Is there a way to directly connect to each other without using internet service providers?
>>
Ham radio. I'm actually surprised that this isn't more discussed on /g/.
>>
>>107542833
>more discussed
discussed more often
fuck my ESL brain
>>
>>107542795
dial-up
>>
>>107542795
there's alt-internets there's one where I'm from, I won't name it out of respect, never used it though, but it's like for actual tech savy people who knows what they're sharing there

>>107542795
utopia network on meshtastic would be really slow but still nice to have
>>
>>107542795
BBS but it's slow enough to make file transfers impossible and the technology may as well be lost. The oldest ones here might remember. I don't know whether I missed out on something great or not but that's how it was with nerdy Gen X's before there was such a thing as an internet.

Mesh nets are the future. Everybody should start getting into it. The more in the mesh the better. A distributed internet is harder to control too.

I am fucking old (paying for aol minutes with mom's credit card old), and bbs is a bit before my time. My uncles probably played around with it in college.

>>107543207
Which protocols/programs do /g/ recommend?
>>
>>107542795
a really long ethernet cable :^)
>>
>>107542795
LoRaWAN
>>
>>107543207
the government will just tell you that mesh nets are illegal and you bitch motherfuckers will stop using them
you are a BITCH. your friends are BITCHES. you are all bitch ass motherfuckers, and THAT is the problem

>>107542833
>this isn't more discussed on /g/
it has to death look at the archives
requires license don't piss off janny boomers or your location will be pinpointed and using encryption will literally get you arrested and fined if caught
meshnets better

>>107542795
Try Meshcore or Meshtastic LoRa. It's actually nice for text messages on minimal power.

But it's not a replacement for 10 to 100Gbit per fiber on your ISP.

Bluetooth.
I wish there was an app like what Nintendo did with PictoChat, like a series of chat rooms but offline only and only for those in close proximity.
>>
>>107544974
You can use Briar over BT but I don't see why that would ever have larger appeal as BT transceivers really are very short-ranged in practice. In almost all situations you're basically more or less in speaking distance anyhow.

Meshcore makes a lot more sense.

>>107542795
Direct dial modem. Startech still sells all the hardware you need to create your own old school BBS or UUCP network. Even your own personal (quasilegal) dialup ISP if you get creative.

Thoughts on Reticulum?

>>107546541
I personally have little hope for it. The protocol seems weak and the CLI/GUI applications for it even weaker.
>>
>>107542795
Yes. In a freak off. Only way we're getting out of this situation anyway if you ask me. If every 4chan user globally gave in to the heat of the rhythm, and we all just got in a ball of sex energy requiring numerous bottles of baby oil, just trust me it'd solve everything. 4chan 4reak off my nigga. Oh. The jail guard is here. Bye.

What happened to the second copy?
What does (102n... y) mean?
also, that'll be 52,500,000 (or 53,000,000 if we find evidence of the second copy) to the courts, but I'll settle out of court right now for schfifty-five.
