I had a similar experience these last 3 months, I bought an RV thought I would toot around the country in, use a cell modem.
But I also want to work on my AI projects , which require bunches of nasdaq data. Or I want to work on a side project, but conda wants to download every dependency for every new environment I make.
I thought downloading TBs worth of media would be enough to make it work but I'm hitting my monthly cap about 10 days in every month.
Starlink might solve my problems, fingers crossed for that. But I almost need a local pip server that caches requests or something :S. And I guess an npm server also.
- caffeine 6y agoFor AI projects you should really consider a remote machine, like hosting Jupyter on an AWS box or something, rather than downloading everything to your RV.
- a3n 6y agoI've had vague thoughts of doing a project that might have similar data needs. A linode running my work would be how I'd do it. You only need something local for initial dev, and then observe and control.
- qorrect 6y agoYou know you're right, I was trying to RDP in to my local desktop machine but it was too slow. I found https://github.com/cdr/code-server https://github.com/cdr/code-server yesterday after you said that and it works perfectly, good thought thanks!
- mod 6y agoJust a heads up, some reports I read about starlink says it only works in one zone. So you potentially can't travel and maintain service. Someone did say they thought that was just during the trial phase, though.
- fearoffish 6y agoJust a note about Starlink: they use what they call “cells”, so you can’t move around with your Starlink, which is a shame. Maybe they’ll create a plan for that at some point.
