gollark: <@184468521042968577> Actually, I had a cooler idea - inter-server connectivity.
gollark: Which I think is only a few hundred meters off, so they probably could run fibre to everyone's house from it, but nooo...
gollark: The right end would be at that fibre box.
gollark: Well, that's probably because my server is on the wrong end of a VDSL line.
gollark: Or an equivalent desktop for maybe a third.
