What do you call a 'sneakernet' but for physical stuff, transporting stuff (potentially over multiple hops) through people who are going somewhere anyway?

@whreq I was thinking in a more general sense than just hackerspaces :)

I know that turtlemail.app exists, but I'm not sure they intend for "turtlemail" to become a generic term!

@lnl True, but that's still more a brand than a general term

@joepie91 I think this is the definition of sneakernet, right? It's *physical* media after all.

@hugh AFAIK 'sneakernet' is just a description for transferring data over physical travel links, but in this case I'm thinking of goods, the same way you might send a parcel

@joepie91 @hugh

why not still 👟🕸 sneakernet?
just transport 📦 instead of 💾?

data sneakernet
item sneakernet

@serapath @hugh I mean, that's definitely possible, was just wondering if there's a more specific disambiguating term for it already 🙂
