A parallel web updated through physical media.
That’s an interesting idea, do I want my website guaranteed to be fully downloaded to someone else’s computer tho lol

I don’t think there is a file in my Firefox directory that is Google.com but I get your point, that’s cache tho.

So this is just a “Manager” for offline websites?
muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago 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.

I would be seriously worried about malware on a random USB stick in the wild…

What is the advantage of this over just dropping HTML files onto a USB drive?
rako@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 5 days ago This is really nice, but I don’t understand what the willow part really brings, unfortunately
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!

I would like to try this. Any accessible way to verify that a USB pen was not infested with malware in between visits?

Give it to your friend first
That was my thinking as well. This plus a solar powered mesh could give us an incredibly resilient and decentralized web. Its like appying the concept of managing your feeds through RSS to managing your own personal web.
