Starlink in Zimbabwe: Techies Find Ways to Disguise Kits, Evading Authorities

Split view showing on the left a Starlink satellite dish standing on a roof, while on the right is what appears to be just a solar panel. Bottom right is the word Techzim.
In a country choked by high internet costs and limited options, Zimbabweans are turning to remarkable ingenuity. Facing arrest and equipment seizure for using Starlink, tech-savvy individuals have devised a way to disguise the kits.

One such individual who communicated anonymously with us here at Techzim has said he’s helping people hide their Starlink terminals from the authorities.

They modify the terminal so that it looks like a solar panel, or just a light. They are also able to make it work without the indoor router, removing any evidence of the presence of a Starlink connection, even if the authorities suspect, or a neighbour snitches.

It now seems to be a sort of business helping do this via kits that can be purchased. It is certainly also needed in countries where the Internet is itself censored (LOL yes also including Australia).

IT’s just really sad also where suppliers can get away with not having enough innovative competition for them to lower their prices through a competitive market. Governments too are not always putting their citizens first as licensing seems to have some other objectives. Ask citizens, and they’re probably going to just say they want to have choices.

#ISIS militants carried out an ambush against Nigerien Army in #Tillabéri.

As a result of the ambush, seemingly a #SouthAfrica-made 🇿🇦 OTT Technologies' Puma M36 MK5 MRAP was captured and destroyed —which was originally donated by #USA 🇺🇸.

The Vampire Ball is Over

We may also speak of a “blood orgy.”

#RT:

The #era of #Western #elites being able to #exploit other #nations and other #peoples across the #world is coming to an #end, Russian President #VladimirPutin said in an exclusive interview published by Rossiya 1 and RIA Novosti on Wednesday.

The president stated that over the past few centuries, the so-called “golden billion” has grown accustomed to being able to “fill their bellies with human flesh and their pockets with money” as they have been “parasitizing” other peoples in #Africa, #Asia, and #LatinAmerica.

”But they must understand that the vampire ball is ending,” #Putin said.

He added that the citizens of the aforementioned regions, which have been continuously exploited by the West over the past 500 years, have started to associate #Russia’s #struggle for #sovereignty with “their own aspirations for sovereignty and independent development.”

That is definitely happening.

It might even be the single most important upshot of the #Ukraine war, when we look back on it in history.

Russia has become the standard bearer of #resistance against the #EvilEmpire...

Video shows the moment when the British oil tanker that was hit by Yemeni missile, sank into the sea.

It's going to be a disaster for the environment of the red sea and the coastal lines of north east Africa and Arabian peninsula.

This bloody war is unnecessary and doesn't have any positive outcome for anyone.

All because of blind support of the genocodal maniacs in Tel Aviv and their lap dogs in Washington and London.

380,000 children escaping war in #Sudan have been forced to seek refuge in neighbouring eastern #Chad.

Among other challenges, they are also vulnerable to deadly diseases, often caused by the lack of safe water and basic hygiene.

#UNICEF is providing clean water and health services to families. However, what children urgently need is peace.

This is just unbelievable. Nothing screams CORRUPTION than this woman getting a promotion after her outrageous denial of every points of South Africa's genocide accusation case against Israel, including the one demanding free and safe passage of humanitarian aid to Gaza

I'm really upset, but not surprised. The iron grip of pro Israeli politicians and states is nothing new, but ever since October 7, it has become openly obvious that the apartheid regime of Israel is untouchable and very few politicians in the world dare to openly challenge them, even after they openly and proudly documented their war crimes and genocidal plans.
