>much harder to provide

That's the real problem. HN forgets not everyone is remote.

The "provide" is easy these days, apparently, thanks to Starlink.

The "yourself" bit is a tricky bit, as where it comes to utilities, you can sort of DIY your own supply of everything else, but Internet is as much a social construct as it is technical.

Have they resolved their scaling issues that folks here have been raising red flags about?

Seems to hugely matter on which cell you're in. Haven't seen a proper public geo-driven approach to data collection to figure out what's really going on.

Should be able to do a lot with an HF link anywhere running at like 1200bps or 2400bps, which should be reliable on the same continent. (Not supposed to do that in USA, and won't work if everyone does it, but HF is kinda dying and different places have different rules, sooo...).

terminal, HN would be fine, a console reddit and the carbonyl chromium browser for everything else you need 'live'.

Too bad things have moved onto Discord from IRC.
