From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If you can get a few hundred watts of electrical power, StarLink is an option for broadband connectivity via satellite when all the local communications are down. Don't know why, but Star Link reminds me of Sky Net.
sorry, but I'm not willing to pay to that asshole many people here have already generators, solar panels etc and that worked ok here
Just in case you ever met someone who lives in a place with no cable internet (strange case in Spain as we have great coverage). Just let them know that in Spain they fund satellite internet that is not owned by elon musk. Is slower but way cheaper specially because the government funds a part of it afaik.
thanks for sharing
didn't knew about it but i guess most countries have its own sattelite network available
does the one you mention has a specific name?
(don’t know how amenable they are to individuals versus corporations (or just affordability in general), but a recent news article mentions Ukraine is looking at Govsatcom, Eutelsat, and Iris2)
I think is promoted by hispasat. But I don't know if they use their satellites or they hire others.
