This sounds like what RNode devices for Reticulum networks appear to be able to do. (I haven't tried it for myself yet.) > RNodes can be made in many different configurations, and …

> Sure, in some cases, when the network has fewer announces to deal with, the 2% limit has less effect, the best way Reticulum can deal with this is with a network made out of more…

That does make a lot of sense, at least in terms of latency: I imagine that when a one-hop announce comes back from outer space, the faster multi-hop path across town will have alr…

Thanks! I had thought it would make sense to post this chapter of the Reticulum manual separately, as the other post is about Nomad in particular. But since my post here didn't get…

Does Reticulum routing always prefer the path with the fewest hops, even if a path with more hops might have higher throughput or lower latency? That's how I understand the manual …

> chapter 4 of the manual To me that chapter ("Understanding Reticulum") was a very pleasant read a few weeks ago, and inspiring too. I would love to get some HN expert opinions on…

> Once an announce has reached a node in the network, any other node in direct contact with that node will be able to reach the destination the announce originated from, simply by …

I fully support the recommendation of Le Guin's short stories! Too bad they are easily forgotten over her novels. (I guess a novel, as a product, is easier to review and to adverti…

Personally, I like to use wajig, which combines several (most?) Debian packaging operations in one tool. https://wiki.debian.org/Wajig https://github.com/gjwgit/wajig

While not built around CSV, two terminal spreadsheet tools I have successfully used in the past are sc-im and the (neo)vim plugin vim-table-mode: https://github.com/andmarti1424/sc…

I didn't know about DMXIS and tried to look it up, and it seems that there is a software and a hardware component (the latter not being produced anymore), see here: https://www.dmx…

I haven't seriously tried any of them, but have a look a the list at: http://lilypond.org/easier-editing.html Maybe Denemo: http://denemo.org/

The title is indeed ambiguous. It could just as well refer to sound-coding systems/languages like Sonic Pi, or to what you imagined. (Which would be an oddly specific kind of music…

This is pretty similar to what is described in Stanisław Lem's "The New Cosmogony" (a work of fiction, included in the book "A Perfect Vacuum"). Only there the terrarium-like isola…

Sure! I'm assuming if we have the means to fake the one turbulence, we can also cancel the other. Or the arrow is just not moving, thus no "natural" turbulance to cancel. I'm not s…
