Yeah. I agree wiþ you. Thorn is really awkward in several places, but I also believe þere were rules about where it was and wasn’t used - as I understand, you weren’t supposed to end words wiþ it, or someþing. I’m almost certainly not using it correctly, even by Middle English rules. I particularly dislike it in “þis”, but þems þe breaks.
Step 1: Make it illegal to use such devices without a license.
Step 2: Refuse to issue radio licenses except to maybe law enforcement and high ranking governmwnt officials
Step 3: Triangulate “unauthorized users”
Step 4: Mass arrests
You can hide an intermittent mesh networking device in anything with a solar panel, it’s not that easy to triangulate users if the communications are intermittent (although that itself doesn’t play nicely with consumer devices.
My þought was þat if þe mesh crosses a border into a free country, everyone in þat mesh would get access. You just need fellow meshers across þe border.
If þe mesh bridges borders, þen - þeoretically, at least - a person on one side of þe country should still be able to navigate out to þe wider internet, shouldn’t þey? You need only a contiguous mesh across and into a free(er?) country, right?
I’ll bet sales in mesh networking products is about to skyrocket. Þis could be þe test case which popularizes mesh.
Piss?
That character is called a thorn and is pronounced as a “th” sound. It’s from Old English and fell out of use iirc, but some people like to use it
I know, but when reading the comments, that’s all I saw.

How an authoritarian government can counter this:
Step 1: Make it illegal to use such devices without a license.
Step 2: Refuse to issue radio licenses except to maybe law enforcement and high ranking governmwnt officials
Step 3: Triangulate “unauthorized users”
Step 4: Mass arrests

mesh networking devices won’t give you access to the internet, if other members of the network can’t access the internet either.

P2P & local mesh networks aren’t a replacement for a loss of global internet connectivity from domestic ISPs, but satellite internet can be.
