Anyone in the Cambridge/Somerville/Medford (MAMAS) region, or elsewhere in greater Boston involved in an active "internet resiliency club"? (c.f. this post and the megathread it spawned: https://kolektiva.social/@franklinlopez/114705462714586000 and https://bowshock.nl/irc, frequently referenced).

I'm an ex-network engineer with some skills and some spare equipment, but not a ham (except on stage), and a bit flummoxed by the projects out there (Reticulum, Meshtastic, SSB, etc). I'm too old and jaded to believe that we can solve the problems of people with technology, especially fragile/bespoke tech; you solve them via community organizing. But tech can facilitate community, so I'd like to figure out how we could maintain local/regional digital comms if our current house of NICs collapses.
