Casey Carr is a security engineer and researcher based in Prague, working at the intersection of decentralized infrastructure, censorship resistance, and network sovereignty. Their recent talks explore how location-proofs and protocol-based messaging can support independent media and resilient communications in degraded or hostile network conditions. They are currently developing open‑source prototypes that connect Meshtastic meshes, Raspberry Pis, and local AI agents to enable community‑run information systems.
Session
Mesh News Network is a community-run news delivery stack for offline or degraded environments, combining signed bulletin publishing, nostalgia for Usenet, Meshtastic LoRa relays, mobile-first chat access, and local S/LLM agents that turn trusted updates into readable answers and daily briefings. This session shows how newsroom cells, raspi operators, mesh enablers, and ordinary users can each play a role in keeping local information flowing when mainstream web infrastructure breaks or is blocked.
