Indonesia's flooding crisis just got a tech lifeline. National police rolled out 76 Starlink terminals across disaster zones where landslides wiped out traditional networks. For communities cut off for days, these satellite dishes became their only connection to the outside world—proving once again that decentralized infrastructure isn't just theory, it's survival tech when centralized systems fail.

Starlink really saved us this time. Once centralized infrastructure collapses, everything goes down with it. Distributed systems are the real safety net.

NGL, Starlink’s disaster relief efforts this time are truly incredible. Once centralized infrastructure collapses, it’s game over, but this time decentralized infrastructure has really proven its value in real-world situations.

Starlink is truly a lifesaver. Once centralized infrastructure collapses, it’s game over. This time, Indonesia is a real-life case study.

Starlink really came to the rescue this time. Centralized infrastructure is indeed extremely fragile... When emergencies occur, centralized systems just collapse completely.

Starlink’s move is definitely impressive, but I still want to ask—why do we only remember the importance of distributed networks when disaster strikes? What happened to the talk about full 5G coverage before?
