Yes, probably have that old gear somewhere still. 2.4Ghz and OpenMesh firmware. It got a bit weathered corroded and got obsoleted by mobile data. But still plenty of need for #nearlynet - especially for disaster resilience- eg power or fibre goes down.

Hey @MeshnetNZ - remember that #nearlynet cache to assist not having a WiFi iPod (Mesh|Pod). - 15 years ago.

Got solar panel to supplement batteries 🪫 & it could run most the day, but usually fell over at night (or on a windy day when its tree based mount would move too much)

For those of you with alerts on, sorry about the 2am blip.

'Twas security maintenance on our hosting server to address a recently disclosed critical Linux kernel vulnerability, GhostLock (CVE-2026-43499).

They released a security update to mitigate it.

Really pimping those agentic skills. Only 358 connectors left, but most of them are $BIGTECH #enshittification so I got @MeshnetNZ to host some endpoints for #tinyNature to scrobble from and connect all the things and it's fun to have my ears connected to an #agentic AI via @NaturaAI #HumanPods (even if #NZNOG doesn't want my new SOC2 / OAuth'd connectivity methods)

[Mesh|net nz @MeshnetNZ]

Yes, we submitted on it - heck we already have lawful interception via #TICSA on at least three layers above our services - why do they need a 4th layer and power over overseas providers - it’s the service we deploy on top of that infrastructure that is critical to #NZ security

[Mesh|net nz @MeshnetNZ]

@JoMangee @jo_mangee They are more interested in people than companies - tho recently Jo did a job where he had to add Mesh|net in as they didn’t understand how to engage a person that wasn’t an employee of a company. Ended up another casual contract but via CAB 79.
Fun times in the #nz gig economy

We remember the internet back in the day - there were no “safeguards” to knowledge and we all turned out fine, right?

#DeepSeekR1 appears to have no safeguards…

@JoMangee Yeah, making sure it had enough power for the 6:30am (still dark) #route92 passengers waiting at the bus stop. Didn’t quite link back to internet but hopping content from home to Mesh|Pod to air gapped cache 1.4km away worked. Those iPods with only WiFi had fast connection ⏩📱

Mesh|net used to provide an open, unfiltered WiFi in Central Station. Was part of @JoMangee’s contracted terms to have an “unmanaged device” but it was air gapped and we provided encrypted USBs that needed enterprise auth and logging. @centralcomms 👋🏼

@JoMangee @ChorusNZ @onenzofficial Multihoming with diverse paths helps - failed back to bonded 5G from two providers and carried on.

Bit of a phish doing the rounds - check your #domain renewal dates and don’t give them your credit card details. @CrazyDomains have it all saved ready for Auto Renew and won’t #phish you like this

[Mesh|net nz @MeshnetNZ]

Yes, running two modems non stop was all the internet you needed for a neighbourhood. Worked until #realtime auction sites like TradeMe needed internet now, rather than podcasts and archives and software content from a cache.

[iJo 💜💥 @TheGeekJo]

@JoMangee @jo_mangee …so you could still answer the phone and have a 20-30s call before the modem lost its carrier and disconnected. #nearlynet - we could pull about 15-17GB a month for <$5 over a local phone call to Clearnet or Zfree #ISPs - was the start of @MeshnetNZ - download content for others

@TheGeekJo @TitanEmail Yup - it uses @TitanEmail MX at registrar. Can also setup backup on Mesh|net servers for local tools and existing hosting integrations.

Have found deliverability much better with Titan than our cluster - and has local support as well

Even anonymized “vehicle-to-everything” (V2X) data can be filtered or hacked, potentially providing a gold mine for advertisers, police or criminals. “Once that data is out there, people will find ways to use it,” EFF’s Cliff Braun told Marketplace. https://t.co/DnchyHSjrd

It's been twenty years and there are still no clear boundaries on behavior like this. No one charged with looking out for users' interests save public interest-minded folks to discover some of what even mainstream apps are doing. (TikTok has over a billion monthly active users!)
