Agenda

• Pick location for next weekly
• Node notes:

  • NodeMississippi -- ramping up for an install attempt this Saturday, bath bar has paint applied.

  • NodeStreetRoots -- need to follow up to schedule a visit

  • NodeKlickitat -- upgraded an ancient WGT634U to a WDR3600 for one of the mesh participants today

• OpenVPN report, follow up from last week
  • Devices that are currently reachable were repointed at drei
  • Some devices are offline, we should probably leave iris as is until the offline nodes can be reconnected
  • Beginning to experiment with modified configuration:
    • multiple openvpn server targets for automatic fail-over (works-ish);
    • ipv6 configuration is complicated:
      • there are different prefixes for each server;
      • we want to use native ipv6 when it's available;
      • when it isn't available, we want to use our tunnel and dynamically routed via olsrd or equivalent;
      • we'd like to be able to use the tunnel when reaching other similar prefixed node addresses;
      • when olsrd is running for ipv6, it's stealing the default route via a low metric, which isn't really what we want;
      • there are some warts in the way olsrd configuration works currently which i'm working out, maybe by abandoning it.
      • i have a babeld configuration for nodes, but not yet for the servers (iris, drei, knod), needs more experimentation.

• BattleMesh -- debrief from Ted and Russell (latter really only was able to participate post-hoc via recorded stream)

• PCEngines Group Order has been submitted, delivery expected in roughly a week to 10 days.

Notes

• Node notes:

  • NodeMississippi - Attachment bar painted, likely Saturday event, pending hauling 16' of ladder.

    • Node contact will not be there, also need temporary 12v to test aiming antenna.
    • 1pm, maybe 1.5 hours

  • NodeStreetRoots - haven't heard from since end of October, need to contact again

  • NodeKlickitat - widgets had limited SoC capacity, Russell will cycle other widgets out over time

• BattleMesh - Ted caught Saturday youtube stream over several hours, and Sunday early with no time-shifting, would've preferred to talk directly to presenters, but did comment in chat.

Edit conflict - other version:

• PCEngines - most items cheaper than list, but also 2 UPS import charges expected
