  • I’m aware of 802.11 lol, But i’m wondering about papers or sources talking about the feasibility/usability of bouncing it off of the ionosphere using something like shortwave to achieve the objective originally stated.

    What makes 802.11 effective is that it exists in the GHz band and as a result it can move a lot of data very quickly, but you need a low frequency to allow a radio signal to be reflected back to earth without escaping into space instead, so speeds would suffer greatly. Just wondering if there are proposals on how to make it usable in the low frequency bands so that you could reflect it back to earth and also not have to wait 7 years for an image to load.

    Furthermore for this to work you would need a relatively high powered radio setup on your end to send messages back to the source youre receiving from if you don’t intend to just receive data.











  • You might also be interested in cron/crontab. You can schedule scripts/software to run at specific times of day, week, month, year etc.

    Also if you want to learn more about the linux command line, three super useful commands for you are ‘man’, ‘help’ and ‘apropos’.

    man followed by a command, like ‘man find’ will show you the manual pages for the command ‘find’, showing you how to use it.

    In some cases man wont work for some commands, in those cases try ‘help theCommandThatDidntWorkWithMan’.

    apropos followed by a query like ‘apropos network’ will show you any commands that have ‘network’ in their short description to help you find commands that you might want to use for something.
