hey, @lifeofbrian.

I'm in agreement. Search is woefully lacking. There definitely needs to be a way to even get to your own stuff, let alone others. Every time I search for something on Google, I end up with all the two year old posts. Some are quite interesting, but out of date for the info I'm looking for.

I've been following the idea of a meshnet or ad hoc type of thing for a while now. I haven't bought anything yet, but I am very much interested in it. Cutting the cord completely yet still living in modern times requires getting off the grid and circumventing the ISP. It seems to be the last piece in the puzzle.
