[52.36 --> 54.12] Are you getting hyped for the meetup? |
[54.34 --> 55.12] It's getting close. |
[55.28 --> 55.68] I am. |
[55.84 --> 61.94] Well, first of all, it's my sister's wedding this weekend, which is the entire reason that we're over here. |
[62.12 --> 66.16] And then my mind will move to the good people of the JB community. |
[66.30 --> 67.92] And I can start getting excited about that. |
[68.14 --> 73.56] But August 5th, for those of you that have forgotten or didn't know or just hearing about it for the first time, |
[73.66 --> 77.54] August 5th, underneath the London Eye in the Jubilee Park Gardens. |
[78.06 --> 79.38] We're having a London meetup. |
[79.44 --> 79.96] I'll be there. |
[79.96 --> 81.32] Joe Ressington will be there. |
[81.32 --> 84.78] And about 100 other people, 100 other podcast friends. |
[85.00 --> 85.70] I've got stickers. |
[85.98 --> 89.92] So if you'd like a self-hosted sticker, limited edition diamond cut. |
[90.10 --> 90.70] Very nice. |
[91.32 --> 97.38] I just saw in the London Colony Matrix chat room, one of the listeners that made it to the Raleigh meetup |
[97.38 --> 102.98] there in the States is getting on a plane in the next few days and flying out to London for the meetup. |
[103.34 --> 103.96] No way. |
[104.64 --> 105.62] That's so cool. |
[105.62 --> 108.02] He had that good of a time at the Raleigh meetup. |
[108.08 --> 109.68] At the Raleigh, as you say, meetup. |
[109.76 --> 112.14] Which, I don't know, I take that as a compliment. |
[112.36 --> 112.80] No pressure. |
[112.92 --> 114.32] The meetups have been well received, right? |
[114.54 --> 114.64] No. |
[114.64 --> 119.76] So meetup.com slash jupiter broadcasting for the details and timing and all that. |
[120.10 --> 121.92] I feel a little less organized for this one. |
[122.02 --> 123.78] I mean, the last one was 20 minutes from my house. |
[123.86 --> 126.16] This one is a little further than that. |
[126.52 --> 130.22] And, you know, I can't bring a tent this time and snacks and stuff. |
[130.22 --> 131.86] Yeah, I hear you. |
[132.00 --> 136.42] I feel unprepared when I show up to a meetup without Lady Jupes, my RV. |
[136.66 --> 139.26] So I can imagine, you know, like, oh, okay, we don't have the swag. |
[139.52 --> 139.74] Yeah. |
[139.84 --> 141.22] We don't have the, okay, we don't have food. |
[141.56 --> 142.32] We got beer. |
[142.40 --> 143.18] No, we don't got the beer. |
[143.28 --> 143.62] Okay. |
[143.76 --> 144.90] Well, I guess it's just us. |
[145.46 --> 150.70] But you are off where I presume is also your future off, new offsite backup. |
[150.70 --> 153.24] Or are you building something with the house you're staying at now? |
[153.34 --> 155.32] Tell us a little bit about that aspect of the trip. |
[155.64 --> 156.64] Yeah, it's been so exciting. |
[156.64 --> 161.32] It's been a magical mystery tour of England for me this last couple of weeks. |
[161.60 --> 162.54] Has it now? |
[162.74 --> 168.28] We stayed at my sister's, my mum's, my dad's, and now we're staying at the mother-in-law's. |
[168.68 --> 173.42] And each of them have had their own unique levels of what they deem acceptable internet, |
[173.64 --> 179.32] which is often far from what Alex deems acceptable internet. |
[179.38 --> 180.50] I know exactly what you mean. |
[180.50 --> 187.74] Yeah, 50 meg down and a couple of meg up is just about fine for remote working. |
[188.18 --> 190.58] So it's been interesting. |
[190.74 --> 193.20] The most interesting one was my dad's. |
[193.22 --> 195.88] He moved to a new house a few months ago. |
[196.74 --> 201.26] And his new internet was one step above garbage. |
[201.46 --> 204.62] You know, we're talking single digits down, four or five meg down, |
