With communication still limited after Helene devastated western North Carolina, ham radio operators in the Triangle and other areas are trying to help people connect with loved ones unable to make calls or evacuate.

The star links sucked anyways. Can really only handle like 100 connections before they overheat and they put them all on 192.168.0.0/24 address space so when you have 500+ people trying to connect it just straight up didn’t work.
Luckily switching to 10.0.1.0/16 is easy, but most of the people they were handed out to didn’t know that. Meanwhile HAM radio just works. It can also support unlimited connections.
@invalidusernamelol @K0STK@lemmy.radio You’re making the typical hammy claim of technical superiority which completely ignores reality.
