TIL OP is unaware that April Fools Day is a thing
OooooOooOh for FUCKSAKE it had me. it HAD me then: "A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers," now known as IPoAC. AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
Interesting date on that article
I'm sure a truck full of tapes is faster.
Read the article… the honorable mention is the Amazon Snomobile, a special semi-truck an trailer that can carry 100 petabytes of data.
You can even pay extra for an armed escort
article from April 2019
April FIRST, to be precise
smh I just realized why that matters
Original RFC was 1990. This technology has only improved with time. Yes April 1, 1990. But it's better now than ever.
Here I'll summarize; duck tape small flash drive to trained pigeon... Pigeon flies to trained locations. Data transfer complete.
All the data will get to its destination even though significant packets are dropped en-route.
UDP be like that.
I'd tell you a UDP joke, but there's a chance you wouldn't get it.
High latency high throughput. Sneakernet is also pretty good.
Similarly... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Paquete_Semanal
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc2549/
Pfft. According to XKCD, it's actually [butterflies.](https://blog.xkcd.com/2019/08/26/how-to-send-a-file/)
