gollark: I admittedly haven't checked very hard, but `ping 8.8.8.8` says `(DUP!)` a lot sometimes and sometimes receives the same sequence number twice.

gollark: Having a good antenna does help with *receiving* the signal from your phone or whatever, at least, as far as I know.
gollark: A wireless mesh thing is *probably* going to be better than basically no signal.
