Fascinating stuff. Many places robustness is more important than anonymity, even at the expense of some of the infrastructure being visible to a determined attacker... I wish them luck. Long term I hope Freenet will have options for pseudo-sneakernet darknet connections, but that's really speculative at this point (e.g. no idea how to assign locations, need long-term/trickle-back requests and passive requests). Cell-to-cell opennet a la Haggle is probably enough for a lot of places, and even bluetooth is enough for sharing protest photos - until they jam it, although I wonder how hard it is to jam 2.4G given it already has to adapt to interference from microwaves etc... > > Cheers, > V. Happy you're still around. I'm gonna have to write a simulation of new load management soon, I guess I can't ask you to do it cos it'll take too long to explain new load management? We should talk about it anyway... -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
