asciilifeform: | clitler's magick wand, see, cannot alter phys. constants... | [00:01] |
asciilifeform: | ( can't even make their shitware snoop in ~realtime, moreover ) | [00:02] |
asciilifeform: | in olden times, when they at least had shame, would tape deck in the very undersea capsule and retrieve with sub. today -- this , instead. | [00:03] |
asciilifeform: | imho would be interesting to formally map out these 'mystery' delays. | [00:59] |
asciilifeform: | draw -- map. 'why is vienna <-> zurich , apparently as far as moon' etc | [01:00] |

diana_alt: | http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-08-21#1929962 - yesterday I ran a traceroute on both (nosuchlabs and btcbase) and it was going via stockholm+london for btcbase but not for nosuchlabs (iirc it was riga and then s.america) | [11:33] |

asciilifeform: | hrm mebbe my globe is upside-down, but i can't easily picture how cable can run from riga to south a. direct.. | [12:07] |
asciilifeform: | i suppose theoretically -- could. but wai. | [12:08] |
asciilifeform: | last i knew there were 0 direct lines from south a. to europistan, at all. | [12:09] |
asciilifeform: | one heathen source (by no less than 'huawei'!1) claims -- that indeed are. | [12:11] |
asciilifeform: | tho, quite unsurprisingly, does not claim that any intercontinental makes landfall in riga (cuz wtf) | [12:12] |
asciilifeform: | 'traceroute' is of pretty limited use for this sorta thing, it will only reveal hops which behave as traditional ip switch | [12:14] |
asciilifeform: | ( i.e. rather than silently forwarding packets over atm or whatever antediluvian horror ) | [12:16] |
BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: http://ella.link/ | [13:06] |
BingoBoingo: | There's also the older "Atlantis 2" which goes Fortaleza Brasil, Senega, the splits to land in Spain and Portugal | [13:08] |

asciilifeform: | why not also run fiber to the penguins in south p. i suspect they can just as easily pay. | [14:23] |
BingoBoingo: | Well, they need to be oppressed through something | [14:25] |
asciilifeform: | they can watch miami-vision via sat dish like erry other sad orc. | [14:25] |
asciilifeform: | betcha there's some convoluted reason asciilifeform would never in 9000 yrs guess at, for fiber-to-africa | [14:27] |
asciilifeform: | maybe some living fossil, french colonial fort. | [14:27] |
asciilifeform: | or usg drone base, etc. | [14:28] |
BingoBoingo: | Well, Chinese colonial efforts in Africa are ongoing. | [15:17] |
BingoBoingo: | And as far as I can tell, USG to USG drones is the only actual satellite internet | [15:21] |
