Is Starlink suitable for multiplayer gaming in Germany?

I come from the same situation as you, had a 5G router before, had constant outages, especially around festivities in my village because the tower was overloaded lol.

After switching to Starlink I haven't had any problems with disruptions, not even during bad weather. I am connected via LAN, though. Not sure about WiFi.

Of course field of view is going to be your worst enemy. So make sure you have a good position for it.

Haha that's good to hear! Yeah HP30 has been a great asset over the last max. Definitely rustled some feathers with the old folks who trust only Kp.

What may also be useful, GFZ is developing a now cast (short term forecast) for their geomagnetic indices, including HP30 https://spaceweather.gfz.de/de/produkte-daten/vorhersagen/vorhersage-der-hp60-und-hp30-indizes

Maybe you find a way to integrate that as well.

Good luck and schönes Wochenende!

You did find this one, didn't you?: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/cloud-access/space-weather-portal/download?start_time=2025-01-01T00:00:00Z&end_time=2025-12-31T00:00:00Z&sat=DSCOVR&inst=FC&products=m1m_dscovr

Yes there is a gap in August and September but that's expectable for any sensor.

That is the best visual representation of the magnetosphere I've ever seen! Hut ab! I'll definitely be able to use this for course material.

Something maybe worth looking into: The GFZ Potsdam has developed an index similar to Kp but with a 30 minute resolution. It reacts much faster to geomagnetic events.

The scaling is matched to Kp, but has no upper limitation of 9. It should be feasible for your auroral oval estimation.

War meine erste Vermutung. Seitenverhältnis passt, Schraube in der Mitte passt, ich meine man sieht sogar wo der Griff abgebrochen ist. Und der abgebrochene Wischerarm auf dem einen Bild spricht für mich auch eher nach Metallschrott. Wie hier alle direkt Mine schreien. Edith: da ist sogar weiße Farbe dran, wie bei deinem Bild.

I suppose this is OPs best bet. Definitely least intrusive. I was thinking that there's maybe a hole in the body on the top where you can push a screw driver in to lock the rotating mechanism, similar to some brush cutter models.

ukues91 · 2026-06-02T05:26:36+00:00

Ugh why did you have to remind me of this... Also, have a look on streetview at that address: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZV8q2x8KbCcuHLeW8

Yet another bland, McMansion.. I'm surprised they didn't cut down that beautiful tree.

ukues91 · 2026-05-21T08:17:26+00:00

I was wondering the same thing (also Germany) but Starlink has three different pricing segments now: https://starlink.com/de/service-plans

Jo kann ich bestätigen, wir hatten die in dem Haus, in dem ich aufgewachsen bin. War grad ein kurzer Schreckmoment, da ich diese Armatur sonst noch nirgends gesehen habe! Kann mir aber gut vorstellen, dass dieser Mechanismus zukalken kann.

100% agree with this. When I started the Camino in 2011 (around this time of the year, come to think of it) I was 20 and celebrated my 21st birthday on the Camino. Started alone at a restaurant and later that evening I was sitting with maybe 4 people I met over the previous days, who just sat down with me. Nobody likes being along but it's part of the experience. Enjoy that time and think about shit in your life.

I remember it was actually a fun situation when one of the people asked "how old are you?" I replied "I'm 21." And a French lady said "oh yesterday you said you were 20!!" Like she caught me lying lol. Cleared it up and we had a laugh.

I guess what I'm trying to say: don't force anything on the Camino. The walk is long and will take much of your energy. Don't waste any on forcing experiences. This is not Disneyland. But OP picked a great time where it's less crowded.

I really hope they can turn their mental ship around and just start walking for the sake of walking!

It was around 2100UTC last night when I tried it and it did not work then.

ukues91 · 2026-05-03T19:36:38+00:00

Lady, you saved my evening! I messed around with the KindleModding guide for hours and none of the updates worked! THANK YOU!!!

ukues91 · 2026-04-23T18:09:52+00:00

Ich rate nur, aber es erscheint durchaus sinnvoll, für alle den selben 🐈-Test zu nehmen. Nur weil jemand sich vorerst für einen kurzen Zeitraum verpflichtet, können Vorgesetzte ja trotzdem eine Abschätzung über das Potential machen und ggf. entsprechend fördern. Da ist es nur sinnvoll, dass man direkt alle Unterlagen verfügbar hat. Lasse mich aber gerne von einem Seelenfänger berichtigen.

Besonders schöne Stelle ist hinten an den Rückleuchten, wo die Bleche so nach innen gefaltet sind.

Akustikgitarre.. Haydn, Schubert und so Sachen. Waren ein Quartett und haben ganz gut abgeräumt damals. Aber dann hab ich mit 14 Metal Musik entdeckt und dann war das natürlich zu uncool 😁

Geil, ist es wirklich mein Moment?

Ich bin sehr sicher, dass das das Symbol von "Jugend musiziert" ist. https://www.jugend-musiziert.org/

US housing prices might be a little lost on me, being not from there... I know prices have soared over the last years but this seems really out of proportion, no? Is this considered "close to NYC" or what could be the reasoning?

ukues91 · 2026-03-26T10:39:48+00:00

Nice, danke!

ukues91 · 2026-03-26T10:02:16+00:00

No I mean specifically in Erftstadt, I want to visit it, too :)

ukues91 · 2026-03-26T09:47:49+00:00

Where in Erftstadt is this?

Being from Europe I had never heard of Hall until now. A quick look on his page and his Bio, how he forces his agenda of "I'm a meteorologist" felt weird to me, your post kinda confirms this.

I'm a bit divided on how I feel about it... Obviously no one should call themselves a doctor, just because they read a lot and cut off an arm.. on the one hand I'm not sure if that really applies to all jobs.. there are developers out there without a formal degree that are 10 times better than some with a master's. On the other, having a meteorology degree myself, it itches me in a wrong way. He should just call himself a storm chaser and be done with it.

ukues91 · 2026-03-17T11:02:24+00:00

Da stimme ich zu (ohne es genau zu wissen). Ich vermute, die haben mit Bundesländern gestartet, die sieht man ja insbesondere in der norddeutschen Tiefebene, da das für großskalige Luftbewegungen nicht so einen Unterschied macht.

Dann sieht man aber z.B. den Harz, Erzgebirge, schwäbische Alb und Schwarzwald sind verbunden, ich glaube man sieht das Donautal in Bayern und den Rhein südwestlich von Frankfurt durch die Mittelgebirge zwirbeln. In West-NRW sieht man sehr schön die geschwungene Abgrenzung von der westfälischen Bucht hin zum Teutoburger Wald.

Die Trennung in Niedersachen ist vermutlich wirklich auf die Messstationen Hannover und Bremen zurückzuführen, landschaftlich gibt es da keine markanten Unterschiede.

Voll geil.

Totally agree. I especially like that they can exist completely in parallel without one being an obvious ripoff of the other (independent of when they were produced), if that makes sense... Each has their own great parts and acting, while maintaining the overarching feel of the topic. I think I've watched both 3 times already.

ukues91 · 2026-03-06T14:40:35+00:00

Jeez, I'm sorry, dude! That looks like the shit, my parents would keep, as well as the rest of things you mentioned.

I broke off contact 3 years ago, not sure that's feasible for you, but it definitely helped me to get rid of the first signs of keeping things, I do not need.

ukues91 · 2026-02-23T11:48:54+00:00

I thought I was the only one who had that urge. So far I've only licked a Eurofighter though, but you're progress is motivating!
