@snacks see the trick is to build a relay with a little solar panel and disguising it as a birdhouse :)

@coolbean i think ronja needs to be heavily modernized. Even when i was looking it cheap hardware could push much more data than the old stuff they where using

@snacks id be down for that as well i just dont consider myself knowledgable enough to do it but 100+mbps would be delightful and get it to the point where id consider it a reasonable option for a small scale isp

@coolbean how expensive is a fiber laser? Maybe you could just use a sfp module, amplify with one and send it lmao

@snacks honestly doesnt seem that unrealistic. i do like that ronja uses extremely ordinary and easy to source LEDs though. like fuck yea 90 cents thats the good stuff right there

@coolbean turns out telekom grade equipment is expensive 🥀. Maybe there's fiber converters or sfp modules that have high enough power on their own

@coolbean how much higher is the impedance of air than fiber? There's converters that claim 100km over fiber for not insane prices
