Elevator pitch: five bucks a month buys you a tiny box with a lifetime data SIM, a battery, a serial port, and just enough smarts to set up a SSH tunnel to a remote server with email, irc, nntp, gopher, fedi, and a shell, (And maybe the Web and/or internet radio), all behind firewalls, adblockers, and a ton of countermeasures, wrapped in a code of conduct and aggressively opt-in federation.
