You can install a separate box running pfSense to act as a gateway, configuring different rules/load balancing etc. It also has a plugin ecosystem to enable additional features. That would allow you to size the box and grow as you nee

You can find a lot of info online, since it's one of the easiest way to start an ISP in a rural location. Google for WISP forums. If I did it again, in a very rural area, I would look into licensed 4G/5G vs traditional wifi.

I didn't have to (USA). You were able to offer 900mhz, 2.4ghz, 5.8ghz without a license. There are regulations on total output power of a device, which comes from the antenna's dB gain and the output power of the wireless radio in

Curious, regarding monthly download caps, has anyone found a solution to using a 4G LTE connection for frequent Netflix consumption? It currently burns through too many gigs to be a cable internet replacement. I was looking for a solution f

Thanks, I do need to! Funny thing, it was located on the same road where Tabasco sauce is made. I'm sure a tour bus passenger or two randomly caught me standing on top doing the (Brazilian) Christ the Redeemer (statue) pose. https:&#x

Just a side note while I was reminiscing about the pain of being an ISP. Here's a couple photos of the tower for this project. I got frustrated with satellite internet, and bought a 140' tower from the scrap yard before it was cho

Also, video absolutely obliterates a wireless radio. Just to keep with the example you mentioned, a wireless radio doesn’t necessarily breakdown into 1/10 per user for 10 users. 2-3 users could flood the connection, the building interf

I agree, definitely. It was an interesting experiment, and the realities of the then current wireless tech were so limiting, it was eye-opening to be on the provider side for once.

But from a physics/technical standpoint, a radio only has so much capacity. How would you handle the situation, if you managed a provider, and 10 people at a bar started streaming an NBA game in HD? Somethings got to give.

Years back, I operated a small ISP to serve a need until cable broadband arrived in the community. I had to monitor overall usage and throttle clients frequently with high torrent/video usage. It was also an issue with hotspots in RV P

Same here. Permanent silent mode (quarter moon icon on Apple, volume switch off). Have done this over the last 2 years. I spoke to an old friend recently on the phone, it had literally been months since my last phone conversation. It takes

This would be good to use for Medium posts, since the built in code formatting is so bad, especially, especially on the mobile app, since it won’t rotate to landscape.

If you built the compiler, can’t you just throw a few helpful notifications/logs letting a user know when they are using unoptimal paths/techniques? I’m by no means a compiler developer but curious if it could be more automated wi

I feel like this was written in this particular style assuming it was not going to be minified. I think it's ok to use this style if only maintained by a couple of people, or for a small project like this. I do like it's concisene

I agree, but I believe this is referring to memory usage, not data transfer/usage over the network. But that number would be interesting if more readily available.

I agree with those points. It may not be best for Sketch (design software) I was more referring to the licensing model, to offset the high lifetime price, that may put off someone buying.

Regarding ideas on how to charge, I like how https://sketchapp.com handles this. Instead of charging $799 like the old Adobe Photoshop days, they charge a lower one-time price that receives updates for a year. You can choose to

I feel like it could apply to pacemakers as well. I feel like certain qualities, features, annoyances, subtle benefits, etc could only be experienced if you actually went through having one installed, dealt with it every day, etc.
