The UHF app on our Apple TVs & iOS devices and the UHF Server in Docker to act as a PVR gives us everything for a few $ a month paid in crypto.
We haven't had cable since ~1999-2000. Downloading and the *arrs have kept us happy, but the better half wanted to check out some live sports. So IPTV it was.

I've used Claude at home for ages. Work was wanting to get some AI stuff for us and the only 'blessed' one is CoPilot. Everything else it blocked. All senior management seems to know about AI is "Hurrr... Copilot and ChatGPT."

Out team of ~8 (pentestesting & VA) were unanimous about Copilot being crap and Claude being the top dog. So some higher ups OK'd a Claude Teams package for work. To bypass the CorpSec tards, we use it from our lab environment that has its own unmonitored link and IP range.

Anthropic/Claude is just so far ahead of OpenAI/ChatGPT and MS/Copilot it's not funny.

Journal Journal: It is 2025 and Slashdot doesn't support IPv6?

I've been migrating all my stuff to IPv6 because I'm retarded and felt like (another) winter project.

So I have a Debian VM that is IPv6-only for testing things out, general browsing, etc. and see that Slashdot doesn't support IPv6? One would think a tech site would have been onboard with this years ago.

Starlink and cell networks are the same thing from a network access and architecture perspective. They have the same issues and technical concerns around scaling wireless capacity. If cell networks qualify, Starlink qualifies, QED.

Not necessarily. Cellular problems are often a back-haul issue and that is something Starlink does much better at. The flip side, is that I would not want to use a Starlink in even a moderately dense area.

They might have cell service, but it is often a weak signal that is then sent by microwave from tower to tower and those links often don't have enough bandwidth for anything useful.

I have some friends who lived on a property that was only 10 mins from the nearest town of 83 000 people and the reception was so bad there that they had to go by satellite dish which had latency so bad that they could not video conference. They signed on as soon as there was a Starlink beta program in their area and I heard from them that getting StarLink was a life changer even with the early glitches.
