Dpending on your definition of 'fast', you can pull this off with those newfangled 5G base station/routers.
Just gotta find a place near enough to a city, not too far into the boonies.
Cheaper than Starlink.
Fast enough to game to game on, unless there's some kind of serious servicd outage or massive weather storm of some kind.

And that is relevant how? I don't say that it's a lifestyle for the average person, definitely not.

It was analogous to the unreachable perfect standard of goodness.

Sometimes I get the vague sense that I've already seen a post in my /all view, but I don't think i've ever seen them back to back like this. Not even the title is different

So you're extrapolating from this single case? As I say, if you know what you're doing it's less effort than you think, you let nature do its thing for you and just nudge it in the right direction, so you just harvest the fruits. And yet again, just because that lifestyle isn't for you it can still be for others...

Cross-posting as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts against .ml
::: spoiler Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin
https://lemmy.world/post/30673342.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558
The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

:::Sure, but:
- That doesn't excuse not even attempting a first-blush attempt at authoring even just the title yourself
and
- Constantly reposing duplicates en-mass makes the experience way worse for those of us who don't have a personal vendetta against particular target lemmy instances and who haven't defederated with them out of spite or distaste
do what you want but this is basically just petty vandalism

Dry saw dust does a whole lot of work in these toilets.

It's not possible to cater things in a way that's pleasant for everyone at once. Your slightly degraded experience, is another's "godsend" be it because they were forced out of .ml because of the "horrible" crime of supporting ukraine or calling out Russian propaganda or because by choice ala instance defederation or choosing to block them
Hence the reason people say, you need to cater your feed for an optimal experience.

Making the experience worse for everyone because you have a personal ideological disagreement with another instance is hardly what I'd consider a justified moral crusade, but it's easy enough to block reposts when they're coming from a single user, so you do you.

I'm not extrapolating, this isn't data, it's fiction lmao

I'm curious how you can justify speaking for everyone? How is everyone's experience worse? I'm sure the users of lemmy.cafe or any other instance that defederates or otherwise blocks .ml don't notice a degradation.
I've even had people thank me for doing what I do because it's actually an improvement for them so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nah, fuck this. This isolationist mentality from larpers is what lead us to this fucking mess. This is fucking terrible, and people shouldn't be living in this shit, and 99% of those who tried know it.

poor little guy. What would you even do without DoorDash?!There's no way you could hack it, so there's absolutely no way many, (MANY) other people could!

I legit almost had that dream. Used to live on the KY/TN border. Had 50 acres, half mile off the road and no neighbors. Right as I determined I was moving the local power company started their own fiber ISP. Brought fiber right up to the house.

Reposting these memes shows up on everyone's feed regardless of if they're subscribed or federated with .ml - i'm not speaking for 'everyone', only pointing out who your script is impacting, which is everyone in that subset.
Not everyone has gotten banned on .ml.

Just a small point of clarification, there's no script, every crosspost is done manually. It would actually be rather impractical to script it, since I wouldn't want to accidentally crosspost some Tankie crap, like an RT article or a pro-NK meme or something lmao

Running water would be nice
Find a stream, dig a well, set up a rain collection system, have a cistern / pump / filter.
Yep, its difficult, but not impossible.
People have been doing that for tens of thousands of years... though I will grant you this is increasingly, unrealistically difficult for an average person to pull off these days, even if you basically learn how to properly do all of it yourself, lots more legal restrictions, and construction/materials are costly.

Oh, a bunch of people really believe they can and should live in isolation from society. Some of them really are. Most of them have or about to have a mental illness that is exacerbated by fearmongering from all the weird groups, and isolation transitions them from kinda weird guys that need a bit of help, to full on psychos. Just look what a little bit of covid isolation did to so many people, and they had zoom.
Of course I couldn't "hack it" in social isolation, but neither do you, and your doordash comment only shows that you actually have very little idea what you're talking about. -
Damn. God forbid people romanticize having some peace and quiet.
Isolated hut in the woods is about the farthest thing from peaceful and quiet you can get.
-
Counterpoint: I tried and I want to leave this broken society even more now (especially since societal enshitification seems to even accelerate).
Though you still need social contacts (that you really like) to avoid loneliness, so in case you have that, it's a wonderful, peaceful and healthy way to live more in harmony with nature, but it's a lot of work nonetheless.
Take it from someone who actually experienced living in a remote isolated place. It's as far as peaceful, healthy, and quiet lives you can imagine. You're not a druid from a larp, and you're not an animal born in a ditch, you will not be in "harmony" with nature, whatever the fuck you mean by it, you will be in a constant opposition to it, in a fight for your life, and "the nature" will consume you in the end. I know you're not one of those people who actually thrives in that environment, I know it because we're talking on the internet, and weird forest isolationists don't talk to other people on the internet.
All that remote hut bullshit is a sham perpetuated by antisocial weirdos and scammers that sell buckets of prep food you can shit in. -

Fast enough to game to game on, unless there's some kind of serious servicd outage or massive weather storm of some kind.
As someone who lives out in those boonies in the middle of a forest, (groceries are a mere 100 mile round trip. I did that yesterday), the internet has had a funny journey here. We pretty much went from dialup to fiber, sometimes it's good to be last. We've had fiber now for 6 or 7 years. While it's only 2.4G, still fast enough for most people. But weather can make internet and electricity somewhat spotty as winds can blow trees over and the lights go out.
But we still very much behind on cell service. Due to the trees and and hills, towers can be far and few between. Many places have poor to no service. I can sometimes get a text message out in my yard, but making a phone call isn't happening. And most places I forage or hunt in have no service at all. If I have a heart attack, ain't no one dialing 911 for me unless they use the land line in the house. Weirdly enough there is one spot one the lake I live on that I can get 5G. It seems to be about a 200 yard circle.
What all of these swaive, 'fisticated, and urbane Ubanites will miss is the "quality of life" they are used to. "Fun things" like movies, concerts, plays, shopping, fine dining, are either miles and miles away or non-existent. Best we can do for you is Brodini being in town for a one Saturday afternoon comedy magic show in the summer. And for shopping, you can always use Amazon and wait a week or two for the shipping.
But I get to sit here this morning, breathing in the smoke from the Canadian forest fires, (we are not quite in the promised orange yet today), and drink my tea over looking a quiet lake and listen to the loon out in front of my house. I think it takes a special mind set to live like this. And most people don't have it because they don't know anything different.
