Mosh and NNCP will help a lot, but you need some good sysadmin
to set NNCP as the mail MUA/MTA backend to spool everything efficiently.
NNCP it's an expert level skill, but your data will be sent over very unreliable channels:

Also, relying on propietary OS'es is not recommended.
Apple and iOS are disasters to work on remote, isolated places.
No wonder no one uses Apple in Europe for any serious work
except for iOS development. Most science and engineering setups
will use anything else as a backend.
Most offline distros, like Ubuntu or Trisquel have methods of downloading the software packages
for offline installs.
On chats, Slack and Zoom are disasters. Any SIP or Jabber client with VOIP support will be far more reliable as it can use several different protocols which can use far less bandwidth (OPUS for audio) without having to download tons of JS to use it, even if you cached your web app it will still download tons of crap in the background.
And, again, distros like Debian have a full offline DVD/BR pack which ironically can be better if you got that by mail. Or you can just use the downloaded/stored ISO files with
apt-cdrom add -m /path/to/your/file.iso
This way everything from Debian could be installed without even having an Internet connection.
- greenish_shores 2y agoWell, statistically average end-user internet connection in Europe is much faster than in the US. Maybe outside some places like most of western Germany, but these are an exception. Europe has really good bandwidth speeds, overall. I absolutely agree with the rest, though, including the part saying any "serious" software will have such features (and better support in general), and I second the examples you gave.
- anthk 2y agoUSA it's huge and sparse, but Spain it's the same, it's like USA.rar. Crowded coasts, lots of mountains with a rough interior almost as empty as Lapland modulo Madrid. So, yes, you can have the issues on phone signal issues.
- greenish_shores 2y agoPhone signal? Okay. I thought we're talking about fixed broadband connections.
- anthk 2y agoDitto; I don't think fiber it's available at $LOST_REMOTE_FARMLAND_VILLAGE.
- greenish_shores 2y agoThis is increasingly often the case. Also, don't forget that modern WISP equipment allows for 100Mbps+ speeds for a price next to nothing (Ubiquiti, MikroTik).
