  • Elon Musk Is Charging Starlink Customers Gigantic Bogus Fees Because Its Network Is Being Crushed by “High Demand”

  • Public utility district (although sometimes "people's utility district"). Used for utilities like water lines, sewer lines, and fiber. Typically the cost is paid by a group of neighbors, an entire neighborhood, or it can be county wide as well. Usually also subsidized by the county, state, or federal government to help reduce cost.

  • Starlink will enshittify like all other non-PUD ISPs. This article shows that, and it's already begun to struggle with throughput and scaling it is becoming more and more of a challenge.

    There is one alternative that has been shown to be better than anything else: PUD projects which treat internet access as a utility and not something to make more and more money off of. The FCC has rural grants for ISPs that serve rural areas, but instead of exclusively funding PUD projects, they keep giving money to big for-profit ISPs (like Starlink).

    Starlink should be considered a band-aid and only something that you'd need when you were in a super rural area without other utilities. The solution is giving everyone with grid connections public fiber via PUDs.

    I know we don't live in a utopia where that will happen overnight, and we don't have an FCC that gives a shit. But the FCC should not be giving a trillionaire taxpayer dollars for a half-baked, polluting, wasteful service that will ultimately do the same rugpull that other private ISPs have done.

  • Ebay, particularly GoHardDrives, or sometimes you'll find new drives from random sellers.

    I also check ServerPartDeals. Drives are pricy these days, don't sneeze near your NAS.

    Edit: I'm not sure if they ship internationally or not, however.

  • They don't care, they stay anyway. They threaten to leave, but all of the stuff they like is where they're living now.

  • Do you also believe that because the DPRK put democratic in their name, it means they're a democracy? They themselves wrote it.

  • Interesting, I haven't had an issue with the browser extension (yet). Have you considered the emergency access to your vault, or are you just letting it ride?

  • To make a blanket statement about them leaving as a group is just as ridiculous.

  • Billionaires and millionaires generally like being around infrastructure and companies. Something that only left leaning states tend to excel at.

    They have not been shown to leave in any great enough amount to actually matter. Unless you have something other than just 6 billionaires leaving CA?

  • Yes, but then he realized that showing his whole ass before his presidential campaign/election was a bad strategy. He's in damage control mode. If elected, I'm sure he'll flip back to not wanting it again.
