I’ve seen some resources floating around including, if I’m not mistaken, a spreadsheet that adds up all the costs of everything you need.

Basically I want to create an internet coop that’s resistant to internet shutdowns and can keep running in situations where the wider internet is shut down but we still have electricity.

"Creating [a network] for the common good embodies the dream of the revolution."

Doesn't sound very anticommunist to me.

Oh nice, I just grabbed the best looking link on the subject - I didn't watch it through and vet it before posting it.

Turns out there's occasionally some videos on YouTube that aren't infested by anticommunist brain worms? Well, I'll be damned.

I mean, there is still the conceptual framing of "the government banned imports of all of a certain communication device" with the reasoning and assessment for this left totally up to inference, but otherwise it's quite okay.

Everything exists in degrees I guess.
