Tenda has good support among OpenWRT.

Lots of these machines are dynamically created and provisioned depending on load factors nowadays.

The days of manually setting up servers in hyperscaling-environments are long long gone.

Example: Your GitLab CICD needs Runners. They are dynamically requested "somewhere in our cloud somwhere in the world" and then spun up and configures fully automatically. No human touches this stuff anymore.

Our freaky network admins rolled it out in our global corpo.

Was fun seeing IPv6 running for a few days without problems.

Ionos (VPS XS+)

1 Core with 512MB RAM combined with Wireguard easily shuffles a few GBit/s.

For me it's a Intel n100 box with Proxmox. Auto Updates (without auto reboot) fully activated). It just works.

For accessing my home network I've rented a 1€-VPS that acts as a Wireguard connection hub.

Maybe he could offer this "as a service" using LoRaWAN and a cheap Mikrotik basestation? As a backend Chirpstack can be used.

Not for 2400MHz LoRa.

For 433/868/915 they are great.

lol. 10.000km with a few bits of fixed-structure payload you mean.

I'm currently thinkering of building a balloon with a 2.4GHz LoRa transmitter (SX128x) and a low-power STM32U microcontroller.

Why?

- You can repurpose 2.4GHz Wifi gear opening many doors

- You can easily include volunteers dumping data from HF into a IP sink for telemetry. TTGO offers boards with 2.4GHz LoRa.

- Theoretically you still can add a "low rate" 868MHz/433MHz and a "high rate" 2.4GHz for transmitting pictures and other stuff more quickly.

- BOM friendly. As the balloon might get lost you have to plan a bit for costs.

I've never seen a bigger network with Reticulum in the wild. And I'm deep into Mesh stuff with several local communities.

One of the main reasons of the communities not jumping onto the ship was that it's mostly a one-man-project and most of its Git changes are "Update" "Better Version" "Update" "Cleanup" which makes it basically impossible to track changes.

I've bought hundreds of Puya's for my lab stock on LCSC. Neat little things!

I have at least 10 neighbours on each 2.4GHz channel.

Any interesting changes regarding BLE Meshing?

We evaluated it BT5.x and the performance was not overly satisfying.

The Padauk and Nyquest are barely useable. They are highly specialized devices (often ROM-only).

Cheapest "general purpose" microcontrollers that have enough features for good developer experience are Puya and WCH.

If you are a seasoned STM32 developer you will get used to them within a day.

LTE/5G is available on the low bands (700/800MHz) in Europe for a long long time now.

I'm running LTE-only with zero problems for 2 years now without a single coverage gap. Even in the rural parts.

Yes. All my OS projects have a strong Copyleft-clause.

Cannot stand companies stealing stuff and giving nothing back.

Thanks god they hate Copyleft licenses like the plaque.

If you develop hardware also have a look at the "CERN Open Hardware Licence"

Most FPGA vendor tools can be used from the console. But they are very fat.

There's also ING in Germany. They are super famous.

They are not called Ing Diba anymore.
