I know you’re looking for a technical solution but have you considered just yelling across the cabin at each other?

How much does torque come into play when you’re carrying your bike upstairs?

Please forgive me, as a Debian user I’m prone to senior moments and will soon have my driving license legally revoked.

It’s not p2p but at least many years ago:

SMS.

If the Internet outage is local then the towers would still work and you’d be able to get texts. I went through a few storms where wired home internet was down, the towers weren’t giving me a data connection (no mobile web browsing or anything), but I was able to send and receive texts.

If you really care about what you’re asking after, do what someone else said and get a radio license. It’s 150 year old technology and every time something happens radio operators pop up some kind of emergency communications or bridge to the internet through repeaters or something.

I never used it for messages, but it could send files wirelessly

I s2g im gonna become one of those psychos who runs the oldest Debian that still gets security updates behind a pfsense with whitelisting.

So you carry the groceries upstairs at the same time as your bike?

Wait so would you leave your groceries outside while you carried in your bike?

The c7 has a usb with enough juice to run a 2.5” external enclosure if memory serves. You need to link up with the portable file server person and form up.

Five pounds is the grocery bag dangling off my flat bar.

No worries, I didn’t see that you were looking for open source or anything.

Are you mostly worried about the compromised American cell (and by implication other nations 👀) network or something else?

China has very developed bicycle infrastructure and massive public transportation compared to almost anywhere else. There are fewer car owners per capita than other countries. It’s still a smart play to use the hand of state to take steps to allocate the more energy dense batteries to applications that require them.

As I said before: Maybe these better chemistries that will replace lithium are just around the corner. I certainly don’t count unhatched chickens.
