Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

questions about getting into Lora?
Also, the messages will be extremely slow. On the low end, 300 baud (if you are close enough, 37kbps, but there are laws preventing full usage in some countries.). Not enough to send pictures in a reasonable amount of time. See also https://disaster.radio/

Post collapse communications
CollapseOS and disaster.radio?

Ask HN: What's with the DIY state of the art long-range Wi-Fi?
(btw. no affiliation here, just a happy customer)
Think about using fiber optics at least for longer fixed paths: a couple routers with SFP can provide a gigabit connection over several kilometers, and the fiber cable can be easily buried so that it's not easy to notice and doesn't hint the enemy that a transmitter is operating nearby like WiFi would certainly do.
For very slow and long distance communication, namely text messages, LoRa can be an option to which encryption can be added externally. All other considerations about radio transmission remain valid for LoRa too, however. You may find these links interesting:

The new RNode is a self-replicating, open and unrestricted digital long-range radio, that can be made by anyone with a 3D-printer and a few cheap parts bought online
This is extremely cool. Reminds me of https://disaster.radio/

Meshtastic / Disaster.radio / LoRa ?
Is anyone currently playing with, or is interested in creating a wireless network in the area to facilitate communication in the event of a disaster? There are these cheap, low power devices (about $20 or less) that can be programmed to communicate with others over very long distances, sending small messages, akin to SMS text message size. I was able to connect to people up to 23 miles away at my last house with this technology (via a Helium miner). The two most popular programs are Disaster.radio (https://disaster.radio/) and Meshtastic (https://meshtastic.org/). You basically put the device in an area where it has decent line-of-sight to someone else's device, and can chat to others via an Android/iPhone app that connects to the radio via bluetooth. This could be useful in general outdoor situations as well, where there is no cell phone service.

Check out https://disaster.radio/. I'd consider a lot of the parts they include in their system:

I know the point of it isn't to run on new hardware, but this would be a way to learn it on a stable platform without having to worry about dealing with constant problems from old hardware before trying to implement it on said.

Ask HN: We should urge law makers to unlock the bootloaders
There is something called Collapse OS I read about here on HN:
http://collapseos.org/
I myself am a collector of old devices, having raised three kids plus being a web dev. Hate throwing them away too I was just think about this today could I extract the CPUs or RAM or something to reuse rather than destory for the metals. I'd like to learn more hardware but no time.

Need help with designing a basic RISC V processor?
Maybe start with sufficient support for a simple OS that allows you to edit and compile programs. Something like FreeDOS or CollapseOs. Once you have that working you can extend it.

Subreddit Updates: May 2023
During collapse we'll all be using Dusk OS and post collapse we'll be using cobbled together rugged computers running on Collapse OS. I imagine at that point we can probably put the sub name to a vote. Maybe "r/ordinarylife".

A ultra minimalist distro just for fun
Not Linux....but you could just install Kolibri OS for a very light desktop or consider CollapseOS and DuskOS....think Dusk should run bare metal on now and won't be too bloated, but there's always CollapseOS if you prefer to keep things light
