What's more solarpunk than using old hardware destined for the dump to host a cool website?

years ago I read about a protocol to treat webpages like torrents.

so if a website becomes popular, it'll be accessed not from a main server, but from every who has seen it and cached it.

that would be perfect for "microservers" like this.

what sucks is that I don't remember any specific name for that protocol, so I cant search for it and figure out if it's actually a thing or some vague prototype.

PeerTube does this in a way. When you're watching a video, other users can stream it from you directly.

possibly, sad we are moving towards having like 5 websites, instead of countless small websites.
