randomodbuild | Also, does the yggdrasil client run on the openwrt node, or on a computer that is plugged into the node (when I say node I mean the radio that is using 802.11s w/o mesh mode forwarding) | 17:05:27 |

Stephen304 | We run it on the raspberry pi but currently the meshing happens on a separate radio, mostly due to better antenna design. The raspberry pi radio could also do mesh mode but we don't currently since the external radio is waterproof and can be placed outside | 21:22:33 |

DarkDrgn2k | Raspberry pi radio can't do 80211s | 23:46:09 |
DarkDrgn2k | Unless something changes.. | 23:46:18 |

Stephen304 | Hmmm, well the pi could do mesh mode with a different wifi adapter in that case. | 05:09:57 |

DarkDrgn2k | Which are not easy to find :( | 04:46:41 |
DarkDrgn2k | https://github.com/tomeshnet/802.11s-adapters/blob/master/README.md | 04:47:30 |
DarkDrgn2k | mpcie adapters are more likely to have 80211s | 04:48:11 |
DarkDrgn2k | But very few boards support mpcie | 04:48:48 |
Stephen304 | I think Will knows of some that work. We abandoned using the pi as a radio a long time ago since pretty much any separate radio with non-pcb antenna will blow it out of the water rf performance wise | 04:57:59 |
DarkDrgn2k | Yep.. its good for being in the same room thats about it :) | 13:57:09 |
DarkDrgn2k | Problem is we found that pushing 1gbps in any non standard way (ie not fast path/accelersted) is no joke :( and thsts not even encrypted | 13:58:23 |
DarkDrgn2k | Cpus on consumer devices and low end bus just can't hack it | 13:59:35 |
DarkDrgn2k | as for pis, they are not really resilient. I wouldn't trust a pi to run for a year without needing the sd card replaced đ not to say one couldnt run for a year, but i wouldn't trust it to | 14:04:58 |
DarkDrgn2k | right now our super node kit is about 1,300 bucks but is hindered by CPU due to the L2TP backhaul tunnel we use (not even encrypted âšī¸ ) | 14:05:58 |
cure | DarkDrgn2k: that's why I like to network boot my pis ;) | 20:17:45 |
DarkDrgn2k | there was a project to create a ramdisk os for the pi (mesh orange) | 21:13:08 |
DarkDrgn2k | where only the boot uses the sd, after that its all ramdisk | 21:13:24 |
cure | that sounds pretty good, particularly on the ones with quite a lot of ram | 21:45:06 |

DarkDrgn2k | depends what your running | 05:13:51 |
DarkDrgn2k | we used it as a steady-state docker image backed by swap | 05:14:07 |
DarkDrgn2k | ~shrug~ i alwayt though that was wierd :P | 05:14:17 |

lurker | lol this is amazing | 02:27:28 |
lurker | so proud that Bernie used our AP | 02:27:41 |
cure | indeed :) | 02:38:54 |
