Kookie 🍪🇵🇸<p>In case you're not familiar, <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/qaul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qaul</span></a>.net is a free software project that aims to connect people via ad-hoc mesh networks. Born out of the riots in Egypt in 2011, and the <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/freifunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freifunk</span></a> project, it made Android phones able to create decentralised, internet-independent networks on the go, with very little technical knowledge required to set it up!</p><p>The project is currently grant funded and what I get most of my money for to live. WE have an IRC channel on freenode if you wanna say hi, and the above ML.</p>
Kookie 🍪🇵🇸<p>Finally managed to get some <a href="https://octodon.social/tags/qaul" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qaul</span></a>.net stuff to work that sends a text message through a full application stack, through a network of three nodes!</p><p>There's a 100 other things on my laundry list but this is a bit of a weight off my shoulders because it was a pretty big blocker!</p><p>Posted about it on our ML and I guess I'll clean up the code and push the changes to master soon.</p><p><a href="https://lists.sr.ht/~qaul/community/%3C87mubzshij.fsf%40kookie.space%3E" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lists.sr.ht/~qaul/community/%3</span><span class="invisible">C87mubzshij.fsf%40kookie.space%3E</span></a></p><p>*excited*</p>
