No mention of starlink? Even if the internet is entirely down locally your packets could be routed to the other side of Earth before making it to the internet.

Starlink is much simpler for the average consumer to setup than what this article suggests.

I guess being dependent on the daily mood of some random guy in Texas isn't really resilience.

Well IMHO it is more about if the infrastructure is centralized or decentralized. In a centralized infrastructure we are all at the whim of someone like Musk/Gates fill in the ______

A mesh network and federated services will not rely on one actor or server. And if you are in middle of no where and only a random guy from Texas is hosting, then maybe start your own node if he is unreliable.
