Full transceiver stack for LoRa/Meshtastic.
Even rtl-sdr's can decode 5 presets.
Its pre-2.5 so PKI with DMs isn't implemented.
I'm currently putting time into making SDR operation with meshtasticd on Linux instead of further developing my python.

This GnuRadio project aims at being a full transceiver stack (RX and TX) for a software defined radio to communicate with the Meshtastic LoRa network.

That's an effectively unprovable claim that they don't save metadata.
HOWEVER it is very verifable if you have a spare phone, and put everyone in your phone number block a a contact, Signal will dutifully tattle on every signal user.
Why? CAUSE THEY NEEDLESSLY CAPTURE PHONE NUMBERS

Not at all.
We have to be willing to admit where the failures are. Its the only way to start fixing.
Like Liberty Vote, the scam MAGA company that bought Dominion... What would it take to get local got to NOT buy their services?
There are ways to impede. And do not comply in advance.

Thats why this place kinda sucks.
Fediverse is loads better. Less people, but so much less hatred towards other people.
Corporate social media encourages infighting and hate to generate 'activity'.

I'm not sure he was legitimately voted in.
The election system has lots of holes in various places. Defcon election village talked a lot of the insecurities.
And now, a MAGA company bought half of voting companies in the USA.
It ain't looking good.

And I also asked for academic sources for this claim of "age verification but without identity verification".
You have yet to do so.
Im willing to accept I'm wrong with evidence. But so far, it just gets worse and worse. With your solution you need a bank permission.

KYC would absolutely refute this "cant be traced back".
By definition, KYC and a unique transaction ID explicitly ties it to the card owner.
And this solution also only says "person who has card is X person". 13 year old could take and use card.
And its not defeatist to call out bad choices.

Im game for reading any academic papers you can point me towards.
Only way forward here is to assume everyone is a child, until they identify. I'm seeing "upload your drivers license" on various discords, facial recognition, and other onerous shit.
This is how discord mods are doing it right now.

"Verify age without identifying customer" is the same energy as "cryptography but not for bad people", ala Clipper chip or more recently with Chat Control.
This shit is going to lead us to an internet that is gated precisely to our legal identity. All because of 'but the children' idiots.

Quite frankly, Im done with jamming shit policy with "but the children".
The UK is inflicted with this garbage of "everybody is a child until you identify yourself", and then every fucking thing you do is tracked with your legal name. And we're seeing this in the USA as well.

That seems it would permit the legitimate use of requesting asylum. If you can get away.
Id say to go to Canada.. but the USA is the only "safe 3rd country" www.canada.ca/en/immigrati... .🤮
Perhaps Mexico City?
But trans folk are kinda fucked right now.

That he was going to shoot up the school.
Hell, even as a 12 year old, never made those sorts of comments. Sure I beat a few bullies up. Black eyes, hurt egos... But never more than fisticuffs.

AI bullshit cannot fix the fact they've lost access to most of the shows that originally made Netflix great.
And now, everyone and their cat has a "streaming service". So to what what you used to, you now need like 10 different services.
Or you set it up yourself with #Jellyfin and rip/pirate.
