I work on mesh wifi, so I'm familiar with Freenet. You can see their (admittedly quite awesome) footprint here: https://cloudtrax.com/overview2.php?id=freenet

Of particular interest is that the mesh admin tool / firmware they're using, which is based on OpenWRT, actually underreports the number of clients and traffic because of its size. The operators say the real figures are order(s) of magnitude larger.
- nantes 16y agoYep, it is a pretty impressive network. I had a lot of fun, particularly given the range of day to day work activities. One day I am coding web apps, the next talking with fiber contractors, the next cleaning up after a big storm. I only work on web apps these days, so I miss the days of feeling completely overwhelmed by weather, a power outage, a fiber being cut, or, especially, climbing water towers.
