the somewhat bizarre thing about being your own ISP is that everything actually works?

@ilianaw you are your own ISP? is it a wisp?

@Duncan yes, but only technically, because I am the only wireless customer

@ilianaw i am confused

@Duncan oh, sorry, it took me 40 minutes to get that notification, you might have already read that

federation is fun

@ilianaw major lag. I was curious because I live in a rural place and my connectivity options suck.

@Duncan your options for that are usually running a series of wireless repeaters to a place with a decent upstream, or trenching your own fiber

neither is usually economically sensible (especially the latter) unless you can basically get the entire neighborhood / area to join in

@Duncan getting a transit provider and doing BGP is the easy part. it's *getting* there that's the problem.

@ilianaw thank you
