    Hmm, sounds like a nice tie-in to anonymous USB dead-drop sites and so on. Go connect to a tree somewhere, upload your new .snk files, download any new ones placed there since your last visit :)

    Maybe have a Meshtastic solar-powered node feeding new .snk files onto it too, from afar!

    What is the advantage of this over just dropping HTML files onto a USB drive?

      Feels like this is a modern day rehashing of the windows 95 briefcase system.

      It’s interesting but I think a distributed internet makes more sense. There’s no reason this couldn’t be folded into that too though. If it disappears off enough peers that it’s done, someone opens up the dead-dropped site and that new peer shares with the others again.
