Anything and everything Amateur Radio and beyond. Heavily into Open Source and SDR, working on a multi band monitor and transmitter.

  • It was fun doing the research. No word from the museum or any grant opportunities yet 😇

    Edit: I've just heard back from the museum. I've seen the article. It might be the tip of the iceberg.

  • What topics should be a priority?

    Jump

  • How do you determine what the "real problems" are?

  • Andrew Mountbatten Windsor summoned by US Congress

    Jump

  • Charging him with a crime sounds like a good start .. though I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

  • Andrew Mountbatten Windsor summoned by US Congress

    Jump

  • So .. the US Congress can just summon a citizen from a different country .. and the citizen is compelled to .. do what exactly?

  • haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?

    Jump

  • That's interesting, since my list of addresses contains numerous ones that don't exist and nobody here has ever used.

  • haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?

    Jump

  • Interesting.

    I see a list of email addresses.

  • haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?

    Jump

  • I am not sure what you are talking about.

    I have a domain registered and can see exactly which addresses have been compromised by what, without payment.

  • I now have call recording on Android

    Jump

  • Interesting.

    My native phone app also supports call recording, but it needs to be manually activated each time.

  • Billionaires are extremists

  • Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Release Date & Schedule

    Jump

  • ProTip: the Ubuntu version number includes the year and month of release. 26.04 will be released in April 2026. 26.10 in October 2026.

    What they'll do when they hit 2100 is left as a rollover issue for the next poor sod.

  • I wanted the Signal protocol implementation in javascript, but couldnt find one suitable... so i tried to create it myself.

  • Billionaires are extremists

    Jump

  • You don't think that 3,028 people holding 99% of global wealth is extreme?

  • Billionaires are extremists

    Jump

  • That's an interesting observation.

    Given the 3,028 billionaires among the 8 billion people on Earth, that's the definition of extreme.

    Those 3,028 people, or 0.000036% of the global population, hold more than 99% of all wealth.

  • I'm cleaning today (with back pain) because someones coming to see the place

    Jump

  • ProTip: push your knee(s) against the sink for extra support. Initially you'll feel a little weird, but you won't care after your back stops hurting. You can also use this when brushing your teeth and washing your hands.

  • [RANT] Why is so much coverage of "AI" devoted to this belief that we've never had automation before (and that management even really wants it)?

    Jump

  • Given the massive layoffs happening under the Assumed Intelligence banner, the answer has always been: "cheaper labour"

    Apparently people who actually know how to do their ICT job are too expensive, right until the shit hits the fan, at which point it's "drop everything and help me, now!"

    Organisations are no longer run by Founders, instead they're run by accountants and lawyers who only care about shareholder value, not the societal or environmental impact.

    When the bubble finally explodes we're going to be looking at an altered economic and technology landscape, if we don't self ignite before that.
