27 days agoA friend of mine had to use Starlink when he lived out in the sticks, near farmland.
I do wireless designs and surveys for a living, and I still prefer my cables. Wireless internet for me is a last resort if you cannot get some form of cabled internet.
My friend told me about the jitter and the spikes in latency, but also if the weather was too bad or really cloudy then his connection would be too bad to even browse.
I’ll gladly sit on my VDSL line instead of Starlink and have a stable connection.
Also it means not funding Musk in anyway.


My cat used to make sure she got my attention before she ate from the bowl next to my PC on my desk and then would purr up a storm when I pet her while eating.
She would also sit in the bath tub and watch me the whole time I was in the bathroom and then sleep on my pyjama pants that I tossed on the floor when I showered.
I miss that little goober.
