Using mesh radio networks to use mainstream apps without siloed servers legally stealing our information (youtu.be)

This is a great history lesson and explanation for how useful mesh nodes can be.

Basically on a haven node you can fool apps like facetime apparently to enable video calls without apple servers involved because they only check for internet connectivity but don't seem to actually need to use it for the video stream. And that we apparently didn't notice this because we usually have internet connectivity that facilitates using apple servers and such.

Yes at this point I'm looking at the hardware trying to decide on what to go with and how to set it up. I would like to have a small open network in my community. Hosting local services Etc. These Technologies stand to greatly democratize large scale networking in war and peacetime.

Id wait 2 weeks to buy hardware. A new release is coming and they are hinting at new hardware.
