Reticulum

Reticulum is the cryptography-based networking stack for building local and wide-area networks with readily available hardware. Reticulum can continue to operate even in adverse conditions with very high latency and extremely low bandwidth.

The vision of Reticulum is to allow anyone to operate their own sovereign communication networks, and to make it cheap and easy to cover vast areas with a myriad of independent, interconnectable and autonomous networks. Reticulum is Unstoppable Networks for The People.

Reticulum is not one network. It is a tool for building thousands of networks. Networks without kill-switches, surveillance, censorship and control. Networks that can freely interoperate, associate and disassociate with each other. Reticulum is Networks for Human Beings.

From a users perspective, Reticulum allows the creation of applications that respect and empower the autonomy and sovereignty of communities and individuals. Reticulum provides secure digital communication that cannot be subjected to outside control, manipulation or censorship.

Reticulum enables the construction of both small and potentially planetary-scale networks, without any need for hierarchical or beaureucratic structures to control or manage them, while ensuring individuals and communities full sovereignty over their own network segments.

I'm right now between blogs…

I will set up a new blog soon... self-hosted w/o revealing my ip-addres, which means this time it will be an #I2P site and maybe a #OnionService

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ DNS + domain names are a huge scam in which I do not want to participate

I wish #i2p, #tor, & #reticulum were broadly supported by F/L/OSS OSes & by all web browsers… it's sufficient to open the designated tool when you click on it but having a (local) proxy redirect the request correctly would be better

A first & second #reticulum #rnode each on a #raspberrypizero each providing their own #wifi #hotspot & running #meshchat on http://<IP_1> :8000 & http://<IP_2>:8000 (different hotspot IP addresses)
using these instructions medium.com/@thakuravnish2313/h & loramesh.org/subpages/pi_insta & two wifi adapters amzn.eu/d/6SzEJww
in a #nixos #thinkpad allows both rnodes' meshchat GUI interfaces to be used at the same time on one laptop. Useful for monitoring multiple rnode radios outside or in the attic.

@decay @ronny @00Aaron Yes, #Meshtastic does technically offer encryption but it is missing some important features that are usually expected in good encryption protocols since the past decade or more, such as cryptographic authentication and integrity of messages, and perfect forward secrecy: meshtastic.org/docs/overview/e #Reticulum encrypted networking includes all of these features.

2025-06-12

@00Aaron I think #meshtastic is not encrypted actually.. if you want encrypted network, then check #reticulum .. btw. Do you have some photos and parts to build it? :)

@mesh Is #reticulum better in this regard?

This is a WisBlock LoRa device connected to an Orange Pi Zero 2W. They retail for around $35 and $25 respectively. Combined, they give you the ability to run #Reticulum over LoRa, local WiFi connection, TCP, and I2P. If you're paranoid, you can rfkill block the WiFi and Bluetooth antennas on the Orange Pi. If you're even more paranoid, they're right there accessible and ready to be removed. On the Orange Pi, the WiFi component is literally a detachable antenna.

Btw, I'm getting into #LoRa, and I’m learning that there are different flavours (#Meshtastic, #Meshcore, #Reticulum…).

While Meshtastic looks sexiest, the app is no longer compatible with my iPad, which might make me lean towards Meshcore — backward compatibility also matters.

How can #reticulum #meshchat on an rnode X suddenly lose the ability to send/receive messages from one particular #rnode A, when all other rnodes B & C continue to work fine and communicate with X? When restarting the rnode X the problem goes away....
Never seen this before. Normally either every message route between A & X and C & X and B & X works or nothing works.
Is there a routing issue? (Announces were made from all radios and plenty of time taken).

Working on something for Reticulum/NomadNet. It's a little script that takes CalDAV subscriptions and turns them into linked micron pages. If the internet ceased to function in your town tomorrow, what networked features would you like to see that could be supported by 1.07kbps?

@risottobias TIL cjdns, which sounds vaguely similar to what #meshcore or #Reticulum are trying to do with routing for LoRA networks. Well darn, that's another thing for me to read about this Sunday night.

Just kidding, I love pursuing tangential technology. That's kinda how I found @soatok blog in the first place.

@katzenjens

Du kennst #Reticulum ?
Finde ich besser als #meshtastic und funktioniert mit fast jeder Hardware die irgendwie senden kann.
