Yes, tell him to install Gentoo and everything will be solved.

1) buy modem
2) dial 911
3) poof, free 2kbps internet.

I don't know a lot about the subject of internet blackouts, but from my understanding, most major cases were internet censorship rather than a government completely shutting down the internet. Dial up really won't help you either way, you'd want to invest in a VPN or something like that instead.

How can he install gentoo without any Internet?

The Internet is already down so they can't download a VPN... also dial up was used in Syria and Egypt so I assumed it would be the best option here too. (using a foreign dial-up connection number for example)

Packet Radio. If they live someplace cell phones haven't taken over, VHF radio should still be a thing for communication. Packet Radio is using that like a modem basically. Ultra fast 9600 baud baby!

Dude this is awesome! Any helpful info/diagrams on how to set it up? Google images didn't help much...

Ubiquiti radio mesh, but its going to cost a bit.

It might be good to short messages, but you might as well just use voice over ham, much faster.

This looks promising...

I have no idea how it works though.

Not going to get this sort of info from /g/ unless you wanted to discover Gentoo, try another place
