#sneakernet — Public Fediverse posts

With all the attacks on people communicating over the Internet lately -- from Iran out-and-out shutting down Internet access during protests, to Chat Control and social-media age limits -- I've been thinking about Usenet a lot.

Thirty years ago, when 128 kbit/s ISDN was lightning fast, I had a setup where I ran a local Usenet node on my PC. Every morning I'd connect to the university's Usenet server and download new messages in the newsgroups I followed.

How do you build a USB #sneakernet with #p2panda? Or sync over #LoRa .. or #OCapN?

Read the new blog post about our latest work around alternative sync protocols:

🐼 https://p2panda.org/2026/09/16/dash-router-sync-api.html

As part of our @PrototypeFund grant we dived into mesh networks and alternative transports together with our friends from Dash Chat and realised our APIs are ready .. but not easy to use.

Hopefully these improvements, docs and examples will inspire hacking on new p2panda "event delivery" solutions! ✊

As attempts to lock down "the #internet" grow, alongside it will grow the rebirth of an age of #zines, #BBS, #mixtapes, #burnedCDs, and other hand-to-hand media. People will bypass restrictions, even if it's by paper and #sneakernet or #CB radios in the wild.

#duckduckfedi : If you had the world's largest container cargo ship, filled with the most shipping containers it can carry, and every container is filled floor to ceiling, wall to wall, front to back with microSD cards of the maximum currently available data capacity (no packaging, just a thin layer of temporary glue so they don't immediately fall out of the container when you open the door to this solid wall of microSD cards), and you sailed it across the Atlantic from the largest capacity ports in the eastern US, to the largest capacity ports in Europe, in the span of a couple of weeks,
And you had the currently built datacentres running on the largest available diesel backup generators, transmitting nonstop at full capacity through the currently available fibre optic and satellite and copper infrastructure across the Atlantic, and you include in your calculations all power needed not only for those datacentres in the US and in Europe, but also all transmission and relaying and intermediate routing and servers necessary for the shortest, most efficient route...
Which would use the least energy? How would the data throughput compare in the time it takes the ship to arrive?

Is it too late to pop to the #emfcamp @info tent and send a #sneakernet postcard to the wonderful person who offered my friend noise cancelling headphones in the night market on Sunday? I think they were a vendor, if you know who this is please pass on my thanks!

The world would be a better place if everyone did little acts of kindness like that.

@jonty Did they shake hands at all? You might have seen a #sneakernet #tls (Transport Layer-Cake Security) handshake, where both parties presented their Public Cakes (their corresponding Private Cakes were safe at home).

@loriemerson Thank you for collecting all these #othernetworks wonders that open up new links and connections for me. Today, someone recommended me a detailed article about the southafrican example of #Sneakernet you describe in the book ... and I listened to a recording of #EarthMoonEarthCommunication by Katie Paterson.
