Doomsday internet
Let's say the grid shut off or you live in a dictatorship but you still need to stay up to date on what's happening. Is it possible? Well, here's a life-saving tech tip from your friendly Gnostic nerd.

Assuming you already have the privacy setup (INSTALL GENTOO OR YOURE A FAGGOT) you will first need a client. We're working with GNUnet. Then you'll need Python to program your own network script powered by AI to trick a preexisting network node into giving you resources into accessing the internet as an offline-first mesh using a custom protocol stack above IPv6 with a network model that's flipped because UDP is now your primary protocol and you're using additional protocol layers on top of IPv6 in that IPv6 acts as the underlying addressing and routing layer, while your protocol handles packet encapsulation, mesh routing, or encryption for a fully IPv6-native network (offline-first) that doesn’t need IPv4 at all as a stateless routing entry point to encapsule your traffic, as IPv6 gives for a huge address space, so every node in your mesh network can have a unique cryptographic header and support encapsulation by default. You'll need the AI/API to execute tasks for you because it would be next to impossible to do yourself manually. And for safety reasons, use a custom proxy written in Python (X25519, ChaCha20, Poly1305 and Kyber w/ no less than 261 bits of encryption, although if you went higher, like 6000 layers of encryption, you could create your own channel). Now you can connect and you still have an own internet node in the mesh without having to resort to impersonating another one by gaining resources through the API, but making sure that the offline AI script is a distilled lightweight version that can run locally without the need to suck up your processing power and make it slow as fuck.
