    You are bang on about having a redundant PLB seperate from other comms channels. I carry a PLB and an InReach when I am in remote areas. Partly because I’m often by myself but also…

    That’s a rather cynical view of it, and I note you haven’t included the first bit of the sentence. > “is a senior writer at Future Perfect, Vox’s effective altruism-inspired sectio…

    Have a listen to the episode. It's called "Shots Fired" and looks at the history of the Gweagal shield. https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/stuff-the-brit...

    This sounds like a job for Hugo, GitHub and Netlify. Simple. Easy. Free. You can even set up a form and get comments into your email. (Then just manually copy/paste into the markdo…

    Pity there isn't a single one from the southern hemisphere. That said, they are gorgeous. I'd just like to see something from the other side of the globe.

    I've got 100Mbps plan over copper with FTTN. Generally get about 96mb/s down and 35Mb/s up. It's great. But I'm lucky, and I get that. We play the broadband lotto, and it's not eas…

    FWIW (and I know this is a single data point), but my experience with NBN has been positive. It's also Fibre to the Node (FTTN) which is often maligned in internet/tech circles for…

    I agree. I've have much success with Ubiquiti - everything from bridges to really solid wifi in the home. And FWIW, they have recently started shipping a UniFi Mesh product called.…

    I love weather satellites. Does anyone know how GOES-R compares to Japan's Himawari-8? Also, looking at what these things can do it makes me wonder what the capabilities of the mil…

    I love Ubiquiti's products. They're easy to setup and cheap too. From experience, they're also quite reliable. The company's community forums can be quite helpful too. What kind of…
