[kwlug-disc] OT: "The End of the Internet" movie screening May 25

[Alex Korobkin]

Thanks for sharing this, I wouldn't notice this movie announcement

While the movie itself is not remarkable, it reminded me that mesh networks
exist, and could be a fun weekend project. Are there any known mesh
networks in KW? I don't see any mentions in the archives.
