can fix, we can also eak out probably another 2x more bandwidth too. But as is I was able to ping, mosh and ssh over my ethernet-LoRa network between Linux computers! https://github.com/datapartyjs/lorapipe?tab=readme-ov-file#ethernet-over-lora @meph@social.treehouse.systems #LoRa #Linux #networking #radio #privacy #cybersecurity

@nullagent@partyon.xyz Nice! The meshtastic commandline tool has now also a --tunnel to do that. I see round-trip-time of 2-3sec for 2 devices next to each other on profile SHORT_FAST, limiting use.. but already not bad. @meph@social.treehouse.systems
