Back in 2015~ I used to read a tech magazine published in Italy, and a thing from it has been stuck in my head:
It was a mesh network, but unlike Meshtastic, its main purpose was file sharing (yes, that kind, but also things like guides or recipes)
I think the name was bird-themed?
Anyone remember?

@Devourer_ITA@meow.social back then #Ninux was a thing, I think, maybe that one? http://ninux.org/ People from Ninux used to be (and some still are) visiting the annual @battlemesh@toot.aquilenet.fr. Ninux probably used things like @batadv@social.freifunk.net or #OLSR over 2,4/5 GHz WiFi.

@Devourer_ITA@meow.social Only because you just reminded me of it, this reminds me of Chirp. Was a way to transfer things with audio, where the phones would make chirping sounds.
