This is a public LXMF propagation node — store-and-forward message storage for the Reticulum network. It holds messages for anyone currently offline, until their own client checks in and retrieves them. It doesn't read, decrypt, or act on anything it stores — it can't; it never has anyone's private key, including its own operator's.
lxmf.excubits.eu as a hostname is used to actually reach this
node. What matters is the destination hash underneath. If you're already
connected to the Reticulum network some other way, this node is
discoverable automatically via announce/peering; the hash below is for
adding it manually, or just to confirm you have the right one.

In Sideband: Settings → Propagation node → set this as your preferred node (manually, or let it be discovered automatically once you're connected to Reticulum at all).
In a raw Reticulum config, propagation nodes aren't something you "dial" directly — you need a transport connection to the wider network first. This node's own relay works for that:
[[excubits Uplink]]
type = TCPClientInterface
enabled = yes
target_host = rns.excubits.eu
target_port = 4242
