Kickstarting OpMesh
What if there were ways for us to exist without anyone controlling the network or the websites we lurk around? What if I told you that you could use the same technology as torrenting to distribute websites irrespective of servers and that whole nonsense? What if I told you we could own the physical network?
Meshnets have already been around for a while (Check out the http://www.open-mesh.org/ because they have some cheap routers with pre-installed meshnet firmware) …
How to get to the channel:
1. Get i2p: http://geti2p.net/
2. Connect to IRC server: localhost/6668
3. Join channel #opmesh

Article on I2P, and how to install it: http://wp.me/p18FBY-kh

An article on integrating torrenting file transfers with I2P is in the making first.

Exactly! Tho we must be careful, we can each make our own decisions. I do not use wifi myself. I run a cable. But, my neighbours are running wifi and so I am still "sitting in it" from all sides. In Bretagne, our nearly-sustainable other home, there are no neighbours close. And I can make this Mesh run without wifi. Wifi is not a prerequisite.
And I can easily imagine thinking "frack the wifi waves" (for a while) if I were living in Lybia, or ...
User-controlled, private, secure anonymous communication between people everywhere is a prerequisite for freedom of speech. The field has to be leveled first. And this puts power back in the hands of each individual. "How to set it up" spreads quickly in Anonymous and Anonymiss. A bit of RTFM (or help from a script kiddie or local hacker) may still be required tho ... ;)
