community broadband initiatives are one way, but it's probably easier to just get an elon dish.

Starlink?

I don't want one of those either. I don't really trust him more than others. And it's expensive.

Want to avoid it if possible.

Be your own ISP?

How do I do that?

It’s interesting that we don’t really have a lot of options. Not with high bandwidth at least. @Layer Zero Propaganda might have some ham radio tools.

the closest thing we currently have to a decentralized Internet is what bitchat and meshcore are doing, the concept that each user would be a node in which one would connect to be able to pass information, now it is only possible at a short range, but We don't know how these technologies will advance in the future perhaps you will reach a point where everyone would have their own antenna and communication will depend on the number of nodes present.

i don't trust him nor would i use it either, unless i had no other options. i thought about buying starlink for my boat, but i didn't think it was worth the cost, as you said, it's kind of expensive.

House boat?

i wish. im poor and have a pontoon boat. but i have a slip at a dock with shitty internet. i wanted to work from my boat in the afternoons in the spring or early summer before it gets too hot. if i had starlink there, i could do that, but it didn't seem worth the cost for just a few months.

Shitty cell service too I suppose. Good luck.

In the US we need decentralized radio networks using CB, MURS, lora, FRS, etc.
