One good thing that came out of library.nu is that it made people aware 
of the small island nation of Niue, whose main commodity seems to be 
providing an Internet domain for cyber-pirates. I guess Niue is to the 
Internet as Liberia is to unseaworthy oil tankers.

One of the technical things we always optimize is where to put our front 
machines. They are the ones that re-direct your traffic to a secret 
location. We have now decided to try to build something extraordinary.

With the development of GPS controlled drones, far-reaching cheap radio 
equipment and tiny new computers like theRaspberry Pi 
<http://www.raspberrypi.org/>, we're going to experiment with sending 
out some small drones that will float some kilometers up in the air. 
This way our machines will have to be shut down with aeroplanes in order 
to shut down the system. A real act of war.

We're just starting so we haven't figured everything out yet. But we 
can't limit ourselves to hosting things just on land anymore. These Low 
Orbit Server Stations (LOSS) are just the first attempt. With modern 
radio transmitters we can get over 100Mbps per node up to 50km away. For 
the proxy system we're building, that's more than enough.

But when time comes we will host in all parts of the galaxy, being true 
to our slogan of being the galaxy's most resilient system. And all of 
the parts we'll use to build/that/system on will be downloadable."
