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 it’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?
