I like the Bladerunner reference in your about.

same

Yeah, but the Blade Runner Replicants lived longer than most FANG coders churn positions.

One of the best Sci-Fi movies of all time. =3

what's supposed to be inferred from the link? I only see the homepage.

merlincorey•2h ago

Was the website the only thing down?

This community Starlink Status page doesn't seem to show any outage: https://starlinkstatus.space/

mlyle•1h ago

The funny thing with the community status page is that stations can't report they're down when they're down :P There's big holes in individual stations' history and it looks normal.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Starlink/ paints a different picture

Perhaps due to geomagnetic storms, though stronger ones have not caused outages. Possibly just because.

Looks like they restored service.

The solar flares in the 11-year cycle are at their peak activity.

There will be random outages for any space based equipment for awhile. =3

Why rely on something as flaky as the Internet for anything important?

Not sure if sarcasm or flame bait.

rowanG077•1h ago

I don't think it's either? Internet outages are relatively common. I wouldn't want my pacemaker or ventilator to just stop working if there is an internet outage for example. So I agree with them, for anything important(or rather extremely high availability) you don't depend on the internet.

bbarnett•53m ago

I was curious if any aspect of local hospitals, required the internet to validate licenses, for example.

I wouldn't be surprised if stupidly, something important did.

It is during a Starlink outage that one ought to cultivate the proper perspective about it, remembering to appreciate the technological miracle and marvel that it is.

This message beamed to space from an undisclosed location and distributed globally within a split second. (Now that service is restored.)

Not a time to get philosophical when your drone team on the zero line in Ukraine loses comms

Drone operators aren't human, who cares.

tjpnz•14m ago

Which is why they don't use it for that. Too susceptible to jamming and Elon's politics on a given day. All their drones will be fly by (fiber optic) wire now.

The Suns 11-year cycle is hitting the ionosphere hard right now.

Great for Ham Radio bounce contacts, but a lot of space equipment won't do well. =3

People still don't really know why the sun hasn't accidentally cooked us thus far:

Everything I heard about Starlink indicates that it's very fickle and unreliable.

bboygravity•4m ago

Everything I heard about Elon was also that he was fickle and unreliable and also hitler and a nazi.

Then I tried Starlink and watched Elon speak in interviews myself and realized I had been brainwashed by a propaganda machine.
