I just ran into the weirdest bug using meshtastic, I don't even know where to start searching for answers so I figured I'd see if anyone here had any ideas.

So, I'm using a t1000e in pocket/on the go and a heltec v3 in a window upstairs. Both are connected to MQTT on a local channel [State Redacted]Mesh. I've been home for a few hours now and neglected to switch from the t1000e to the V3, TX and RX the whole time from the t1000e. I just noticed and said "ah let me turn off the pocket and switch to the home node," switched over, and all the messages sent hours ago doubled up and got reposted to the mesh somehow just from switching nodes. I know this because the second I switched the room's bot posted a joke, and last person to call !joke was me, 7h ago, and when I commented on it someone said "yeah you just reposted something you said hours ago."

What the hell?! Any ideas? Problem started today afaik, haven't changed any settings. I don't want to spam the SRMesh with hours old messages for no reason lmao. I do not have store and forward on.

Edit: Forgot about this part!

The other weird thing is if I hit traceroute on someone from the SRMesh, nothing happens (but it should be "direct," because "mqtt"), I can do a bunch of them and nothing, but then when I switch nodes and back again all the traceroute windows pop up at once like 1998 popups. WAT.

Edit again: Guy in the mesh said "I had some weird shit going on once, not exactly this, but try deleting the app cache."

It worked. Didn't even have to delete storage.

Edit No. what, 3?: Spoke too soon, it's back, and it isn't just me. Turned off MQTT on all but one node, whatever.

Sorry I'm late lol, was sick as hell yesterday! New list is up, some good shit this week!

From The World Of Minor Threats The Brood #4 - Minor Threats always rules, I think I missed the other new one, I can't remember the name though.

Into The Unbeing Part Two #2 - definitely missed #1, part one was pretty weird, I'll continue it if In can without going online.

Falling In Love On The Path To Hell #7 - YES

Lucky Devils #3 - Just read the first two, I'm in. Two Devils (not the devil) upending their corporate underworld's structure. This shit is right up my alley.

New list is up! Really short for me this week it seems, just one:

Sacrificers #15 - I'm still loving this series!

Well that's it lol. What're you pulling?

I'd rather ask my piracy and privacy respecting community here where it can benefit us all than read some dumb gismodo link called "top 15 android torrent clients," so, what are people using for some light android torrenting these days? Preferably something on f-droid if ya got it!

Got my first two devices on tuesday and I've been traveling around with them! Seems the t114 has much better range but is a less convenient package of course (and damn amazon didn't ship my GPS module, so now that is on the way with an upgraded antenna and a heltec v3 cause why not?)

I've been able to make a few connections, but I had a couple questions about some of them.

I've been able to connect to a few nodes around town, even got one reply, but there seems to be two categories of nodes, some "recognized" and some "unrecognized." Does anyone know why that could be? Can I still talk to them if they're unrecognized, and/or do they still route packets? Can I fix that or do the other nodes' owners have to?

Glad I finally got into it, been having fun and apparently my area has some activity (even if I'm in a deadzone at the bottom of a hill for now.)

Edit: Ok I keep forgetting about redlib so I think I don't have access to Ye Olde Country because VPN and I refuse all apps, but I just remembered and searched there! So if anyone else has this question like me it seems that:

Simply not enought packets have arrived to get that info

No nodeinfo received. Either wait longer or request user info manually.

And

These appear to be running an older version of the meshtastic firmware [pre-2.5] which likely do not have an updated public key.

Hey everyone, I hope this is ok to post here! I've been putting off getting into meshtastic for a while now but the time has come to play around with it. I have done some research but I always like to talk to real people if possible for real world advice and experience, not just youtube salesman and AI top ten lists. I have minimal experience with radio, but some.

As to meshtastic the research I've done has pointed me to a few LoRa boards, the heltec t114 v2, and the Lilygo t-beam, and also the Lilygo T-deck plus.

I really would love to have a phoneless standalone set up, but have seen some stuff about the T-deck lacking good firmware and so it isn't "ready," but then I've seen some people say to the contrary that some good firmware exists now. Are there other better phoneless devices for meshtastic? Is the t-deck good enough now that I could pick that up now and add some t114s later to expand the network? Or should I go with a couple t114s, and wait til phoneless matures a little?

As for the phone using set ups, are there other boards I should look at instead of the t114 and the t-beam? I do require either it to come with a case or have available .stl files to print one, I suck at CAD.

