    What happens when they just cut the underwater cables? Torrent over carrier pigeon for a linux distro would take ages

      Pigeon latency is horrible, but the bandwidth is pretty great. You could probably load up an adult pigeon with at least 12TB of media.

      Sneakernet to the rescue. Some of you are too young to know about walking around with boxes full of disks.

        It was trading CD-R’s during my high school days… good times. Napster was just starting to take off by the time we had a CD-R trading network set up, Napster just increased the amount of CD’s that got passed around.

      A good way to see what the future of places like the U.S are is to look at places like North Korea, where they do exactly this, move files around on flash media to avoid the state censors.
