  • I do wonder if Marxism applies to Aliens. I mean with humans <insert ferengi photo> it is the understanding of the world that makes the most sense.

    Does that apply to say, whatever other species we may meet?

    Is it possible to meet an Alien species that had completely different modes of production that we can’t imagine? Maybe. I dunno.

    I also imagine most spacefaring species (if faster than light travel is even possible) have surpassed communism as a mode of production and have moved on to something that deals with the contradictions within it.

    This is all make-believe though. Seems like an unknowable thing until it happens. So probably best to not think about it








  • The problem with these lora implementations is how easy it is to disrupt them.

    Meshtastic is one of the larger ones and it floods it’s own network with interference from poorly set rules in the protocol.

    It doesn’t help that 915mhz is in a range that often only allows 1w devices. These radios are simply too weak to be used in a serious scenario where state actors can disrupt the frequency.

    Reticulum seems nice especially because it can be used in the lower frequencies which will allow for much longer range communication. And a lot of those devices for say 20m can operate up to 1500w. Which while still easy to interfere will be more resilient than a typical lora device.

    Lora to me best serves as a very contained way to interact locally (within a few km) with a handful of people.

    Any large network would not be hard to compromise I imagine all it would take is finding one device used as a router for a private channel. And there is instant access.

    Reticulum may be more secure than meshtastic which is what I am more familiar with but I don’t know to what degree

    Edit: wording