My final questions are to the antennas, is there an antenna manufacturer that is commonly recommended for meshtastics (915 khz), and am I looking for SMA female or SMA male connectors on the antenna, or does that depend on the board in question? I tried searching the product page for the heltec board and SMA isn't mentioned anywhere according to ctrl+f. I see some kits with an antenna on amazon, but they don't mention either and I'm sure I'll want to upgrade the dinky rubber ducky it comes with.

Thanks for taking the time to read this, double thanks if you responded, triple thanks if you have answers or any helpful links! I'm excited to be getting into the hobby here soon, and glad there's already a lemmy comm for it!

New list is up!

Frankenstein New World The Sea Of Forever #1 - Anything Mike Mignola I'm down for

Batman Off-World #6 - Wait this is still running? Ok I'm already down for it.

Sacrificers #14 - This series still rules

Cruel Kingdom #2 - Shit I still haven't read the last one.

Short one for me but that's ok because I had to grab 3 weeks worth at once last week since my shop has had issues with Diamond (I think.) What're you pulling?

New list is up! Good one this week.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles The Last Ronin II Re-Evolution #4 - Need more Turtles For Adults!

Ice Cream Man #43 - This issue is a series of one page horror vignettes by guest authors (all drawn/colored by Morazzo/O'Hallorhan iirc) of course with at least one being by W. Maxwell Prince (I think..), and including one by another favorite of mine, Patton Oswalt! Still one of my favorite comics out right now.

Seasons #1 - A horror story involving anthropomorphic seasons (winter, spring, summer, and autumn)? Ok sure I'll try it. Remender can go both ways for me, couldn't get into Low but love Sacrificers, so I'll at least look at a few issues.

Also add to that everything from last week, since my shop had none of it in stock. Idk what the hell is going on. Well, that's it for me, assuming my shop has any of it in stock.. What're you pulling?

This week's list is up! Sorry I'm a day late lol, I had the day off yesterday so my brain still thinks this is Monday lol. Looks like some good stuff this week!

Toxic Avenger #4 - I really shouldn't like this as much as I do lol.

Black Hammer Spiral City #3 - I like this Black Hammer universe, I need to catch up on the older stuff.

Creepshow Volume 3 #5 - End of the line for the third run, it's been great! Already eagerly anticipating the 4th! Looks like my copy might be coming in next week though, my shop has been having delay issues with Diamond, and it looks like Lunar ships it this week and Diamond the next, so who the hell knows.

Drawing Blood #7 - Behind on this series.

Hyde Street #3 - Really been digging the Hyde St universe (which is distinct from the other THREE Ghost Machine universes.) It's my favorite out of the lot actually, I need to know the details about everything they've been teasing!

w0rldtr33 #12 - Oh shit it's back! Looks like they're going into PH34R's backstory! Let's fucking go.

That's it for me, what're you pulling this week?

New list is up! Some good stuff this week.

Minor Arcana #5 - A woman moves back to her hometown when her mother gets sick, and she has to run the family psychic busines she thinks is bullshit. Only, she discovers there may be much more to it than meets the third eye (pun intended) when she has visions of her own. Written and drawn by Jeff Lemire who did Fishflies, also great.

From The World Of Minor Threats The Brood #2 - Minor Threats seems to be delivering again as usual, these books are good.

Shadow Of The Golden Crane #1 - I don't know anything about it but it looks neat.

Space Ghost #9 - Still following SG but I'm behind on it.

I Hate Fairyland #19 - Gert fucking shit up as usual, plays on my Happy Tree Friends nostalgia and has a better story, what's not to love?

Moon Is Following Us #5 - The fight to get their daughter back seems to grow tougher by the issue, but then if it didn't it wouldn't be much of a comic I guess now would it?

Well looks like that's it for me, what's on your pull lists this week?

New list is up! Looks like I'm back to it this week after a couple weeks of not much for me.

Blood Brothers Mother #3 - I've really been enjoying DSTLRY's stuff, this is no exception. I also happen to like westerns, so this one is a must get.

Geiger #10 - Not gonna lie I'm behind, but I'll catch up!

Lucky Devils #1 - This looks interesting, I'll check it out. Two demons stage a revolution in hell and are using two humans to do it (somehow.)

Cruel Kingdom #1 - Cruel Univer- I mean Cruel Kingdom is the new EC Fantasy reboot. I'm going to buy it just so EC can afford a thesaurus! (I was getting it anyway but c'mon surely there are other adjectives out there lol.)

That's it for me! What're you getting this week?

New list is up! Short list for me this week, looks like just one.

When I Lay My Vengeance Upon Thee #1 - This looks like it could be interesting, maybe I'll pick it up, but this seems to be the only enticing thing this week, I might just skip!

That's it lol. What're you getting this week?
