Starlink works great until the cats find out that the dish gives off a little heat on cold days.

On a sunny day (Sun, 16 Jan 2022 13:04:03 -0500) it happened Joe Gwinn snipped-for-privacy@comcast.net wrote in snipped-for-privacy@4ax.com:

Once I had mice that would somehow get into the kitchen at night. Put 2 not insulated wires about 10 cm away from each other connected to the 230 V mains and ground on the kitchen floor. Huge noise happened in the middle of the night, the mice left.

Later found the hole where they entered and closed it.

So 2 wires is all ye need. Not sure if that changes reception a lot.

N mice in, N-1 mice out.

I've done the same, for neighborhood tomcats that would come in the cat door and eat my cat's food. Used a 20 KV (at 20 ma?) neon-sign transformer, controlled by a manual switch. If my cat is curled up on her corner of the bed, and there are noises coming from the kitchen, turn power on, then clap hands loudly.

When intruder attempts to leave through the cat door, bzzap! Intruder bounces, ends up in a pile on the kitchen floor, confused.

Doesn't kill the intruding cat, but sure does get his undivided attention.

After a while, open door and let now-wiser intruder escape. Never the same cat twice.

It does, at least for that one mouse.
