I just remembered I never made an #introduction here, probably should get around to that.Hi, I'm AntiCompositeNumber, but you can call me AntiComposite or ACN. I'm a Wiki(p|m)edian, an OpenStreetMapper, and general free content enthusiast. I'm also #AuDHD and easily nerd-sniped into writing Python.

@benjojo https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.03437 identifies it as a 32m Intelsat Standard-A satellite communications dish, which would have been used for telephone, TV, and broadcast radio connections. They were obsoleted in the mid 80s with better undersea cables and satellites that didn't require dishes that big. Some have been repurposed for radio astronomy, but this one was just mothballed.

@legoktm @linear @kiwix @tamzin one could, in theory, set up their own MediaWiki instance and import the dumps from https://dumps.wikimedia.org/ to generate their own versions of articles. This would require a significant amount of ongoing maintenance to get approximately the same result, which is why ~no one does it anymore.

@ariadne there was an article in Wired a bit ago saying "maybe by 2030" https://www.wired.com/story/6g-is-coming/ but carriers are still fighting with the WiFi Alliance, since they both want to use parts of the same spectrum for their next-gen projects.

@ariadne it feels like the recommendation algorithm changed about a week ago, I'm mostly getting recommendations for old videos I already watched

@ariadne the technician license is really not that difficult if you have any electronics knowledge already. I can recommend https://hamstudy.org/ and the Ham Radio Crash Course online exam sessions (but there are plenty of others as well).
