working from a train is always so fun

@rixx Wi-Fi on the train has to come from somewhere—Wi-Fi cables haven't been invented yet. So the data has to come through the mobile network, and that's where geography and topology play a key role.

@rixx true story: we regard German train rides and using wifi there as a good test bed for our networking code's ability to work in slow and malfunctioning networks. For example two travelling contributors messaged and established p2p realtime networking between two high speed running ICE trains, to test robustness and reconnection fitness

@rixx@chaos.social Try working from trains in the Atlantic coast in the northwest of Spain ("Atlantic axis") using mobile networks: it's mission impossible because the train runs on a trench or inside tunnels. No internet during ~1:30h, only despair.

@rixx Back in the day when 2 Mb/s serial links between routers were still a thing, I could ping the router in the path to the world still in my city with RTT around 2 minutes. You could leave it on for a day and not a single packet was dropped, but RTT of each and every one of them was around 2 minutes.
Pinging anything beyond that router returned usual results.
