Explore and evaluate meshnet projects, find one that you like, and educate others about them. Set up the hardware, link up with existing mesh if you're in a dense enough area. Push federated services like Matrix and ActivityPub based services like Mastadon, so when it's time to go mesh, people don't laugh when you say "It doesn't reach Facebook/Insta".

    Uses kernel 3.x and latest commit is dated 2014 though. I believe there are more actively maintained mesh networking options in OpenWrt.

      The important part is the configs, other than that is just another distro. a very small niche group serviced this distro, and it seems to be derelict. The useful part of BZ mesh is USB bootup. so any machine can become and unbecome a node. sometimes something is finished and nothing further is done then a new way pops up. the advantage to porteus is its pared down for rapid boot up, to reestablish a node while walking about on the fly. " Major changes include: Kernel 4.16.3 Core is based on Slackware current 7 desktop options to choose from! http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.porteus.org/" http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/dl.porteus.org/" i believe its OLSR you may like.https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Mesh_Networking_with_OLSR https://wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Mesh_Networking_with_...
