      Solarpunk for tech? I dig it. I followed the community, you seem to really care about it, and while I don’t understand a lot of what you posted, I dig it.

      I’ll try to participate when I can, but I can’t promise a whole lot. :)

        🤘🏽🤘🏽You are awesome🤘🏽🤘🏽

        No pressure! I have so many more links and ideas to share. The fediverse is the perfect place for this kind of idealogical shift. If we can co-opt the tribalist information delivery mechanisms of mainstream media and centralized social media, we have a chance to provide people with the knowledge they need to become better, more prepared citizens of the world.

          I look forward to it!

          I hope you are prepared for very noob questions cuz ima probs throw some at you, it being what I know.

          I’m a science and tech communicator by training (drastically underemployed as tech customer service, but if someone would just give me documentation to do, damn…) so no dummy; don’t know shit about software dev/coding but I learn very well. :)

          Have a wonderful day/night! Bed I go.

        Of course!..especially as it pertains to decentralized exchange of information and grass-roots activisim and legal civil disobedience. I can, for example, think of many applications for LoRa with regard to darknet nodes, etc.

          Awesome! I’m clawing back more time from work and working towards some open source hardware and software stuff. Will be fun to post once I have things underway. Mostly, I’m aiming at free and open FPGA libraries and actually useful AR/mobile computing stuff that fits in with the positive technological side of cyberpunk, rather than the dystopian. Absolutely want to dig into doing LoRa at some point as well, myself.

          EDIT: Just realized that I misread the community name but, I’m still into it.

            You should look into RISC-V as well. Someone posted something about a formally-verified OS that runs on an fpga emulation of risc v. it’s called lion. Super interesting stuff and some among us figure it could be a foundation for an end-to-end formally verified machine. Perhaps virtually zero attack surface area…

              I am indeed very interested in RISC-V. It’s one of the reasons that I got an FPGA board in the first place and why I decided to spend a bit extra to get a “grown-up” Xilinx 7 series instead of the cheap Lattice FPGAs. Just wish it were possible to get anywhere near “real” CPU clock speeds on an FPGA and that large enough FPGAs to run some of the really cool designs weren’t so expensive so that I could build my dream, fully-open-source computer.

      Ugh. Fine. The whole concept is very idealistic. But I subscribed any way, because your right. I might learn a thing.

        Perhaps the cynical side of me would argue that you have to start from a place of righteous idealism and work your way backward. I’m old enough to know that nothing much will change but I’m also tech savvy enough to realize that we’re in the golden age of being able to create open source tools and software that enable more freedom and safety from tyranny than any other time in history.

        Also, I’d appreciate someone who wants to play devil’s advocate. I’m often overly exuberant about ideas and I need someone to tell me what I’m missing.
