I actually created the Alerts channel for my space weather bot. It was posting space weather alerts to LongFast but I didn't want to annoy people at odd hours if they weren't interested. I had my bot post a notification to LongFast occasionally for a few days to let users know about the channel.
To do all this I'm using #homeassistant as a back end which is really easy if you already have HA set up. Then the bot has access to all kinds of data online and off. I can also control HA using meshtastic messages.
I like the idea about a regular channels announcement. I think I'll implement it today. Here's my current bot menu. It only replies to DMs currently. Considering creating a prefix that it would respond to in LongFast. https://image.nostr.build/6c5b80b689c62c5d9ebf6b589eb26ae5e866d5db428901096f84abf5318d5220.jpg

Locally there's a bot that gives weather alerts. Today I made a btc price bot and a bot that responds to "popcorn" with the time.

The way I understand it #reticulum isn't built on and doesn't use #meshtastic but can use #LoRa in addition to other methods while meshtastic only uses LoRa.

Get a node and see who's in your area. They're pretty cheap and there are good prebuilt ones if you don't want to DIY. Make sure to get the right frequency for your region. In USA we're on 915 MHz.
UK apparently has a large mesh. It got so large they were having congestion issues. I should note that, though I can see all these nodes I often can't get messages out to the mesh. I'll be installing a yagi soon since I have a nice but narrow view of the valley.

I'm a capitalist and I don't do those things. I interact with others voluntarily and without coersion. With pure (anarcho) capitilism there wouldn't even be corporations since they are just legal entities. Any individual could only own what they and their community could physically defend.
Anyway, even the crony capitalism of which you speak has brought more wealth to the average person than collectivism ever will. Without it the device you're typing on probably wouldn't exist and you certainly wouldn't own one.

"By definition"...
Capital - Any form of wealth employed or capable of being employed in the production of more wealth.
Capitalism - An economic system in which the means of production and distribution are privately or corporately owned and development occurs through the accumulation and reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.
"If freedom requires gatekeepers asking for money its not freedom."
Not sure who the "gatekeeper" would be here but if you're saying that you're entitled the output of someone else's labor that's "by definition" slavery.

I gave examples of prevention.
As for punishment, putting the guy in a cage doesn't get the money back if he's already spent it.
There are disincentives for antisocial behavior that don't involve government. Some don't include force at all. Do you think that the only reason people act morally is fear of government? Most people do good because they're good people.
One major disincentive is reputation. The guy that steals from the old lady will find it difficult to do again if it spoils his reputation.
Anyway if you're actually interested in alternatives to government there are plenty of resources freely available online. You could also look into buildung alternatives yourself. But if you want to convince me that government is some necessary evil then your wasting your time.

How is that NOT free market? If we're defing a free market as one without government intervention then that scenario surely qualifies.
You inquired about the ancap position on this so I gave it. As for how it works there are already free market mitigations for this kind of thing. I'm no financial expert but insurance, auditors and ratings agencies come to mind. Crowd sourced info akin to yelp could help. Some level of transparency could be achieved with public legers or some other tech if there was enough market demand for it.
Fraud is already illegal yet it still exists. Preventative and voluntary measures are preferable to putting people in cages and all the centralized bureaucracy that entails IMO.

Wouldn't think it would need saying in such a liberty/bitcoin heavy forum but I see bad spelling all the time. Sometimes people's words contradict what they're saying.

Friendly reminder that just because a government steals money from you and uses it for evil doesn't mean you're evil.
If someone stole your car and hit a pedestrian would you feel guilt?
Statists want you to feel guilty. They want you to feel culpable. Stop using terms like we when talking about a government. And don't call it my/your/our government. That is an illusion perpetuated by language. Words are like magic so be careful with your spelling.

The original post and my reply were specifically about the war in Ukraine and not the whole system but I'll take a bite out of that too.
By your logic a slave benefits from their master because he feeds them. Sure technically they're benefiting but they'd benefit much more from almost any other system. It may be a benefit but not a net benefit. The system takes more than it gives.
And then there's the word we again. You're making an assumption about who I am and where I live. Lots of people on this planet don't benefit from this system at all.

It's relatively easy to predict and measure the intended outcomes of most actions. Though the unintended consequences are more difficult to measure, they often outweigh the intended ones. If only people would consider this before demanding that someone "do something" about something.

I can't think of a single way that I benefit from the war in Ukraine. There may be some unseen butterfly effect but it's certainly a net loss for me.
