fun fact: street vehicles are still being used to transport data around. for large amounts of data, it’s faster and cheaper to write it on a disk, then ship the disk, instead of transporting it over the internet.
I just noticed the MTU for the interface in the article. If nobody has suggested this already I’ll be disappointed, but I propose that instead of jumbo frames we call them dumbo frames, when it relates to IPoAC using printed paper as the medium.
One time I looked at a 1tb microSD card and decided there was no fucking way that much data could fit into something so small. Ever since that day, no microSD card has worked for me. They get I/O errors, each one. Suspecting this isn’t a coincidence might be my most schizophrenic thought.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a Ford Taurus full of tapes screaming down the Jersey Turnpike.
I remember someone put a Micro SD card on a pigeon and sent it. Was faster.

You should not have doubted that card, now they’re all taking their revenge
This morning my external SSD won’t mount. This is getting fuckin spooky
Could you doubt global warming or Trump? I mean you have a power, and with great power comes great responsibility. Stop only destroying electronics 😉
Alright, I’ll take a flying fuck at it. I guess check headlines in an hour.
wait until you learn about the information density of DNA
I’d better go find out and balk at that too, free vasectomy if it works
Ah, classic sneakernet!
