There's a romance to the idea of living off-grid, avoiding the
bullshit of the modern web yet retaining the advantages of
networked communication.

Plugd imagines a scenario in which an isolated gardener is able to
keep up with a supportive community with periodic trips to a local
internet access point that allows her to post to and get the latest
news on a message board that can only be accessed using NNCP. [1]

I have long been fascinated by the protocol and this was the push I
needed to try it.
