  1. “Building Canada’s first fully Indigenous-owned-and-operated fiber-optic network was an uphill battle for Brian Nakogee, WJBTN’s finance officer, who had to secure capital from agencies less familiar with the challenges of remote northern life. For the people of Fort Albany First Nation, accessing many vital supplies and services means traveling about 500 km to the regional city of Timmins. By land, the trip is possible for only a few weeks each winter, when the swampy tundra freezes hard enough to construct a temporary road. “The southern way of doing things is very different than how we here in remote areas piece things together,” says Nakogee.

    Telecommunications giants long saw little profit in serving the subarctic coast of James Bay. But even as satellite internet started to become available in remote communities, WJBTN staff saw the value in building and owning its own hard-wired internet service instead of relying on outside companies. Today, the nonprofit operates one of the fastest networks in Canada, while keeping both infrastructure ownership and revenue within the First Nations communities it serves.

    WJBTN is part of a broader movement among Indigenous and remote communities seeking more control over their telecommunications infrastructure. In the United States, 30 tribes now operate fiber-to-the-home networks, many launched during COVID. Canada has since created a dedicated Indigenous broadband funding stream. And as more communities pursue the expertise and funding to build their own networks, WJBTN’s experience offers a blueprint for what locally owned connectivity can look like in some of the hardest places to serve.”

  3. Fibre Against Constipation?
    Jammed roads and a jammed-up gut get treated in completely opposite ways. It turns out - to absolutely no one's surprise - that 'more traffic' doesn't clear congested traffic

  5. #gPWN: #Wiretapping #Fiber #ISP Deployments From the Comfort of Your Home

    source: gpwn.io

    GPON is the fiber-to-home protocol that carries traffic for hundreds of millions of subscribers worldwide (and climbing). It operates on a threat model that makes several assumptions that break in the real world.

    We'll chat about how it's possible to become a modern day fiber optic voyeur with hardware that costs about $100 and watch your neighbor's DNS, SIP calls and most-

    -excitingly, GTP-tunneled 4G/5G traffic from the cellular towers that you share a fiber line with.

  17. Good news, everyone!

    This week's edition of The Mutual Misfits Variety Hour, "Whole Lotta Fiber Goin' On", just dropped! Last week's* episode garnered dozen of views and notched such compliments as "I can't explain why but this is weirdly engaging" and what better compliment can an absolutely absurd trainwreck like this receive?

    As you might expect from the title of the episode, I discuss the early progress of my attempt to increase my overall fiber intake. I also briefly mention BPD, before I began feeling myself completely extinguish the remaining energy I was utilizing to record this episode.

    For those of you with narcolepsy who are looking for a relatively safe, drug-free alternative to a quick jaunt into a comatose state, give it a try! What could possibly go wrong?

    cannabis, (genus #Cannabis), genus of 1–3 species of aromatic flowering #plants cultivated for #fiber, #oilseed, #medicinal preparations, and #psychoactive products. Native to Central Asia, cannabis is now grown #worldwide in a range of forms adapted for different uses. The taxonomy of the group is contentious, with many botanists holding that the genus comprises a single species, Cannabis sativa. britannica.com/plant/cannabis-

  25. I've a #Question for the masses, and would appreciate if others would boost this.

    Its about #Datacenters #Green #Agrotech and #rural #Fiber #Internet

    We all know the story of hyperscalers. Slyly buy property, move in, destroy local area, increase electricity by a lot, drain aquifers, horrible noise and light pollution.

    I'm instead looking at a triad of the following:

    1. 5000-6000 sqft data center in smaller communities. Find industrial or decrepit land and respectfully develop. Heavy acoustic paneling. Geothermal cooling loop to eliminate almost all water use. Power completely offset by local solar.

    2. Virtual Power Plants. I pair with local (to the datacenter) farmers raising cows and/or sheep. I work WITH a few of them and install on their land raised solar panels and a battery room. They get 'discounted' (read: free) green power, and a seat at the table to the local operations. Will also work with local incumbent power companies to pay for grid upgrades, so the public doesn't have to.

    3. With local data centers and rented dark fiber allows building out a fiber ISP. Its more a secondary, however building rural fiber can greatly improve and upgrade a community. This also can serve as a backbone for more #Agritech like drone coordination, farm #IoT integration with FLOSS technologies.

    If I talked with local governing boards, and had multiple open sessions for the public, would you tentatively support this Green Distributed Edge Compute and Infrastructure ecosystem?

    The final goal would be to replicate this model across the USA, strengthening the power grid, increasing fiber access for rural and semirural communities, and providing a distributed mesh of compute so that you are no further than 5-10 ms away from local powerful compute.

  26. Researchers say #birds in #Ukraine are weaving discarded #fiber- #optic #drone cables into their #nests, offering a striking glimpse of war's impact on #nature.
