Comment on Ham radio operators trying to help connect families after Helene
invalidusernamelol@hexbear.net 2 days agoThe star links sucked anyways. Can really only handle like 100 connections before they overheat and they put them all on 192.168.0.0/24 address space so when you have 500+ people trying to connect it just straight up didn’t work.
Luckily switching to 10.0.1.0/16 is easy, but most of the people they were handed out to didn’t know that. Meanwhile HAM radio just works.

@invalidusernamelol @K0STK@lemmy.radio You're making the typical hammy claim of technical superiority which completely ignores reality.
