Oh I’m so glad someone has already started working on something like this. This has been one of my biggest concerns for a while
Edit: Are there any easy entry points to this ecosystem for people interested in the concept but not familiar with the details? Like a competition to see who can get this up and running some set program the fastest on microprocessors found in the trash/recycling? Or what’s the most unexpected device people can get this running on?
An Arduino would give you a good basic idea of the lowest levels of computing that are still reasonably accessible. Otherwise: PIC chips and repurposed smartphones.
