@linux any global mesh networks that could replace ISP’s?

      The problem with using RFC1149 is rounding up and training enough seabirds—pigeons won’t fly that far over water. Albatrosses would be ideal, but there might not be enough of them available.

      Hmm. Can we instead attach mesh repeater units to the albatrosses, and hope that enough of them take up optimum spacing for long-distance transmission? Or perhaps it would be better to just string a line of buoys across the Bering Strait once Russia stops being cantakerous. Then all we have to do is find a way to connect up Australia and a few assorted islands here and there.

        What about IPoverFish?

        Edit: IP-over-swimming-carrier maybe better. Let’s get an RFC ready before next April 1st

      Hear me out - you could run, like, a sneaker-net but with cargo ships!
