gollark: Apparently yggdrasil gets around issues with memory using some sort of strange algorithm involving trees and by dropping the requirement to always find the best available path.
gollark: There are some experiments like yggdrasil and cjdns, but I don't know how well they scale beyond the few thousand random people testing it.
gollark: Apparently doing not-much-configuration mesh routing is a very hard problem, and it seems like the existing protocols are designed in ways which make it annoying too.
gollark: It would be neat if mesh networking was more practical.
gollark: There was also somewhat less carbohydratey stuff (bread/pasta) available for a bit, as far as I could tell.
