This is one of the coolest things in tech and maybe the most important too. Relying on centralised infrastructure really puts you at the mercy of whoever owns and runs it, as well as their enemies. Look at the internet getting shut down in various places at various times and big institutions like healthcare grinding to a halt.
When I have more time I'm definitely going to try using this stuff.
I think this is really cool.
But..
What it is: low bandwidth literal physical replacement of internet infrastructure. Often seen as a very extreme manuver.
Meanwhile: there are various overlay projects like i2p which, unfortunately, create new internets which [almost totally] reliance on the old internet. But they do cooler shit.
