Principles are costly always but I really like to pay the fee upfront. That way, you get the most value out of actually having them.

#Slack is down and suddenly productivity increases...

The @elderscrolls.bethesdastudios.com @elderscrollsonline.com have spoken!

Updating the #modelrailroad layout. No more wooden board color, soon green grass colored. Track already has ballast so I don't have to worry about that.

This is how it ends...

Let’s go girls

Split attention tonight. #OnePride @elderscrollsonline.com @elderscrolls.bethesdastudios.com @detroitlions.bsky.social

Real altruism.

Until next time, #shmoocon. #meshtastic #heltecv3

I designed an enclosure and EMI filter for slightly modded HP Server Power Supplies giving them a second life in our ham radio shacks #hamr #amateurradio #3dprinting Here is the CAD Design: www.thingiverse.com/thing:5803786

Blue Origin VP Jarrett Jones: “This is our first flight and we’ve prepared rigorously for it. But no amount of ground testing or mission simulations are a replacement for flying this rocket. It’s time to fly. No matter what happens, we’ll learn, refine, and apply that knowledge to our next launch.”

This is how it is happening.

AAARRRGGGHHHHH I hate apartment living. SNR was great 24-30 Dec after a week and change of +8dB noise floor, now it's kind of back. #adsb

@se.gfau.lt More hardhat shenanigans...

Getting there. Going to reprint the tray in PLA (has the characteristic PETG warp). Probably grey, but will keep the purple keystone panel and orange jack. Also I love Wago lever nuts. Duplexer tuning tomorrow hopefully. #RickPi #hamradio #cdr700

Please send your book proposals to [email protected]. We review them weekly. Some key topics of interest: Go, Rust, coffee table books like Engineering in Plain Sight, Open Circuits, Game Console. Books for nerds, geeks, hackers. Cyber, cyber, cyber, etc.

Donald Trump evicted the vulnerable. Jimmy Carter built them houses. In world of Donald Trumps, be a Jimmy Carter.

This is a depth tree meme. Copy this text into your post and increment the following number by one! I am at distance 1 from the start of the meme. (and I expect this branch to die quickly)

Furries, trans people, and sexual workers built this site, and are responsible for its fun vibes. But this is because we've been pushed out of other spaces by those who control the rest of culture. The "normals". You want Bluesky to stay fun? Respect and listen to us freaks and weirdos

Jimmy Carter was a Christian politician who actually sought to model the teachings of Christ even after leaving politics, rather than using Christianity as a political bludgeon against his opponents or as a tool of supremacy in the godforsaken "culture wars."

Nextion HMI displays are going to be the end of me. At least the MMDVM RICKpi drawer thinger is finally at version 1.0 after many kg of filament used for test fitment prints. #mmdvm #repeaterbuilder #stm32-dv #nextion

I feel dirty having done this. Pancake duplexer cavity for 450MHz and the previous owner broke an "ear" off a tuning slug screw. 6-hr epoxy and a 8-32 nut hopefully won't mess up tuning for this. #hamradio #duplexer #tuning

I keep saying that Christian Nationalists are nothing more than American ISIS/ Taliban.

so if I'm understanding the tech-bro position correctly, it's this

I saw a post which referred to unwrapping Reese's peanut butter cups as taking off their undies, and I would like to know how to unread this turn of phrase

my favorite Miss Manners column (from 2002) was on my fridge for years and it finally gave up the ghost. found it to print it out again, and it seemed selfish not to share.

It's 1:23 PM Eastern and I'm glad you're alive. Thanks for being here with me. #MakeKindnessNormal

I tried @jeffgeerling.com's #raspberrypi 5 optimizations (NUMA + memory) and damn, it got a ton faster. Rarely do "tweaks" make such a difference. browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compa...

If Drump pardons J6ers, is he then in violation the third section of the 14th Amendment by providing aid to those found guilty? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourtee...

When Trump said, "you'll never have to worry about voting again," it's because Trump was told something. We need to be on guard for it. And if you don't know how to shoot, you need to learn!

First public release of BW16-Open-AT today! You can find it at github.com/CoD-Segfault.... I am seeing fewer 5GHz networks on my test setup than with another unit, but didn't want to delay the release anymore. I will continue to investigate and keep you all updated.

Oh nice. Finally, an app gives an actual changelog in their "Changes" section of the App Store. It's @bsky.app . #changelog #appstore

Are there actually, literally, no WEA alerts right now? I can't remember the last time warn.pbs.org had nothing on it. #WARN #WEA #NOAA

Anyone happen to know the itinerant / backyard repeater frequencies for the Washington DC area in the 440MHz/70cm band? I have a repeater I would like to stand up for #shmoocon and want to make sure I'm not stepping in other in-use pairs. #dmr #mmdvm #cdr700 #cdm1250 #tmarc

couple new stickers in the store store.mollywhite.net/products/im-...

Well, that frickin' sucks. Noise floor was around -33dBFS, now it's -27dBFS. Time to find the noise source. #adsb #adsbex #sdr

Just gonna put it out here that I'm looking for a @shmoocon.bsky.social ticket.

63 years ago today (12 Dec 1961) on a Thor Agena rocket, OSCAR 1 launched into orbit. This marked the first amateur-led satellite to orbit, giving ham radio its first taste of amateur radio satellites. #amsat #oscar1 #projectOSCAR en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSCAR_1

Funny enough there are also ham radio operators that think the same way about radios. One is really public about it and even has a popular podcast. "If you can't build your own radio, without a kit, you aren't a ham", they say. And I hate those people. #hamradio

Finding old crap... I closed this building in 2010 and was laid off in 2012. Paved the way to getting a job in the video game industry. Yes, old Qualcomm folk, that's old building V.

CKZN QSL. I heard that one day they just turned the 1kW transmitter off to see if anyone noticed. They didn't. That was the end of CKZN #DXing #SWL #Shortwave

Always amazed when accounts here that have dozens of followers, following thousands, decide to follow my account and they have absolutely NOTHING in common with me.

Just as important today as it was in 2011: If you're prepared for a zombie apocalypse, you're prepared for most any emergency. Archive.org link because the US Centers for Disease Control scrubbed it from their site. web.archive.org/web/20110612...

Woohoo! Two CDM700 repeater cabinets, the right UHF cab is fully kitted with an old school RICK and pancake duplexer, the left VHF cab is pending a controller and duplexer. Coming soon to #shmoocon for DMR! (UHF full duplex, VHF half duplex)

In breaking news, water is wet, the sky is blue, and owning/pwning telco infrastructure is valuable for intelligence gathering. It's been a strategic mistake to keep our society vulnerable by fighting e2e encryption rather than embracing it and promoting democratized use of it.

🎄💾🗓️ Day 1: #Retrocomputing Advent Calendar - Apple II 🎄💾🗓️

Libraries are absolutely the best places on earth.

I made a design inspired by @litmoose.bsky.social and then drafted it into a cookie cutter. It's on the 3D printer now and might even get some cookies cranked out today. STL is free for download www.printables.com/model/109138...

Thanks Apple for reminding me of another song I absolutely cannot listen to without breaking down. - Almost anything from the absolutely wonderful Allison Krauss - CSNY's "Our House" #CHIatDET #commercial

God I could use an iPod right now.
