I can’t believe they removed the photo of a dead pigeon captioned “An example of packet loss.”

Thankfully, there’s an official standard for using the internet with just carrier pigeons: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_over_Avian_Carriers

I’m thinking 3/4oz #8 birdshot is the zeroday attack.

You know, pigeons probably do have relatively high latency but I bet a carrier pigeon could carry at least three SD cards, meaning a pigeon has hella bandwidth.

Truck bandwidth

Bandwidth is also impacted by distance though, across a school or town it would be incredibly high speed.

And high packet loss.

This is why you have to factor in the airspeed velocity of your laiden and unlaiden

What do you mean? An African or European pigeon?

But it does work in an electrically challenged environment when the latency of the internet is infinite. But it can be hacked by 3/4oz #8 birdshot.

I have a suspicion most networking hardware would be affected by that
