When the apocalypse comes, these mesh networks might be the only way to communicate. We must have an alternate web that serves these networks.
Systems for email, notifications, etc.

- notriddle 6y agoEmail’s fine for low-bandwidth, high-latency mesh wireless. IRC and Gopher are not. The latency, and potential unreliability, would kill it.
