But - hear me out - if all of your servers did have wifi - and it was usually disabled - but you could enable it, move the server, then disable it - that might be something?

I know having a redundant server is better - but there's something to it.

Also, this reminds me of a post I read a while ago about them moving a server from one building to another without unplugging it or something.

We should apply to the next YC batch as cofounders.
Why just Wifi? With ARM chips you can also have LTE in your servers! (Better check with the NSA first - maybe all the existing Intel and AMD SoCs already have some form of wireless comm built-into it?).
thank you for digging up the link, it was everything I hoped it would be. that one's going in my bookmarks.

obviously a second server and a reverse proxy or something would be less jank, but your idea definitely has merit. it's kind of like using two points of contact while climbing something.
