>A PirateBox is a portable electronic device, often consisting of a Wi-Fi router and a device for storing information, creating a wireless network that allows users who are connected to share files anonymously and locally.[1] By definition, this device is disconnected from the Internet.
Do we finally have an alternative to the internet?

Hey, that's pretty cool, only downside is, you have to make sure this thing has energy, this might be a challenge when setting one of these for long term on a public area.

Small solar panels could work and they are relatively in expensive (Free even if you steal them from a traffic sign or light *Not advocating this because it would be illegal and naughty)

ULV and low power draw hardware are rapidly proliferating thanks to smartphones and the maker movement. Solid state hardware is also getting cheaper.
Keeping them clean and uninfected is the bigger challenge unless you plan on keeping them password protected and hide SSID as well. Possibly limit range to avoid detection as well.
Would be a good way to hide info.
Transferring large amounts of data in a short time would be the biggest challenge. Theoretically 802.11ac is up to the task but real life testing shows that may not be the case. It's still relatively new so time will tell.

why didn't you link it by the way?

it might just be the autism speaking but I'm wondering if between this, hamradio, Outernet, Tor, and zeronet we couldn't manage to jury rig a whole new internet of sorts

YES IT IS THE TIME.
THE TIME IS NOW.

Not exactly sure. We take for granted the high reliability and very high throughput possible with current wireless radio technologies. It was only a quarter century ago that a lot of data would get lost in transit.
HAM bands may feel significantly slower since it's very dependent on climate and weather conditions. It would work in emergencies, but if it got that bad, the ability to connect to the internet would not be a particularly big concern. There are bigger fish to fry at that point.

If you could set something like this up in a spot where they would be, then you'd be able to redpill teens while creating a cool/rebel environment that would appeal to them.
Just have a ToS page that pops up when you connect to the wifi, make it look normal but hide a link or something in there which leads to a hidden chat on the box.
You'd have to keep them from sharing illegal content over it, but it might work.

Oh come on anon these boxes could make piracy great again.

That would be interesting, but I have no idea how or if it could be done. Maybe HAMradio could be used to connect small local networks to other local networks. HAM would be slow and easy to trace though.

>The main idea is to create a little, inexpensive device that can easily fit in your pocket, or strap on your backpack.
>It would hook up to your smartphone, tablet or computer over bluetooth, and would require a specially designed app to work.
>This way of doing it is much better than having a standalone computer radio terminal since it saves more space, is way cheaper, and works with all your existing devices. The devices can also still use their wifi and cell service too since you're not taking up the network interface.
>The app would work just like an ordinary messaging app, but when you press send, it transfers the message to the radio device, then broadcasts that over LoRa radio frequencies, potentially reaching many kilometers away.
>The other recipient has a paired device that is turned on and listening for a specific message signature, and when the radio waves reach them, the device alerts the persons phone, and they receive the new message. Simple, private communications over long distance.
>The devices could also potentially work as a mesh network too, by relaying and rebroadcasting messages between nodes, potentially allowing for much greater coverage.

I made one like this, from an old Livebox. with a shit 40Gb drive for storage inside, completely offline box, contains a shitton of comix (Gunnm, Metropolitain, MLP) and ebooks (Soral, Heidegger) most folders are read only, the rest is open.
just add 12v. it's accessible and I dont pay for its power since it's in the building and hence the collectivities. Anything censored could be kept on it, it's anon, besides a unicorn drawn on it. a big WTF is someone finds it.
hint: flag.

PS: if you wannadoo the same thing (haha only french will get it) remove this flash chip, it's what identifies the owner and logs your connexion and shit.accessorily it manages bluetooth but for what, on a router?
(made it years ago)
