So basically you want something to spread a message uncontrolled over the mesh until it reaches some online node?

This could help and PirateBox alike device can provide a node to forward messages... until it reaches a online node

Sorry about the size. It was originally supposed to just be a backup of some anarchist archives around 2gb. But those essays tend to talk about other essays so we chased them. Which led to covering and backing up marxist and libertarian archives. Which in turn talk other essays. So it backs up quite alot of the historical radical literature. And at some point someone thought it might be interesting to see what happens if we added the 'further reading' citations on wikipedia's political pages. Even at 60gb the project isn't complete, but still at an awkward size given the bandwidth cap mentality being imposed on most users.

Still, for those who believe knowledge is power and that we need to generate a conversation beyond simply reacting to the news, then you should find this seed useful.

or something like that.

also, when we crossed the 16gb mark by accident and debated whether to keep going or not, we check to see usb sizes. We did manage to find 62gb usbs ranging from $30-$80. But they seem to got a little more expensive since then. Not exactly cheap cheap but hopefully that price point will come down, making this kind of seed more practical for piratebox type projects.

also, if people want to see a more exact list of what's included then you can load up these torrents. They won't be seeded yet but should be browsable in most torrent clients.

and just for robustness, we'll dump the magnet here. It is interesting if we can get a P2P library standing with a single magnet.

I pondered about that too, probably firing up something like cjd-ns and using simple dns on top of that could work.

OTOH, if you just want to make files available across the devices, you could use something like ipfs depending on the time you have to tinker or some simple file replicator. The problem there is that those are "optimized" for very large files and very large RAM beasts.

Could you follow up later when you found a solution?

That's literally the missing step. No USB required.

1. Modify tplink firmware or get OpenWRT 18 dot something
2. Boot into failsafe mode
3. cd /tmp
4. Download firmware (into /tmp)
5. Write firmware

Sounds like you'd be more interested in Bittorrent Sync. Basically it's like Dropbox and you can download torrent files. In terms of hardware you'd have to use a Raspberry Pi and follow this tutorial.

I was going to give this a try, but I like the more mobile and public aspect of the PirateBox. Also, my Raspberry Pi is now controlling my Gridseed miner and to turn it off means no money :P

I agree with delluna that it sounds like you need to expand the partition. https://forum.piratebox.cc/read.php?7,12665 Have you ever expanded a partition before? if not you can use something like Gparted on a linux machine to do it. If you dont have a linux machine you can use a Gparted Live disk https://gparted.org/livecd.php

I agree on the nervous part with the thumb drive sticking out. My remedy to that is this: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-SDCZ43-128G-GAM46-Newest-Version/dp/B01BGTG2A0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1483128438&sr=8-4&keywords=128gb+sandisk It's much larger in capacity and much smaller physically.

Like these?

$30 & $36 respectively, shares files over WiFi, MicroSD & USB slots, built-in battery. I've only casually looked into building my own piratebox, but to my untrained eye, these look like pretty nice no-effort alternatives.

Looking on their Wiki it looks like you still need a confirmed working WiFi Interface.

The two cheapest recommended are as follows:
