Robin HoodData storage is getting so small and light now that pigeon-net is looking more and more feasible
*strapping a 4TB SD card to a carrier pigeon*
”hehehe flappy drive”
Erkhyan@robinhood Probably still has a better data bandwidth than my ISP.
Nerd That Talks Good@erkhyan @robinhood you dropped this.
Ashlyn, the Cyberfoxxo 
@erkhyan @robinhood it's actually got one of the highest throughputs available. IPoAC is an actual (kinda joke) standard.
unlofl [Promoted Toot]@robinhood This is actually super viable apocalypse tech, regional semi-daily email delivery via carrier pigeon. You go to your local village aviary/wifi hotspot, send/receive your email from an email client like the old days, and various birds are dispatched every morning.
Email over HAM radio would also work for text messages, but if you want to send photos or attachments you'd need a pigeon.
Cyber YukiHello, adventurer! Your quest is to hunt the eagle that lives at the top of Death Peak and retrieving one our data drives there. And if possible, the pigeon's tag so we can do a proper farewell.
Your reward will be 200 gold.
@yuki2501 @robinhood ok, also, every pigeon duplicates the last 2-3 pigeons worth of data, some redundancy solves a lot of problems.
They say the mail must go through rain or shine, but we draw the line at battling giant birds on geographic features named "death" anything.
filid@unlofl @yuki2501 @robinhood This problem is already solved
IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2549
And already tested in real life

Alan @robinhood This unironically might be better than some rural satellite internet providers. 5gb monthly data cap for $100 a month? Oh please I have 4tb pigeon net with more dank maymay's and games than your satellite service could ever provide with the same latency.
Colin@alan @robinhood Thank you IPoAC!
RobCorneliusIP over avian carrier is actually a good way to do things and has been implemented at least twice to my knowledge.

Connie Ko@robinhood I hate that I laughed at this. Thanks.
@robinhood give it an espresso and make it a Zip drive.

@robinhood mfw still no >=2T microsds (there are 4T cfexpress cards though)
@robinhood or RFC 2549 finally does jumbo packets 😆
Dickenhobelix@robinhood Cloud Data storage...
ZED@robinhood I'm sure this is happening somewhere
Lyo Faelan @robinhood something something never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon filled with tapes flying down the freeway

Carrier Pigeon Faster Than Broadband Internet
(PhysOrg.com) -- In South Africa, a carrier pigeon carrying a 4GB memory stick proved to be faster than the ADSL service from the country's biggest web firm, Telkom. Winston the pigeon took one hour and eight minutes to carry the data across the 60-mile course, and it took another hour to upload the data. During the same time, the ADSL had sent just 4% of the data.
