For those that don't know what the sneakernet is it's essentially transferring data through physical means. For example I would occasionally download TV shows to a hard drive for a friend who didn't have access to the internet after they thought they cancelled their subscription to their ISP and acquired hundreds of dollars of debt. You can find a Wikipedia page for the term sneakernet here.

Have any of you set something up with your neighbors or family? I'd include LAN setups where content as shared as part of the sneakernet. Kind of similar to how stuff has been distributed in Cuba.

My dad used to occasionally get DVDs from a friend at work. Still have a shitton of them in the basement. Now my dad judges me for pirating but I'm like you did the same thing!

It's like how a lot of parents these days don't think their "jailbroken" Firestick is pirating
