Geogram is running offgrid for 2 days in Lisbon on the Parallel Society festival on the 6 and 7th of March. Tickets and info: Come and enjoy a world beyond tech. Where people and art combine without algorithms from large corporations. Where you break away from limited things like bluetooth and reach out to the stars (satellites) for freely sending messages across this planet and beyond. We'll be there to give back sovereignity to your own data. To create options where your email, your chat, your blog and your photos remain yours. A world where you are not afraid of tagging friends nor documenting your events with family. A world that continues working even if the internet doesn't. It is all yours, private and free. It isn't perfect but we are building geogram together every day. Come and try it out. image

Arrived a new device called kv4p that is basically a VHF/UHF radio with an ESP32 inside for about 35 euros. This device was originally created to give APRS capabilities to smartphones. Now it will be used as standalone station for any laptop or phone be able to send and receive APRS using bluetooth. This feature should start to be available on geogram within the next week. With APRS you basically send and receive text messages using radio, up to distances of 1700 kilometers without Internet. A radio amateur license is required to use APRS radio frequencies. image
