- Comment on Is Starlink even good for online gaming? 1 week ago:
I’ve been thinking more about this: It seems unlikely they will ever provide a significant portion of intercontinental traffic, even if there is some latency benefit. The fundamental issue is one of bandwidth. You can stuff fiber optics full of data in ways most lay people wouldn’t believe. Using different frequencies you can put many data channels parallel. 88 x 200 Gigabit/s per fiber is no issue at all with components we bought 5-10 years ago already for our use case on land, and spectral efficiency is still getting better. A typical subsea cable will have around 8 fiber pairs, so 8 x 88 x 200 G in both directions for one cable is probably normal.
The intersatellite links on Starlink satellites are reportedly also at 200G, and there are three of them on there, but intended to go to different neighbors I think. I’m not familiar with the specifics of free space optics, but I expect both wavelength division multiplexing will be much harder.
So only applications where latency is really critical will probably be able to buy into that limited intercontinental bandwith. High frequency trading maybe. And then diplomacy and military, where the tapping resistance plays a bigger role than the latency.

The comparison to subsea cables can’t be made yet, because Starlink doesn’t work that way yet. You are routed up to a reachable satellite maybe at most one or two hops over the inter satellite laser links to other satellites (but it’s hard to confirm anything concrete), and then quickly back down to the next reachable ground station. From there it’s fiberoptics.

Geostationary satelites at 38000±2000km distance take around 125ms up and the same back down for about 250ms for you to reach a server, maybe you were thinking of that. My uncle has that on his farm in Australia. It’s bad, you can’t have a good IP based phone call because the delay is too long, people keep starting to talk at the same time.
Starlink flies in low earth orbit 450 - 500 km, so maybe up to 1500 km distance from you if its at the edge of reachability, for a worst case. That’s 5 ms, or 10 ms from you to the server. At those low distances the buffering overhead of their system will dominate like with Wifi. I don’t know how it works for Starlink specifically.
I think the real killer issue for starlink and realtime tasks is the constantly changing latency, and the handoff between satellites.
- Comment on Is Starlink even good for online gaming? 1 week ago:
I have a coworker occasionally on starlink. The big issue with both videoconferencing and I would assume also gaming, is the handover. Each satellite is in view only for around 90 second, then the antenna hast to switch to the next. This means that your latency keeps fluctuating and you drop packets every 90 seconds during the handover. It sounds miserable.

- Comment on Replication crisis, my arse 1 week ago:
I dont think that works. If i try the 5 ingredient set and get sick, i gained no information about ingrediences 6,7,8,9,10 (if there are 10 ingredients in total).
Wait why not?
Maybe we’re not thinking of the same scenario here. I thought we were searching for exactly one ingredient that makes you sick. In which case this result would tell you the ones outside the set are all fine.

Guess you only got a little trial period of lactase persistence, as a treat, but it ran out too soon.
- Comment on Replication crisis, my arse 2 weeks ago:
Can’t you easily reduce this to a compatible problem though?
Let’s say you have the set of foods you suspect: red blue green yellow brown purple
You construct an ordered set from this by making the elements sets of foods such that each set is the one to its left plus any one more entry, the leftmost set is the empty one, and the rightmost is the one containing all your suspects:
{}, {red}, {red, blue}, {red, blue, green} … {red, blue, green, yellow, brown}, {red, blue, green, yellow, brown, purple}
Now a check operation means eating the elements in the current set, if you get sick you go half way to the left border and update the right one, if you don’t get sick you go half way to the right border and update the left one.
You should end up with the smallest set that makes you sick. Subtract the set to the left of it and you have the food that makes you sick left over.

Who of them wouldn’t sign up, they get to harm immigrants, they get cover from the very top if they catch public attention, they get gear, and they might even get paid for it.

Yeah, if media companies can torture consumers they will usually try to. See also the Sony Rootkit.
In that light it’s actually surprising that the Gameboys never had region locking.

If you’re a dual national, you already have two passports.

- Comment on Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... 2 months ago:
Microsoft is being a dick. Booting from an external USB-attached SSD works fine once you work around the installer limitations.
When I did this I ended up basically partitioning the disk manually with diskpart and installing Windows manually using the command prompt. I used this blog post to guide me:
web.archive.org/…/install-windows-10-on-usb-exter…
But I remember I had some issue that made me start over… what the heck was it. Something like the modern Windows 10 image being larger than what the author had encountered. Ah - I think the issue was the WIM file was over 4GB and wouldn’t fit on the authors 4096 MB “Recovery Image” partition. So make that one larger (check the iso for the wim file’s size) if you plan to create a recovery partition.
Another bookmark I made at the time was this, I think it was mainly for the command listing the SKUs supported by the WIM file, but no guarantees, it’s been a while: gist.github.com/…/e8ce6306a038902df6e7a6d667544ac…
Good luck if you decide to try!
