### AI overview

This article introduces OpenMANET, an open-source long-range wireless mesh networking project using Raspberry Pi hardware and Wi-Fi HaLow chips. It compares OpenMANET with LoRa-based Meshtastic, noting higher bandwidth and features such as push-to-talk, GPS sharing, video streaming, and ATAK integration, alongside higher hardware cost and power consumption.

### Source excerpt

OpenMANET is an open-source project for building long-range wireless mesh Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) using Raspberry Pi SBCs and Wi-Fi HaLow (802.11ah) chips from Morse Micro. This came up when we wrote about Morse Micro USB WiFi HaLow adapters, and an X user commented that "OpenMANET is going to explode with these available, no more adapter boards or M.2 cards". OpenMANET targets search and rescue, disaster response, airsoft events, and other off-grid or infrastructure-failed situations. So it looks like an alternative to LoRa-based Meshtastic and Meshcore, with higher bandwidth, at the cost of more expensive hardware and higher power consumption. OpenMANET supports field communications, including push-to-talk, sharing GPS positions, cameras/video streams, and ATAK (Android Team Awareness Kit) integration. The mesh network can access the Internet through a single "mesh gate" over Starlink or cellular connectivity. The project supports a range of hardware platforms including Gateworks Venice, Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, [...] The post OpenMANET - A higher-bandwidth Meshtastic alternative leveraging 802.11ah WiFi HaLow appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.

### AI overview

A recap of the seventh Reproducible Builds summit in Hamburg, Germany, covering project updates, reproducibility practices, verification services, filesystem images and containers, package reproducibility, SBOMs, and related discussions.

### Source excerpt

Farewell from the Reproducible Builds summit, which just took place in Hamburg, Germany: This year, we were thrilled to host the seventh edition of this exciting event. Topics covered this year included: Project updates from openSUSE, Fedora, Debian, ElectroBSD, Reproducible Central and NixOS Mapping the "big picture" Towards a snapshot service Understanding user-facing needs and personas Language-specific package managers Defining our definitions Creating a "Ten Commandments" of reproducibility Embedded systems Next steps in GNU Guix' reproducibility Signature storage and sharing Public verification services Verification use cases Web site audiences Enabling new projects to be "born reproducible" Collecting reproducibility success stories Reproducibility's relationship to SBOMs SBOMs for RPM-based distributions Filtering diffoscope output Reproducibility of filesystem images, filesystems and containers Using verification data A deep-dive on Fedora and Arch Linux package reproducibility Debian rebuild archive service discussion ... as well as countless informal discussions and hacking sessions into the night. Projects represented at the venue included: Debian, openSUSE, QubesOS, GNU Guix, Arch Linux, phosh, Mobian, PureOS, JustBuild, LibreOffice, Warpforge, OpenWrt, F-Droid, NixOS, ElectroBSD, Apache Security, Buildroot, Systemd, Apache Maven, Fedora, Privoxy, CHAINS (KTH Royal Institute of Technology), coreboot, GitHub, Tor Project, Ubuntu, rebuilderd, repro-env, spytrap-adb, arch-repro-status, etc. A huge thanks to our sponsors and partners for making the event possible: Event facilitation Platinum sponsor If you weren't able to make it this year, don't worry; just look out for an announcement in 2024 for the next event.

### AI overview

A personal account of building a private home lab using two Intel NUC Mini PCs, a modem/router, an OpenWRT router, and a NAS. The article compares Kubernetes and Docker, discusses maintenance and troubleshooting costs, and explains that the author ultimately chose a plain Docker setup.

### Source excerpt

**Setting up a personal Home Lab is not a task for lazy people**: it incurrs a **big cost of maintenance** and **issues arise** even though we might use the **best IT-Infrastructure practices...** but we can always **learn a lot** out of it and make it also **super fun**. In this post I would like to share **my journey** and share some **tips and tricks and issues** I bumped into. **Let's jump in!**
