  • Excellent! There's certainly a lot to unpack, but being able to twist all these little knobs is part of the beauty of Linux.

  • Very glad to gear it! Learning new stuff with Linux is the fun part of the journey.

  • Hey, much appreciated!

  • What... This isn't true at all.

  • The primary thing is rather than "dumb" flood routing, you can choose the path your message takes to its destination; as a repeater operator you can also choose the path it takes to repeat out. Its a slight compensation to people carelessly placing infrastructure nodes with poor configurations in poor places. Not perfect, but better. Adoption is much, much lower though, and the licensing is not copyleft.

  • Meshcore does address some of the biggest shortfalls of Meshtastic, but I absolutely HATE that they're positioned to either rugpull, or setup a perpetual "freemium" model. It's also not interoperable, so if Meshcore is to work, it needs the numbers like Meshtastic has.

  • Yeah, so far the most prevalent thing around my area has been "it's a hobby for the sake of being a hobby." No one does anything terribly useful or important with it. I can tell you that I would certainly never rely on it as a form of emergency communication.

  • It's not about user-led synergy. The personal data market is slurped up by those that already have and are building correlations. Just because a user didn't report anything to their insurer doesn't mean an insurer sure as shit isn't going to want the data if they can link it to the user whatsoever, so long as it will make them more money.

    This is hypothetical, of course, but it's the way the market of data brokers works.

  • You joke, but I guarantee there's a market. Consider health insurance companies that see an opportunity to charge everyone more unless they can prove their good brushing habits via app data.

  • Options are great, this is what drives the Linux community to come up with great solutions!

    That said... Kate is an easy winner for me.

  • A fatalist take like this doesn't help anyone. Do you lock your doors at night even though you're not be continuously robbed? It's always worth it to try and protect yourself.

  • What's yours then?! Sounds like something a fed would say...

    Also your mother's maiden name and the name of your elementary school.

  • Love me some graylog

  • 👏

  • Yes! Qsl cards are very much still alive and well. Some traditions will never die. The special event stations are fun to get cards from.

    Super cool anecdote on the telescope thing, I've never heard of that.

    I hope you get back on the radio, it's a great hobby. It's a nice stress relief outlet for me these days too.

  • Love to hear things like that! When I first got licensed the solar cycle was utter trash. We're past the peak now, but band conditions are still pretty good generally. A few watts and a wire will still get you somewhere with CW and some other forward error corrected modes (like FT8). I have a lot of fun with the digital stuff like AREDN, but it's definitely a different ball game and the old school SSB-based radio still has its place in my heart.

  • False positive what? I didn't give any specific examples of alerts, just simply monitoring metrics. Are you referring to the note on the Dnsmasq memory leak?
