So i thought this fits here, he calls the boat Helios 11 and builds it with very little experience. He docunents the adventure quite well and shares what he learns, and also shares all the plans for the boat for free.

AI can be fine, I cringed at the mention of Starlink, even though that's a case where it makes sense.

There's currently not really an alternative to Starlink for this type of use sadly. If speed isn't a concern then there are, but for typical internet usage there really isn't.
