This seems really awesome to me! I’ve been enjoying reading about this here! It looks like these folks make LXC also, wow. Many years ago I ran a VPS on LXC and it ran very stable. I know that the new version of Proxmox will now run LXC containers native. You can read about the Proxmox news here if interested. He did a great write up about it. I’ve yet to try Proxmox. I’m very happy with Bhyve for my simple needs. ...
Wow I almost missed this one! If it were not for a pop-up on my phone. Normally only of my ham buddy’s will let me know. I might have had my radio off if anybody announced it 😔. I was not expecting to make any contact’s! I actually got one I manged to see K4NCO pop up on 6 meters! I got a reply right away, considering he was only 30 miles away 🤣 😂! I have actually talked to him on our local 2 meter repeater before. It took me a while to realize that though! I hope I can catch him on the air again when he’s mobile! ...
It’s been years since I’ve tried a new Linux distribution! 🐧 I had an old laptop laying around so what could it hurt right? You can read the about it. Software Source Compiler and runtime stack LLVM C standard library Musl with mimalloc Core userland FreeBSD Init and services Dinit + custom tooling Audio stack PipeWire Desktop environment GNOME ##AMAZING I stole that list right from the site. I’ve only ran musl on Gentoo and Void before. I’ve always been interested in that. It’s always fun to try out new init systems too! As of writing this I’ve used it quite a bit. I was worried about having to mostly just use flatpaks. The only downside I found was lack of nvidia GPU support. No worries this is the ONLY machine with a nvidia GPU that I have! I was not trying to play video games or render anything so it did not matter to me. ...
Here is a wild article and video that I came across on IRC, yes people still use that. here is the link you are looking for. Ok 73
I debated putting this on here. It’s me though and what I live with. For the past couple months I’ve been doing hard PT twice a week on site and daily at home. I’m about to go to my 3rd pain clinic. This is something I’m not looking forward to. I sure hope they can tell me something. I’m not ready to die just yet. I’ve got a whole list of stuff I still need to do. I’ve been down for many years and I need to get my mobility back if possible. ...
I was wanting to scrape some old posts from a blog I had in 2017 gosh that was a while ago. I used to run the static site generator called pelican. This is the guide that I used to accomplish the task above. I used Approach 1. I was initaly trying to figure out how to do this with ftp, before I realised this was another option. 73 for now
I remember growing up without internet. Everything came over TV, print and radio. I was always fascinated because you could not see the radio waves and how they could penetrate walls etc 📻. The signal quality would change also based on your location, you touching the antenna and orientation of the antenna. My grandfather would always be sitting in the living room reading and listening to the radio *it’s on top of the post. I always admired him for that growing up. Was he just trying to get piece and quiet away from grandma? ...
WOW What a blast today. The rest of the gang got on site about 1 PM, about the hottest part of the day. It was quite hot today so I waited till later to ride out on the motorcycle. Alzie has a technician license now and 10 meters was dead. He asked if I wanted to try and activate? REALLY Ok sure! I got to get right on the radio without doing any setup work! ...
I’ve managed to get flrig setup with my ft991a. It’s pretty awesome how it works. You just pipe all the other program configurations into it! It was a little intimidating at first but it’s dead simple. I used this guide here So far the programs I’ve managed to run are wsjtx, js8call, direwolf, xastir. I’ve also managed to pipe the audio from the radio into mumble. So now I can operate vhf/uhf/hf all remote ssb, digital or cw. I have not attempted remote ssb or cw. Aside from just listening. It took me a while to realize the hf audio coming out of my cellphone! That euphoria is a great feeling. Like when you finally fix something after hours troubleshooting. ...
I found the magnet emoji. 🧲 🧲 🧲 🧲 🧲 🧲 OK, I’m done I feel better. Can you tell I’m excited? Link here it’s wild a century has passed since a new discovery in magnetism. Magnets 🧲 are in tons of devices like consumer electronic and medical equipment. Less energy usage is awesome. It would be great for working portable in the field. 📻 It’s wild that the ancient Greeks discovered ferromagnetism! I really got excited when I read this! 😃 > In theory, spintronics would enable us to cram much more information into computer memory, making it more efficient. ...
