my solution was old laptop running Apollo and running moonlight on my Linux PC - use office that way. It's not ideal, but it works fine for me

Refurb servers will still blast AWS, and spares are easy to source.
I know HE.net does a rack for like $500/mo intro price and that comes with a 1G internet feed as well.
I have been meaning to try it out
Considering a cable from singapore <> LA direct can run up $1.4bn USD. I think author needs a lot more research.
1. route planning takes a long time, the ocean floor moves (see: Fault Lines, Underwater Volcanos, pesky fisherman) 2. The ships do move _ a lot_ even with fancy station keeping and stabilisation. 3. cables get broken - a lot. Even now there's 10-15 faults globally on submarine cables. There are companies (See: Optic Marine) who operate fleets of vessels to lay and maintain cables. I'm sure the HVDC industry has the same.
Cool idea, I have been pondering it a lot myself, I figured maybe a ground return HVDC cable might be better for inter-country power grid links.
I know Sun Cable out of Australia want to build a subsea powercable to sell energy into ASEAN.
Bearing in mind we also couldn't just "apt-get upgrade" in place, most boxes required hard reboots to apply the patches.
The answer to your question is no, as per a few others have said, Don't violate Rule #1. We see bad actors very often, our job is to keep the bits flowing and the internet online.
Keeping the internet online is painful enough as it is without "researchers" dropping thousands of routers to "prove a point."
a single cable system under construction(which we are buying part of) (there are over 30) has over 120t of capacity @400G waves, but we are already discussing doing 800G waves, which will double that. We currently operate on over 7 submarine cables, one of the landing stations we operate out of has over 10 cable landing which is over 850T of capacity across all cables.
Most of my metro DF backhaul can push 16-19T down a single pair, and most of my builds are 1728 core fiber.
Starlink is very cool, it will connect ALOT of under served or simply not served people across the world, but the notion that it will even have the slightest chance at dinting the Subsea cable market is laughable.
For example: Australian Gas consumers pay more to use natural gas in Australia, than people in Japan, using Australian LNG.
I wonder if there's an opensource version in the wild.
I run FRR Routing punching 400gbit+ @ 75% CPU load on FreeBSD 12.
On the same hardware, Debian fell over at 1.8gbit.
