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. ...
I’ve started physical therapy and I think it’s helping 🏋️. That gives me some hope. I’m going to do whatever they tell me to. I just want to work full time and hang out with my friends. I want to get back into running. I’m walking faster now. I always walked really fast. Maybe running is possible? We shall summon Chuck Norris and Rocky and see! I’ve been researching Tai Chi also. Lot’s of folks say it’s great for fibro. I signed back up for cw academy too. That’s always fun to do. Looking forward to meeting some new people. I met another novice cw op here in town. We seem to be able to work each other on 20m pretty good. He’s in a licw course now. ...
This is so awesome! I’ve always wondered if something like this existed. I’ve done something similar with email spammers. You can check out the initial post that got me going down this rabbit hole here. They also put the code on Github. I’m interested if the same thing is going on with my site. I’m still trying to figure out how to get comments working on here. Pending they eventually work throw me a comment below on your thoughts please.
I’m real excited to see what comes of this project. I switched to vanilla FreeBSD once TureNAS went to scale. I’ve enjoyed the experience because I’ve learned more about the underlying system. You can read more about the project here. I have not messed with it yet. However I do finally have bhyve working. I used the vm-bhyve scripts. It was pretty seamless once I RTFM.