[204.62 --> 208.86] and half a meg up through DSL, ADSL. |
[209.22 --> 210.26] It's just no good. |
[210.40 --> 211.60] So he got Starlink. |
[212.06 --> 216.04] And when we stayed with him for a few days, I got to try out Starlink for the first time, |
[216.46 --> 217.38] which was pretty interesting. |
[218.00 --> 218.30] That's it? |
[218.60 --> 218.96] Interesting? |
[219.66 --> 222.38] I mean, for some of us, it's like a life changer. |
[222.70 --> 223.34] It's so cool. |
[223.48 --> 229.18] But yeah, I'm guessing not a great experience by that descriptor. |
[229.18 --> 234.62] As a city dweller who is used to the latency of a cable connecting me into the matrix, |
[235.06 --> 236.82] it's quite an adjustment. |
[237.58 --> 244.44] You can definitely tell when a certain satellite is direct overhead versus when it's off center. |
[245.66 --> 250.40] And so I actually took a time lapse of Dishy in the garden just to see if I could see it moving around. |
[250.96 --> 251.68] You can't. |
[252.08 --> 256.02] I mean, I left it on there for 10 minutes and I couldn't see any movement of the dish, |
[256.10 --> 257.40] which I found interesting. |
[257.40 --> 262.50] But if you put your ear right next to the dish, you can actually hear the motors kind of adjusting |
[262.50 --> 265.28] as it goes over, which I found fascinating. |
[266.32 --> 270.46] But yet, my very short review of Starlink, even though it was only for three or four days, |
[270.54 --> 274.14] is that in a pinch, it'll do. |
[274.28 --> 279.64] But I would never buy a house that relies on Starlink as the primary internet connection. |
[279.74 --> 283.64] And I think for me, it's been an incredibly useful exercise, actually, |
[283.64 --> 286.78] to try Starlink out in the real world. |
[287.40 --> 288.10] Yeah, you were what? |
[288.18 --> 291.94] You're probably seeing ping times on average in the mid-40s, hopefully. |
[292.16 --> 293.56] That's usually pretty good for Starlink. |
[293.82 --> 295.58] The speeds were fine, actually. |
[295.70 --> 299.16] We were getting 100 meg down and anywhere from 20 to 60 up, |
[299.28 --> 304.74] which is honestly, it's perfectly fine for big bursts of traffic. |
[304.86 --> 307.20] We could stream videos just fine and things like that. |
[307.20 --> 316.26] But video calls, which are real-time in nature, were not as reliable as I would like for a full-time solution. |
[316.76 --> 322.00] And given that I work 100% remotely, it's very important to me. |
[322.28 --> 324.56] So that's really the main thing. |
[324.60 --> 330.02] It's just the fact that it wasn't consistent and that sometimes the pings were 10 to 30 milliseconds, |
[330.02 --> 333.06] and sometimes they were up near 100, you know. |
[333.12 --> 337.78] So it really depended on what mood it was in, it felt like. |
[338.28 --> 341.44] Yeah, on average, you know, just collecting data for the weeks that I have, |
[341.74 --> 347.10] right around mid-40s seems to be like my average ping time when you consider the high end and the low time you'll see. |
[347.52 --> 349.48] And I completely agree with your assessment. |
[349.48 --> 357.98] It's great for folks that want to watch Netflix, and it's fine for a lot of activities online, really. |
[358.28 --> 363.48] It's real-time communications where it's still a little tricky, and also game streaming. |
[363.74 --> 369.60] I have actually done some game streaming, but as I'm playing from time to time, that latency changes. |
[370.06 --> 372.30] So, of course, then the performance in the game changes. |
[372.70 --> 378.40] Now, the one thing that is nice is because, like you said, Alex, it is tied to the orbit of the satellite. |
