Starlink's new Portability feature brings internet to vanlifers
Starlink's internet-from-SpaceX service has gone mobile with a new Portability feature. For an additional monthly fee, Starlink subscribers can now take their "dishy" anywhere on their home continent that provides active internet coverage. That opens up connectivity to remote places that will likely never be covered by 5G - a potential boon to the increasing numbers of work-from-anywhere types spawned by the COVID 19 pandemic.

SpaceX's Starlink Review - Four months in
SpaceX's Starlink internet service uses satellites in low-earth orbit to provide high-speed Internet to underserved parts of the world, especially places without easy access to cable or fiber. SpaceX's Starlink beta opened up in my area, so I installed Dishy-that's the nickname for the large white satellite dish above-and I've been testing it and comparing it to my Cable internet.

Setting up Starlink, SpaceX's Satellite Internet
In March, I got an email from SpaceX saying Starlink was available at my address, and I could pre-order. I paid $500 for the equipment, plus $25 for a Volcano Roof Mount, and $99 for the first month of service, and a few weeks later, I got the kit you see in the image above.

The long, solder-heavy way to get root access to a Starlink terminal
Getting root access inside one of Starlink's dishes requires a few things that are hard to come by: a deep understanding of board circuitry, eMMC dumping hardware and skills, bootloader software understanding, and a custom PCB board. But researchers have proven it can be done.
