HelloRoot@lemy.lol 2 days agoafaik the Ruhr Universiry of Bochum has an intranet that connects the uni and all the dorms. And they selfhost a couple of services, like email, git and pastebin. You can see a line going to the dorms on the graph.

Yeah, German Universities have special direct internet access via the “Hochschulnetz”. We had some pretty fancy 5ghz directional wifi connections over several km connecting to it, but it war fairly slow (shared 10 mbit), which made that impractical for most private internet use.

Universities all over the world own their fair share of regional and national network. They also host a lot of services however in most of study field the student are not educated about it and go for corporate solutions. Professor may know about it but they are not sensibilised enough to understand they should teach to choose these tools
