Recently in Spain we have suffered a complete power outage, with no electricity for a long time. Some were able to have power on their computers with generators, solar panels, etc. And I know you can have data connectivity with SDR or HAM radio. But my question here is, what are some good self-host/local offline software that we can have and use for when something like this happens. I know kiwix, and some other for manuals. Please feel free to share the ones you know and love, can be for any type of thing as long as it works completely offline, just name it. Of course for GNU/Linux (using Arch myself BTW). Thanks in advance.
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.
