Ran a satellite node for a while a year or two ago, frankly just for the challenge/learning of setting it up. Didn't transmit but had the node running for about 6 months.

Cool. I have been researching it a bit. Seems like a luxury to me, but I may try to set one up eventually
Their online instructions were good, and I had corresponded with their support folks on Telegram a few times. They were helpful. Biggest challenge was getting satellite dish to be correctly pointed and aligned at satellite. Took a bit of trial and error, patience and very small incremental movements of the dish. Neighbors started asking what the dish was for. Snarky answers were always provided....communicating with my home planet, direct link to Epstein Island, porn satellite, etc.
Lmao nice. Yeah the satellite angle seems like the most tedious part. It would be nice to have the peace of mind to know I can transmit without internet though
