It’s dead simple to buy and start running your own node. You can get a Heltec v3 for $25 or less on Amazon and after a quick flash, you’re in business.

Some people may prefer to assemble their node from parts rather then buying a completed appliance.

Why are you against that?

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I’m not. Those people are welcome to do that still. OP posted a dead/malformed link, and I didn’t want to dissuade potentially interested readers from trying out the tech.

Plus off the shelf is cheaper.
