Linux in a Bit<p>:blobcatbusiness: Reticulum is a fundamental re-imagining of what the internet can be, and a redefining of what many mesh networks are capable of. At its most basic it transports data like the internet has been doing for decades, but to leave it at that would be doing it a great disservice.</p><p>With Reticulum, anyone can make and join almost entirely self-organizing networks that work without any central authority. Networks can combine into a single larger network and networks can split apart into multiple smaller ones; as long as there is a path, Reticulum can form a connection.</p><p>Adequate initiator anonymity and strong per-packet encryption are required for multi-hop communication, and Reticulum is a peer-to-peer network so devices can directly connect to each other, securely and end-to-end.</p><p>Reticulum is versatile enough to connect over almost anything you can think of simultaneously; that includes things like LoRa, serial, and packet radio. Networks can grow to a truly global scale if built out properly, and Reticulum is designed to cope with extreme network topology and bandwidth differences almost entirely automatically.</p><p>There is already a surprisingly strong community building projects with Reticulum and its native formats and standards, though it is still in beta and not ready for production... yet ;)</p><p>Yes, I finally rewrote the intro of my Reticulum essay: <a href="https://linuxinabit.codeberg.page/blog/reticulum/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">linuxinabit.codeberg.page/blog</span><span class="invisible">/reticulum/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Reticulum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reticulum</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/network" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>network</span></a></p>
