I still dream that someday the www will have multiple smaller alternatives...

In my country we used to have huge independent neighborhood networks, don't know exactly why they disappeared... well, the good ol' days!

I have everything within arm's length needed to set up a Raspberry Pi piratebox. I also have a TP-Link router running OpenWRT that I might be able to use.

Yesterday I got DokuWiki running on a Raspberry Pi. Performance is fine provided you treat the Pi as a server and access the wiki from a browser on a separate computer. The same remarks apply to PiggyDB as well. Combining these with the PirateBox ideas opens up some interesting possibilites. Hmmmm, I wonder how well OwnCloud would run...

I predict that there will be some tinkering in my near future. Thanks for finding that, Midas.

That's super cool – the faq is very instructive: https://piratebox.cc/faq
