working from a train is always so fun

@rixx Well, that's just physics.

@rixx

It appears there are some tunnels.

[Gast]

@rixx I condone your choice of font.

[Gast]

@rixx those are rookie numbers. I regularly have to connect to devices on tenuous LTE connections in concrete basements where round trip times can be anything up 30 seconds. For the really bad ones we have a back channel that allows firing specified commands at them via SMS.

@hiker the ten seconds out of order ping while standing still near a train station is just physics? Germany has a really fancy special physics engine, then.

[Gast]

@rixx ur terminal is like a medieval scroll

@rixx@chaos.social That choice of font is amazing! ^^

[Gast]

@rixx what font is that?

[puniko@mk.absturztau.be]

@rixx@chaos.social ​​ bold choice of font

[Gast]

@rixx cool font

[Gast]

@puniko @rixx perfect to print it out ^^

[Gast]

@rixx Do ICMP packets make knocking noises when crossing network segments boundaries?

[Gast]

@agturcz if they don't, they are clearly trying to sneak in

@rixx the average ping to the moon is better than that

[Gast]

@rixx@chaos.social an appropriate ping to scribe onto ancient scrolls

[Gast]

@rixx holy crap I never thought I'd find anyone else who uses this font in the wild

[Gast]

@rixx Wait a minute, you didn't say the train had come to a stop. And by the way—I'm writing from Switzerland.

[Gast]

@hiker I'm pretty sure a 10s ping is never "physics", so long as you're staying on earth.

My reference to Germany was on account of the location of my train. If train WiFi on Swiss trains is usually this bad, then I'm really sorry to hear that.

[Gast]

@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.
