Where do you go to chat with offline / air-gapped systems enthusiasts? I've been obsessed with machine learning for embedded systems for years! So many practices around ML assume constant network connection and/or that your service runs in a data-center. I'm an ex-SRE and love building reliable offline computer vision things!

Where do you go to chat with offline / air-gapped systems enthusiasts? Nowhere. Should we start something? :)

  I'm in! I run a small Discord server for 3D printer enthusiasts (I'm building a a closed-loop monitoring system for 3D printers). A section for offline systems in general would be easy for me to add. Invite link: https://discord.gg/sf23bk2hPr https://discord.gg/sf23bk2hPr I'm open to wherever people naturally gather though. IRC, maybe? Another community you might like: https://www.tinyml.org/ https://www.tinyml.org/

  I share this interest! I feel like a lot of ham radio networking is still "offline" from an internet perspective; you may have a LAN or even a WAN but no connection to root DNS or certificate servers or whatever. This tickles my fancy: https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2018/01/off-grid-raspbian-repositories.html https://blog.thelifeofkenneth.com/2018/01/off-grid-raspbian-... I feel like /r/darknetplan is tangentially related, but not quite what I'm looking for. I've been playing with Internet-in-a-box, which is precisely wrong about its name; it's an offline repository of content that was developed on the internet. Someday I'd like to marry that with my Othernet receiver, which is a similar offline-hotspot-of-content but keeps that content updated by receiving a satellite data stream. (One-way only.) Piratebox seems to be a dead project by that name, but I like the idea. A local file repo and possibly bulletin-board for use by folks within range of the box. Yes, yes, yes, where do we go to chat?

  I've joined the discord server advertised by grepLeigh in another comment.

The NNCP Matrix/IRC rooms have folks interested in offline / air-gapped systems.
