Nncp: Ad-hoc friend-to-friend delay-tolerant sneakernet-compatible darknet

  • I'm always fascinated by the various design decisions made by projects in this space. Does anyone have a decent list of decentralized mesh networks like this?

    Also, I've always thought that content centric networking would be a good option for these types of projects - is there any new research in that direction that people on this board are aware of?

  • I've always adored the cyberpunk aesthetic of surreptitiously passing SD cards around between people to transfer files, so I love looking at these sneakernet projects.

    I just pray that things will never get bad enough that I actually have to use things like this on a day to day basis...

  • This is really cool but at first it was not that clear whether the project is serious or made in a recent decade.

    Clicking around eventually took me here [1] with some cleaner prose, a publish date, etc although itโ€™s more blog than reference. HN will probably like it since we love to hate the modern state of self hosting email

  • Interesting, do anyone know if we can run a decentralized MQTT (or any message queue) over this?
