I wrote today about how the #attention economy, and #socialmedia sites like #Facebook, are hurting our society and us as invidiauls. And I have been impressed about how the #fediverse has a different culture, probably driven by a lack of a profit motive around fear and anger. https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10119-how-the-attention-economy-hurts-you-via-social-media-sites-like-facebook

I've been reflecting - would #sneakernet be more popular if it were easy? In my post at https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10421-dead-usb-drives-are-fine-building-a-reliable-sneakernet I describe one way to make it easier: NNCP with reliable wrappers (so a dead USB drive or whatever doesn't mean data loss). Here are some scenarios where I think through situations it might be useful (a thread):

@jgoerzen Please keep reminding me NNCP is a thing until I finally start using it

@mike Challenge accepted 🙂 You can start at https://www.complete.org/nncp/ and my most recent #NNCP blog post was "Dead USB Drives are Fine: Building a Reliable Sneakernet" at https://changelog.complete.org/archives/10421-dead-usb-drives-are-fine-building-a-reliable-sneakernet
NNCP

What is NNCP? NNCP lets you securely send files, or request remote execution, between systems. It uses asynchronous communication, so the source and destination need never be online simultaneously. NNCP can route requests via intermediate devices – other NNCP nodes, USB sticks, tapes, radios, phones, cloud services, whatever – leading to a network that is highly resilient and flexible. NNCP makes it much easier to communicate with devices that lack Internet connectivity, or have poor Internet.
