Treffer: Rebooting from scratch.

The article focuses on the efforts of the Internet Resiliency Club (IRC), a group of volunteers in Amsterdam, who are developing backup plans to restore internet connectivity in the event of catastrophic outages. The group, led by Valerie Aurora, is concerned about the lack of official government plans to address such failures, especially highlighted by recent power cuts in Spain and Portugal that disrupted essential services. The IRC is experimenting with technologies like Meshtastic, which uses radio frequencies to facilitate communication without traditional internet services, and aims to create local networks that can operate independently during crises. Their work emphasizes the importance of preparedness and collaboration in maintaining internet resilience amid increasing threats from climate change, cyberattacks, and infrastructure vulnerabilities.
