BREAKING: Secretary of Energy Chris Wright announces government investigation into “so-called solar energy,” including possible heath risks of “solar radiation” from solar panels and concerns that solar energy initiatives “may use up all of the sun, leaving us dark and cold.”

Food security for many being under greater than normal threat, I’ve seen many folks sharing options for donating. As an #atheist I don’t want any of my giving to pass through any religious fronts. Therefore I recommend the Food Security Collective campaign run by the very secular Nonprofit […]

I hate the state of streaming so much I just got a bluray dvd player and I’m just borrowing dvds from my local library (and they have lots of stuff)

Anyway, I think Trump should NOT get his security deposit back in 2028.

And done.. I checked in for #FediFridayWinlinkNet #Winlink is a tool #hamradio#winlink#fedifridaywinlinknetperators can use to send email over the air to any normal email address. Handy for when the grid is down, or you’re just away from signal. Remembering how it all works is perishable so we have a meet up weekly to […]

I now assume that the avalanche of "journalism" "covering" Amazon "deals" on "Prime Days" is almost entirely a revenue generator for the "news" organizations, via commission links. I canceled Amazon Prime. Consider doing the same.

Having fun dabbling in the CA QSO party today and stopped for a break… “hey is that a dust storm?” #WatchDuty check… “ah… no that’s a fire.” Given that I’m on the other side of a soda lake and well within the borders of a previous fire this year which consumed […] [Original post on mastodon.radio]

VE time again. Let’s go make some Hams!

For me, the most pressing issue of these times is how to avoid nihilism, build community, love people. I know it sounds woo woo but I’m frankly out of other ideas.

I would normally be horrified about someone releasing a video to talk about being indicted but this is pretty disciplined.

Trying to make heads or tails of this "SIM server" thing from the US Secret Service. https://www.secretservice.gov/newsroom/releases/2025/09/us-secret-service-dismantles-imminent-telecommunications-threat-new-york Presumably the denial of service attacks would involve overloading cell networks […]

I am going to go out of my mind. The lack of general Tech and Internet literacy among non-tech people is worse than I thought and now they're jumping into AI without literacy on that, either. I feel overwhelmed. It's like me vs. the entire world.

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.

So help me, I laughed #shitpost #meme #distractedboyfriend

RFK Jr. claimed that there have been no successes coming from HHS in the past 40 years. I beg to differ. Do wr have more work to do? ABSOLUTELY. But everything RFK Jr. is doing will halt that progress.

Thanks to @bud_t for lighting the beacon once again. I just checked-in to #FediFridayWinlinkNet. Break out your Winlink capable equipment stack and remember how it all worked. @ me and the hashtag if you need tech support. Follow #FFWN for details. #hamradio #winlink

Looks like there are some people south of the US-Canada border starting to report auroras. Maybe it'll be amazing! https://www.aurorasaurus.org/ Do I want to set up my camera/tripod now even though it's a bit cloudy and smoky? Hmmm

With the recent opening of the Angeles Crest Highway all the way (has been closed since winter 22/23 due to road damage) I jumped at the opportunity this Labor Day (today) to reactivate Mount Baden Powell (W6/CT-004). 9 miles (14.5 km) round trip with 2800’ […] [Original post on mastodon.radio]

Perhaps it's time to tap the chart again. Left-handed people were once seen as sinister (the word sinister, from Latin, originally meant "left" or "on the left side") so kids were forced to be right-handed. However, with advances in science it became clear […] [Original post on mastodon.world]

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware. #android #google

Passing this video along for fans of Zohran Mamdani! 🤩 As everyone keeps saying, his video production team is the absolute greatest. Awards needs to be given out for his stellar campaign promo.

I'm working on becoming a Ham Radio operator. If any hams out there have some used gear that might be good for a rank newbie to get started with, DM me! Here's my first blog on the process. https://dougnix.net/2025/08/17/becoming-a-ham-radio-operator/ #canada #hamradio #newbie
