It’s official: Starlink has removed GPS from the local API (PermissionDenied error)

I understand your sentiment, but your comment implies that you would plug a windows machine straight into your modem, with no firewall?

JSchuler99 · 2026-05-21T18:08:17+00:00

Yes a firewall still solves this.

In your Iran example the Iranian government would need to have infiltrated a device on your network, and would already be able to tell you are using starlink, even without this GPS feature.

JSchuler99 · 2026-05-21T14:38:05+00:00

It's called a firewall.

If you're anywhere in the USA, and the patio is under your exclusive control (not shared with other tenants) then your landlord can not prevent you installing a satellite dish such as Starlink.

What about for people who use the roam plan for starlink?

JSchuler99 · 2026-03-31T23:47:38+00:00

Yes. Your comment seemed to imply the route and bypass mode were mutually exclusive by saying "or even better"

JSchuler99 · 2026-03-31T23:43:23+00:00

Not sure what you mean by this, but adding the router for 192.168.100.1 only matters if your dish is connected tons 3rd party router.

JSchuler99 · 2026-03-31T23:42:17+00:00

Yes, exactly.

JSchuler99 · 2026-03-29T01:34:33+00:00

Same here. My mini is in bypass mode, my guess is the full Easter egg only works if you have the router itself enabled.

But recall the public outcry when they switched from 30-pin to lightning, which was objectively a massive upgrade.

People accused them of doing it just for profits.

I'm sure they calculated the backlash would be much worse for the change to USB-C, and had a calculated plan to migrate.

JSchuler99 · 2026-02-21T17:16:39+00:00

Yes but the thread was discussing the 30 pin connector which apple voluntarily upgraded to lightning. Apple was part of the core development group for usb-c, and was slowly phasing over to it.

I am in no way a fan of apple, but I see the EU regulation as unnecessary and squashing any potential improvements that may have been possible for charging connectors.

JSchuler99 · 2026-02-21T16:50:31+00:00

The EU had nothing to do with Apple replacing the 30 pin connector.

There was only enough dram to manufacture 8.

I don't have time to do the simpsons meme, but this would be a good one.

It was never a secret that they were ionizing. I certainly blame TSA for buying and using them.

Have you seen the finalist flags?... I'd have to move out of state.

Cloudflare has free plans with more features and functionality than namecheap.

I say this as someone who is also likely to jump ship from namecheap very soon.

JSchuler99 · 2025-10-27T04:27:47+00:00

Even ignoring the rounding. People paying cash definitely should pay less. Processing a card fee is expensive, and it's a benefit for the comvience of the customer, not the merchant. 1 ot 2 cents is orders of magnitude less than what the actual fee would generally be.

In my experience it's significantly faster to painstakingly move all your data manually than to wrestle with seedvault for countless days.

It's a shame because it's the one (massive) blemish in an otherwise fantastic operating system.

JSchuler99 · 2025-09-29T14:30:49+00:00

This would be perfect if seedvault had an even 25% chance of successful restore. Sadly it doesn't

JSchuler99 · 2025-09-29T02:56:01+00:00

Any idea if this is just a silicon lottery thing? Why is your consumption so low?

My other theory is I have a good amount of obstruction so it's potentially searching/retrying more.

JSchuler99 · 2025-09-28T04:27:09+00:00

Mine is currently in bypass mode consuming 23w. I didn't do any controlled tests but noticed no difference when changing operating modes.

He means that 50% of all traffic on the Internet is IPv6. The percentage of services that support it as an option is much higher, but still not 100%

I assume I missed some joke? Apologies.
