Now we just need some decentralised stuff so that we can communicate directly with one and another.

Interesting!

Do you know where people discuss things like this? ( I have my own similar protocol.)

[–] piconaut@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I don't. I've only seen a couple youtube videos covering it and other similar mesh networks (LoRa). I'm getting more and more tempted to buy some hardware and find out how it actually works though.

You know I wanted to defend America and be like no way of course there is 25 gbit...

But there isn't. None. Not even in business offerings.

Western & south Europe (not exactly all countries) has fibre in like remote villages.

My inlaws live in a small village (pop. 60) just outside of a small town (pop. 2793) in central Portugal, and have a good fiber connection.

And ever since DIGI came into the portuguese market last year, I have had a 1 gigabit fiber connection at home and 2 cellphones with unlimited data plans for €20/month. And it's going down to €19 this month :)

Yay for fibre!

I can hardly imagine the last few decades without it.

Reading horror stories on the internet about downloading games for a day feels like reading about a starving village without roads.

Same with GSM data (we had GPRS, UMTS, etc about when they came out). Or the price of an SMS in late 90s/early 2000. Imagine not having unlimited SMS as a teen.

It's wild that rich, developed countries lacked basic infrastructure, and then they overpaid sooo much for it.

Uh, most don't. But 1 Gb is common in cities, while the many villages have at least 100 Mb.

the photorealistic AI image model that they use looks scarily realistic
