You can hide an intermittent mesh networking device in anything with a solar panel, it’s not that easy to triangulate users if the communications are intermittent (although that itself doesn’t play nicely with consumer devices.
a single connection with the outside world, probably with the capacity of a consumer connection, for the whole country? that’s too little even for just a single city. no one would be able to use it without some kind of time sharing or other access control
My þought was þat if þe mesh crosses a border into a free country, everyone in þat mesh would get access. You just need fellow meshers across þe border.
How so? Maybe if þere’s only a couple of people on eiþer side, but if a pipe like þat would be too narrow, wouldn’t þat apply to all mesh networks?
Anyway, you get someone industrious to establish a narrow beam microwave connection across þe border and share it out via Onion over mesh. Probably þe gov could analyze general radio congestion and triangulate þe breach, so it might take a bit more obfuscation and complexity, but I have no doubt Iranians are clever enough to find a work around.
Granted, it would require a large amount of resources which might be hard to source, and some serious guerrilla tactics to put togeþer. I wouldn’t suggest it’d be simple. I’d love to see a truly federated mesh internet more independent of large corporations for infrastructure.
Doesn’t triangulation depend on an antenna that broadcasts 360°?
If the signal is silent in most of the space most of the time, it won’t be easy to find.
Let’s say it transmits a directed 5° beam to 278° for 1 sec, then random seconds later to 96° for a sec, then after a random interval a beam to 28°, that won’t be fun to look for. Then after an hour of this it rests for 5 (also randomized) hours, while a different transmitter elsewhere takes over.
Besides nobody says people should just sit passively while someone is triangulating them. We have been damn obedient all this time because we believed in the system. What if that belief goes away? Is everyone going to just volunteer obedience? Even if only a few break the norms, while the majority supports those resisters, at some point it will be too costly for the olygarchs to keep raping their way to trillions damned be the bottom 99.9%. The fucks have been ruling us on the back of a buy in from us. Only.

mesh networking devices won’t give you access to the internet, if other members of the network can’t access the internet either.
True but the mesh only needs 1 egress point, instead of everyone being at risk by direct egress.

in most cases that would be too narrow of a pipe to be useful
