Yes I believe one way to see what is happening is in fact our own mistake. We thought we could prevent those law of being signed but it was very naive.

The only way you fight this is by moving forward and faster than them. Because their eternal weakness is that they are slow and somehow stupid. But tech oriented people got pretty lazy in the last 2 decades:

- We let ISPs be the only gatekeeper of the Internet

- We let big tech dominate the mobile OS space

- We embrassed the Cloud and SaaS (not your computer)

These 3 things made us sitting duck to any authoritarian government and now we pretend to be surprised we are getting shot.

Here is what we can do before it is too late:

- Buy a $10-20 LoRa device and setup Meshtastic, Meshcore or Reticulum https://reticulum.network/

- Buy one for a friend

- Run openwrt and consider things like like B.A.T.M.A.N https://www.open-mesh.org/

- Connect and explore yggdrasil https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/

- Try I2P https://geti2p.net

- Get into a protocol like NNCP https://www.complete.org/nncp/

- Self-host at least a few services you can and care about

- Setup a DNS like https://opennic.org/

- A fair amount of understanding and use of the good parts of crypto/blockchain

- Get out of GMail, Outlook, iCloud, etc.

(there are probably many more)

It is gonna take the governments time to figure out what those things are and how to block and attack them.

Plus you will get more satisfaction and knowledge than with writing HELM charts, web apps or using AI.
