The Reticulum Network Stack is a more generic lora capable protocol. It is intended to run over almost any two way link so it's less bandwidth efficient per packet than Meshtastic but in return it gives you packet routing rather than flooding. It can be run over TCP, LoRa, WiFi, etc.
replyhttps://reticulum.network/start.html has an overview and how to connect.
There is a manual with a lot more information on how it works and the ideas behind it at https://reticulum.network/manual/ however it's quite large and not really a user friendly guide
If you just want to play with it https://reticulum.network/manual/software.html has a list of clients and software using it.
This is awesome. I love that people are working on this. I wish for the day I can own a box that boots up, and gives me the 90s-00s internet experience without needing to ask permission from a bunch of middlemen.

replyReticulum has more to offer, it’s just not the welcome mat/filter the others are.
replyChit-chat is one thing.
Now that actually sounds interesting!
replyYou can create a network tunnel over meshtastic with the CLI. I haven't had the time to try it but I assume it's quite slow.
replyIt's ok, I don't read that fast.
