Maybe good old UUCP could be used for email, like in the past, and
Usenet too. Thus allowing people to run it from home, with the

UUCP isn't really P2P unless you configure each login for every peer.
Classic UUCP relied a lot on other's servers as hops between sender
and recipient.  There is a config option for unknown systems, but I
cannot guess how to use it.  In contrast to anonymous UUCP one would
need to know whom to reply to and that then again would need to set
up that connection.  That still looks like config hell in a P2P case
to me.

Ah, understand. So this is then no option, I guess. At least I do not
like to fiddle around to much, in order to get batches at evenings.
 

Plain SMTP over some encrypted mesh would be far easier.  That mesh
just has to be found.

I remember that when they had a catastrophe in Italy that they set-up
Mesh Networks to communicate, because local Internet was down IIRC.

I wonder how they communicated over the mesh ...
 

Do you know why the Tor devs are swithing to Rust, after all the
years?

They declare the C version being unmaintainable and praise Rust now.

Ah ja.
