I wrote an article about Sestriere, MeshCore and why Haiku’s architecture is a natural fit for mesh radio communication.
It covers how BMessage/BLooper maps to async radio packet handling, the MeshCore ecosystem, and a practical scenario of off-grid communication in an alpine valley.

Hope you enjoy it, feedback welcome as always!

Hi everyone,
I interviewed Jon Yoder (DarkWyrm) for my blog DesktopOnFire. We talked about the early OpenBeOS days, Paladin, libcharlemagne, why he stepped back from the project, and what it’s like watching Haiku from afar today. I also asked him about Genio IDE — and his answer will make you smile. 
We just published an interview with Dario Casalinuovo, the developer behind VitruvianOS, a project that brings BeOS-style user experience on top of the Linux kernel, without X Server or Wayland.
He talks about his early days with BeOS and OpenBeOS, the Media Kit work, and the technical philosophy behind V\OS, including the Nexus subsystem and why running the Tracker outside BeOS/Haiku was considered impossible until now.
Nice article Andrea 
I was thinking your “about the author” should say “BeOS was love at first boot” 
Maybe now that you have that all sofware you can start to think in a destokonfire 3d repositorie for 64bits?
Thanks for the suggestion! Honestly, I wouldn’t even know where to start with setting up a dedicated 64-bit repository, but more importantly, I’m not sure it’s the right move.
I believe it’s better to avoid splitting community resources. Using the official central repository ensures everything is in one place, making it easier for everyone to find and maintain the software. Keeping things centralized prevents unnecessary fragmentation.
But there are some 3rd party repos, it is normal, and is not so hard there are a tutorial as i know, like besly and the other repos
It’s true that secondary repositories exist, but I’m not interested in analyzing that aspect for now.
First, I’d like to get Bluetooth working on my new laptop so I can listen to music on Haiku with my headphones, and then connect my Meshcore companion via BT instead of serial to clear up my desk.
Unfortunately, the Meshcore module uses BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), and the internal BT module in my old Vaio doesn’t support it.
Over the weekend, I’ll actually be working a bit on Sestriere to fix some bugs I discovered and that were pointed out by users testing it.
but imagine an agent made software repo, it could be awesome, in fact i can bring some of my apps there :V
just learned about VitruvianOS today, an amazing and welcome alternative that blends Linux and Haiku worlds! Curious about the progress with indexing, node monitoring and query support…
Now I can soon say SEN also runs on Linux
