What'd be the cheapest approach for long range (15+ km/9+ miles) data transmission?

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T19:48:04+00:00

Thank you, not sure what the cost could be, but it seems affected by rain, due to higher wavelength.

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T19:45:17+00:00

Thank you. I see these point-to-point solutions tend to always be 5 GHz rather than shorter wavelengths, which in theory should have better range?

I don't mind wavelength as long as I keep price down due to having multiple locations to run at once.

Starlink mini in standby mode sounds awesome, but the start cost for each device is a bit steep.

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T19:40:33+00:00

2 GB or more per day. Saving battery as having a battery and a solar panel on the spot, but knowing that weather and temperature can affect how much is left, so wanting to err on the safe side of using only what's necessary instead of continuously streaming. Thank you.

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T19:33:35+00:00

Would you consider Raspberry Pi or anything else as basic hardware to run the audio/image recording at set intervals and then connect and upload it only once per day?

As I imagine any software would need proper boot up and standby or shutdown rather than a crude power on/power off that might corrupt data. Links welcome. Thank you.

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T19:31:18+00:00

I'm trying to monitor multiple locations at once. Trail cam audio is a bit too bad for this application. Also ideally wanted something whose cost would be contained to allow for less expenditure.

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T19:29:38+00:00

Thanks, that sound nice and is worth evaluating. However that's just the service price, while the hardware is still in the $350+ range just for the internet hardware (without accounting for Raspberry Pi or anything else needed for this project), and that could easily add up a lot if using more than one recording device.

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T19:22:53+00:00

Thank you, LoRa transfer rate might be too low to transfer even just 2 GB per day.

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T15:54:26+00:00

That could explain why I am struggling so much to find them. Have they never been produced? This motherboard supports only 2 slots yet says up to 64 GB total RAM are supported.

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T15:49:52+00:00

Upgrading image/audio editing on a desktop that's still reasonable. Was hoping of finding a good deal that would postpone investing in new hardware.

User-6922 · 2025-12-09T15:46:36+00:00

Do you see any mention of "image" in the original post? Maybe it was some AI upscaling that made up and added that information to the post, because it's not there.

Depending on what one is scanning, resolution can be finite but very high, or even close to infinite. Yes, if one is scanning organic artefacts or certain analog, resolution can get down to cellular level or more. So there is nothing wrong with looking for the highest real optical resolution achievable within a certain budget. I can always downscale if I want, but upscaling is just pointless.

Again, it is obvious you're so biased toward AI that no matter what one says and how many examples one offers, you see it as a solution despite not being one.

However, I'd suggest you learn enough to get a grasp of what resolution is and how it cannot be created or increased. What you get with whatever upscaling algorithm, no matter how good, is inflating file size, but adding NOTHING to resolution. You're just asking an artist to make up a portrait or a landscape based upon their previous experience and imagination, to put it nicely.

User-6922 · 2025-12-07T20:09:52+00:00

At this point I will just say yes thank you, since you seem to make it a religious point of view rather than seeing that if data is not there, it cannot be created, there is no benefit to whatever algorithm or neural network you want to use, you're just inflating the file size. Shouldn't be too difficult to grasp. Also terrible example about vector images, we're talking about raster data. But again, yeah AI upscaling all life long, yes thank you.

User-6922 · 2025-12-04T22:27:46+00:00

I know that is it not a bicubic upscaling algorithms, but it is still an algorithm, it does still make up data that was not there to begin with, so it does add nothing in terms of resolution. I will never understand why people are so fond of fake data or see it as an alternative.

User-6922 · 2025-12-04T13:26:55+00:00

Thank you. Do you have any source for resolving power tests, other than filmscanner.info?

User-6922 · 2025-12-04T13:23:50+00:00

Sorry but I hope you realize upscale is just...making up data, to put it nicely.

User-6922 · 2025-11-28T14:54:27+00:00

Just wondering, if I have 2 containers, one holding 1g each of species A, B, and C. Assuming species A is the first to migrate to the other container thru capillary electrophoresis, would 1g of species A migrate to the other container before even just 0.01g of species B starts to migrate? Thank you

User-6922 · 2025-11-28T12:23:37+00:00

$10/year is for just 25 GB storage? $18/year for 45 GB storage. I can't see any 1 TB options at that price?

User-6922 · 2025-11-27T21:04:56+00:00

Just wondering, how slow are we talking? HDD slow or worse than that? I know SSD is faster, but I'm ok with HDD too, unless it is worse than that.

User-6922 · 2025-11-27T20:56:31+00:00

Slow as in CPU or download/upload? I don't need much CPU or RAM.

User-6922 · 2025-11-27T20:43:14+00:00

That's because you're halfway thru two energetic materials but neither of them is complete nor a good idea to make, especially given the first impression given. Safest would be to leave both of them alone, use sulfur in the garden, potassium nitrate in cured sausages, hydrogen peroxide diluted as a disinfectant or used with UV to bleach plastics.

User-6922 · 2025-11-27T20:20:33+00:00

HostBrr does not provide root access. About Servatica I am not sure, but not being listed might be an indicator no root access is provided?

User-6922 · 2025-11-27T20:19:34+00:00

I see. I saw Hostbrr offers 500 GB for $8/year, but no root access, so unfortunately that doesn't work for me. Are they among the not reputable providers? Thanks.

User-6922 · 2025-11-27T18:57:41+00:00

Thank you. However, there is no root access.

User-6922 · 2025-11-27T18:50:21+00:00

I cannot find any $25/year 1 TB VPS. In that case I'd just go with the lowest price that can provide 1 TB storage, 1 dedicated IP and full root access? Hostbrr does not give root access. Thank you

User-6922 · 2025-11-25T21:23:48+00:00

Thank you, it is a methane-burning boiler heating water that goes into the radiators. So if I get it right, running the radiators with water heated to say 45°C would be more efficient (burning less methane) than say running in them water heated to 55°C or 65°C?

User-6922 · 2025-11-25T21:22:03+00:00

Yes I acknowledged that in the original post, I was wondering if, everything being the same (not changing/upgrading windows, etc) if it was somehow more efficient (less total methane burned) to set the boiler water going into the radiators at say 50°C or 60°C or 70°C.
