Nice, modern day samizdat. Looks simple enough to use. I wonder if there’s a Linux distro that includes tools like this. It’s not a bad idea.

my cellphone has been named “sneakernet” for years. it’s a throwback to a time when it was faster to walk a zip disk across campus than it was to send it.

Cool and reminds me of a project from like 15 years ago. Forgot what it was called but basically it was just people hiding thumb drives and finding them like a geocache. Fun idea but then I remember Stuxnet and I'm like nah. Edit: found it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_dead_drop Pirate box is mentioned on that page. I forgot about that. I used to carry around an old android phone running pirate box. Sometimes people would connect at a coffee shop and that's how I found out about the band Death Grips

hahahaa

How does it work in practice is it like a whisper protocol for distributing sites among different USB drives. So my USB will start storing other sites when I meet someone to exchange data?
