yeah there's a lot of stuff out there. I'm in to meshtastic/meshcore but have found them to be wanting.

I've also been playing with HaLow and Reticulum (30mbps), but the price and availability of the radios are rough.

I'm also hosting a little i2p, but more just to stay up on the tech, i2p is a lot dodgier and the available Android app appears to have tracking abilities.
