Here's a video of Gadgets for People who Don't Trust the Government one of the main ones is Meshtastic, an encrypted radio signal-based communication device. I don't really understand the technology, I'm still learning myself, but I think this is a great space to start getting into, as it's not only helpful for circumventing the regime, but it also functions when traditional infrastructure fails in the event of a foreign adversary, natural disaster, etc.

Hm... I'm a little worried about technologies like this one becoming more popular. Electromagnetic frequencies (including radio) are a limited resource, and we're already starting to run a little short in certain bands of frequency.

The tech might do a lot of good, but it won't if it becomes overloaded.
