Hi. I recently heard about LoRa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa), a kind of very long distance low data bandwidth wifi / bluetooth. It is designed for internet-of-things devices, but the bandwidth it offers is enough to SSH and read the end of a log file and restart a daemon. Since I have a few technically-minded friends and acquaintances living in the same dense urban area, I am considering trying to use it to establish a kind of private network for emergency access.
I have found these articles, about a LoRa-based USB device and its use to do just that kind of thing: https://unsigned.io/product/rnode/ https://unsigned.io/15-kilometre-ssh-link-with-rnode/ (It seems to be out of stock, but the design is open.) I wonder if some people here have already had the same idea and explored it further, especially with software readily available in Debian? Regards, -- Nicolas George
