I think you underestimate how much time can be wasted on the internet - you'll still have access to HN!

With a minimum ping of 371600ms, even surfing the web would be a pain in the arse.

It's not like HN goes stale that fast. That's simple. have a script that fetches HN along with linked sites hourly. When you want to browse HN, look at the latest snapshot.

Quick server-side interactivity would not work I guess, but there are enough sites without that to keep you busy a lifetime on mars.

6 min ping is acceptable for posting comments.

And to think people on the other thread were criticizing rms' browsing technique of having the website scraped and sent to him by email. He's way ahead of us - ready for Mars!
