  • FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency

  • At least it's easier.

    I think Mastodon kinda has the same setup too, but they had all the issues with server-level cascading blocklists and stuff that put me off.

    I don't want to be blocked from seeing the posts of someone I'm interested in on another server just because the admin of my server refuses to block another server which refuses to block posts from servers where some users have posted "offensive" content, etc. - like it's so many levels of separation it's ridiculous.

  • The BlueAnon cultists don't care about the truth.

    It's crazy how polarised these sorts of debates have become. I wish we could have sensible politicians with views like Andrew Yang, Lee Kuan Yew, Robert Zubrin, Nayib Bukele, Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, etc. - focus on developing technology and building up infrastructure and institutions for everyone.

  • The government and corporations are the same class of people. The government could have prevented that with more conditions and involvement in the grants - but they didn't because they'll get kick-backs from their friends later on.

  • To make it competitive with local Internet, so all services work well. On high latency connections lots of stuff like websockets, etc. will struggle too.

  • I like that you can follow scientists and authors directly at the source though.

  • What about rural farmers' children who want a good education? What about Cubans who are denied deep-sea cables service by the USA?

    This is incredible technology that can help tens of millions of people.

    "Just be a rich urban American" isn't a good answer for the rest of the world's population.

  • What is the actual technical reasoning? These all have active tracking, I can't imagine it ever being an issue for missions (compared to defunct Soviet satellites with no tracking, like Kosmos 2221 and Kosmos 1408).

    It'd be cool if Starlink could also be used to replace some base stations, although I guess the huge power requirements are an issue there.

    It's a shame to see technology held back due to political interference like this though. Hopefully China will achieve it instead. Imagine how much this can help the developing world - like high-speed internet for Cuba (if the USA doesn't block it) and rural Nicaragua, etc.

  • Advice on switching from Kubuntu to EndeavourOS?

    Jump

  • It'll be fine, I'd argue Arch is actually more "stable" in the ordinary sense since it is simpler - in that partial upgrades are not allowed. So you never end up in a complicated mess like aptitude can be.

    I've used Arch for over a decade now, and have only had issues 3 or 4 times (usually from the nvidia driver).

  • Free ProtonVPN now doesn't allow selection of specific servers and split-tunneling in its client (+ workaround for Android)

    Jump

  • Yeah, for both OpenVPN and Wireguard.

  • On Linux you can do this with full control via network namespaces. I use vopono to automate it - https://github.com/jamesmcm/vopono

    But if you can afford it I'd recommend paying for Proton's services as they offer a lot together, or a low-end VPS (where you could do it yourself, although be careful to find ones that don't ban hosting Wireguard, etc. for example). Both are really useful if you want to test making something local available on the Internet e.g. ports for multiplayer games or a webserver prototype.

  • HDMI Forum Rejects Open-Source HDMI 2.1 Driver Support Sought By AMD - Phoronix

  • This stops them releasing a more powerful home version though. As SteamOS/Linux will not be able to support modern HDMI2.1 features.

  • It's definitely newsworthy when the results are being incorporated into search engines like Bing.

  • So that makes it okay for massively popular LLM models to spread defamatory lies about him?

  • What VPN would you recommend for torrenting?

    Jump

  • ProtonVPN for port forwarding, Mullvad for easy usage (Wireguard on Linux).

    I use vopono on Linux too.

  • This sucks as all new TVs use HDMI2.1 for modern features and modern games consoles rely on those for 4k 60Hz HDR, etc.

    So now Valve can't just make their own home console with Steam OS for TVs directly (and support high-end features at least).
