Start your own Internet Resiliency Club

Thanks to war, geopolitics, and climate change, Europe will have more frequent and more severe internet disruptions in the very near future. Governments and businesses need to prepare for catastrophic loss of communications.

In addition to systems consulting, I am a special rapporteur for the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act, serve as a RIPE Meeting program committee member, and speak at European technical conferences. If you work for a internet infrastructure company, you can suggest giving interested employees a LoRa radio, a mobile phone powerbank, and maybe even a small solar panel for their personal use (perhaps as part of an annual gift or bonus). Flashing LoRa boards is relatively easy; it can be as simple as using the Meshtastic web browser flasher(requires Chrome or Edge) or dragging and dropping a file into a mounted USB drive presented by the device.
