The real takeaway here is that we are all bad at storing the kind of knowledge you’ll find in a troubleshooting post.

Perhaps there can be a Lemmy instance that scrapes and mirrors troubleshooting posts across other instances.

1800 symbols per second is the benchmark for shortwave data transmission.

Not sure exactly how useful that would be, but the latency is low: 0.01 seconds to cross the width of the USA.

A round trip packet from NY to SF takes 0.05 seconds, a fifth of the speed. Fibre is quick, but not as quick as radio.

There’s about 1400 bytes usable in a TCP packet, versus the 1800 symbols per second over shortwave. Lots of TCP packets can be exchanged per second.

I don’t see the value proposition.
