There are several other posts with the same issue, some want to get the node id in the lru-cache, etc. However, all these posts seem to be scheduling an event, then getting with Simulator::GetContext().

Whether you're scheduling with context or not, events are executed in the context.  afterReceiveInterest will be executed in the context of the node, so the solution from the old post still works.
