The IP over Avian Carriers (IPoAC) is a humorous internet protocol that is described in RFC 1149, a document within the computer network community. It was published on April 1, 1990, as an April Fools' Day joke. The protocol suggests using homing pigeons to carry internet protocol (IP) traffic. Interestingly, it was actually implemented and tested in 2001 by the Bergen Linux user group. They sent nine packets of information over a distance of approximately 5 km (3.1 miles) using pigeons, and although the packet loss was high due to one of the pigeons going missing, it demonstrated that even the most unconventional methods could be used to transmit data!
This changes over time.
When I was a kid and teenager, it was mixed martial arts. I spent 12 years doing increasingly competitive mixed martial arts, became a second-degree black belt in my particular federation of schools, and became an assistant instructor as my first job. I watch some UFC with my husband because it's the only sport I understand at a pretty deep level.
I was also into trading card games, mainly Magic the Gathering. And still am, but it comes and goes in waves.
Although I haven't played any in two years due to work overload, video games have been a lifelong hobby of mine. From Nintendo and Playstation, to Starcraft, to Overwatch, etc. I've been so busy in the past 2-3 years because the macro environment has been absolutely crazy, and diving into the bitcoin rabbit hole has been another full time job. My work has therefore also been my hobby, at least for this period of time. All in.
Watching movies or shows with my husband, and discussing/debating with him about their content and execution.
Learning in general is a hobby of mine. I went through a phase where I read every major religious text, and a phase where I went through all the major world philosophies. I like to understand how people think in terms of what their highest ideals and frameworks are, and how they differ, and what their commonalities are. Back when internet forums were more of a thing, I was an admin on a religion/philosophy forum.
My take is that ads aren't going away but they will change. When you can monotize products directly there will be less available ad space. Some of the status quo with ads is due to the culture of "free". If that culture changes that will greatly decrease ad supported products.
