I understand you want to promote the launch, and yes it is exciting but my word this isnt WWE, the endless yapping and therfor having to sneak in the hold and clock reset to clear weather isn't helping....yes I'm a nerd but please provide a second stream with just the flight loop...

P.S. for those keeping track, the serial for VA265 was L6005 why? because L6004 is ‘mine’ 😇

Ik begrijp dat het verkiezingstijd is, maar omdat mijn timeline vol staat met politiek "gedram" (zowel links als rechts) en ik gelukkig zelf uitmaak op wie ik stem, nadat ik zelf onderzoek welke partij het beste past, gaat een aantal accounts hier even op mute, sorry, not sorry.

Here is a tip for those stuck having the run the latest Windows 11 (25H2) for "reasons" For the love of Pete, use ShutUp10++ to cut down on the M$ spyware and other (Recall/etc.) nonsense, it's free (but do buy their office dog Frida a bone or two, only fair)

Spent last 3 hours diagnosing a weird fault with a SDR connected to my
@satnogs.bsky.social
station, it would fail observations, but only sometimes, and weirdly fine for a while after a reboot, turns out, bad USB cable, and it was a "better quality" one too, in short, cables first, software later :)

Instead of the much hyped news of the FIA site hack (yes the one where hackers accessed (but really didn't) Max Verstappen's data and had access to all F1 drivers) Why not read the details from one of the ethical hackers here:
