Rustic Retreat
Hot Projects
Live broadcasts and documentation from a remote tech outpost in rustic Portugal. Sharing off-grid life, the necessary research & development and the pursuit of life, without centralized infrastructure.
Subscribe to our new main project Rustic Retreat on the projects own website.
Apollo-NG is a mobile, self-sustainable, independent and highly-experimental Hackbase, focused on research, development and usage of next-generation open technology while visiting places without a resident, local Hackerspace and offering other Hackers the opportunity to work together on exciting projects and to share fun, food, tools & resources, knowledge, experience and inspiration.
When you offer free services, funny things do happen: Some people seem to have found their way to the Apollo-NG pads and started to collaboratively work on a document about software and hardware ecosystems as a permanent sustainable culture.
So if you're interested in the subject and would like to participate, please join the discussion on the mentioned pad:

Just a quickie and not really Apollo related but it took me a while to figure out how to implement Sipgate-Team trunks into Freeswitch, since the wiki only covers the single user sipgate accounts:
The UmTRX is a dual-channel, wide-band SDR transceiver (so it can send & receive) with 1GbE connection. It is developed by Fairwaves team to be used as a transceiver for OpenBTS GSM base stations, but due to its software defined nature, it could be used for many other radio applications as well.
If the speed of development continues at this pace and more and more people finally realize the benefits of open resources and release their projects under an open & free licence, in less than 10 years, there won't be any proprietary, patented and overly expensive, hardware-based radio left on the planet. Awesome!
