This is the most glorious thing I have seen in some time. WiFi at 35,000ft, tunnelled through the "first name" field of an air miles account. https://robertheaton.com/pyskywifi/
PySkyWiFi: completely free, unbelievably stupid wi-fi on long-haul flights | Robert Heaton

The plane reached 10,000ft. I took out my laptop, planning to peruse the internet and maybe do a little work if I got really desperate.

@aallan Reminds me of Dan Kaminsky tunneling video through DNS text fields at Foo Camp. Just amazing.
@aallan anything's a tunnel if you're bored!

I’d forgotten to charge my headphones so Limp Bizkit started playing out of my laptop speakers. Fortunately no one else on the plane seemed to mind so we all rocked out together.

If I were on that plane, I’d be throwing things at them at this point.

@knbrindle @aallan @Binder back in the '90s I remember seeing a car with a sticker on it that read "Limp Bizkit is better than everyone." 😆

Even back then I was like, "Wut?"
Clearly the person had only and ever been exposed to *really* bad music. 😔

@corbin_lambeth @knbrindle @aallan @Binder Or maybe that was just supposed to provoke people/thoughts;)
@spitfire @knbrindle @aallan @Binder
You may be giving Limp Bizkit fans a little too much credit. 😆
@corbin_lambeth @knbrindle @aallan @Binder I like to listen to them every once in a while, are you implying I’m stupid? ;)

@aallan @drazraeltod my god. This could even be a layer 1/2/3 implementation.

PPP over Airmiles

IP over Airmiles

Imagine hitting „ip a“ on your shell and checking the virtual Airmiles network cards address

@LangerJan @drazraeltod It's the new IP over Avian Carrier. It is just begging for an RFC.
@aallan lmaoooo. i wish this didn't have the ai thumbnail or i'd share it
@aallan
You win the internet today 👏🏻

@aallan This is amazingly creative; I always love people setting up tunnels with the weirdest constructions
@aallan I stopped at “I’d forgotten to charge my headphones so Limp Bizkit started playing out of my laptop speakers. Fortunately no one else on the plane seemed to mind so we all rocked out together,” because it means either it’s a lie, and so probably the rest of the post is too, or he’s a dickhead.
@aallan This is fucking glorious
