In a disaster situation when there are no phones or internet, we might be able to set up a wireless access point, even with just a RaspberryPi. But then, without the disservices of Big Tech, how do we communicate?
You need to know who is who on your makeshift network, a pattern called "discovery." Then when you know who to connect with, how do people set up a minimal (group) chat session, even in a terminal, without installing anything.
That's what we're trying to figure out.
@JulianOliver
Perhaps one person in the group has a radio and wants to keep the connected group posted on the news?
@JulianOliver
Or how to send e-mail (complete with binary attachments) without G- or Hotmail, even if you could `wget` them?
This one we haven't figured out yet, because some discretion might be required.
@JulianOliver
And when you use a Big Tech browser, it will panic that the connections are not secure and they can't let you do this!
@gert This is a big topic.
I lectured on this recently to a disaster response group in Wellington, and will again here in December. https://beautifulsignals.nz/#slide=5
