@NerdyDad said in Musk went on firing spree over slow satellite broadband progress:

@scottalanmiller You don't have to go all that far to find really crappy Internet, even though we aren't even in the slightest of poorest countries. Glad to see that somebody is doing something with all of their money and power to help the rest of humanity.

Yeah, but even rural America with the worst options, you have the options of leased lines, bad satellite, moving, fixed wifi, etc. It's awful, but never as limited as being in a country where free Internet (free as in freedom) doesn't exist, or there is no provider at all that you can legally use.

A weakness is Katello is a huge pain to set up. I literally used forklift to get a Vagrant box up and then used that Vagrant box as a long living VM.

We had Red Hat come out and setup Satellite for us.

Cheater :winking_face: yeah I can see why you would want that. I wouldnt want to do that myself in prod without someone there

It is, it's good for the US but for the world, too. This could completely change Internet access across the globe.

DIY Raspberry Pi Outernet Satellite Receiver Assembly & Testing | #EduCase Project Build

Well, you could do that with nearly every piece of hardware (*). But Raspberry does one great thing: People get creative.

(*) just as an example, you could write a I2C driver for some external IC using your PC's serial / parallel port. Ok, nowadays one would need a USB-2-RS232 / USB-2-LPT, but you'll get the idea 😉
