    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.
