HAM Radio Operators in Belarus Arrested, Face the Death Penalty

"My local community is being systematically liquidated in what I can only describe as a targeted intellectual genocide."

I found a rabbit hole called #WebSDR through an article about the work of PT de Boer, one of my university lecturers at @utwente, who has been infuential for its development.

After listening to people from Twente discussing a.o. driving and taxes on FM, I continued a podcast with Sid Sijbrandij, a #UTwente alum, about "agentic everything".

The contrast between "doing things for the love of it" (#RadioAmateurs -> WebSDR) and "I want results" (Sid) felt sharp.

C'est complètement dingue comme le réseau #Meshtastic s'est déployé en quelques mois dans la plaine d'Alsace. 868 LongFast.
Des #radioamateurs ont placés des nodes à des endroits super stratégiques.

This headline made me do a double-take, until I realised it was #RoadSafety Great Britain rather than #RSGB (#radio society of Great #Britain) for #RadioAmateurs - TBH if any #hams *are* pulled up for #DUI (unless they are prog-rock loving #hippies who still indulge now and then , which isn't that uncommon round here, quite a few #seniors been nicked recently) its more likely to be happen due to #drugs they got prescribed legally for age-related health conditions (usually #benzodiazepines and #opiates) than #partydrugs (beware - even a legal prescription is *not* a "get out of jail free" card, and an OM who ends up mounting the kerb trying to adjust his VFO whilst driving might well be swabbed / blood tested)

Le nouveau #TNRBF dont l'arrêté signé du premier ministre vient d'être publié au JO reprend les décisions prises lors de la #CMR_2023 pour la bande des 23 cm sans ajouter de contraintes complémentaires pour les #radioamateurs. Une analyse complémentaire des 314 pages du document pourra confirmer qu'il n'y a pas de grosses modifications pour le service d'amateur.
