I dig ham radio, telephones, computers, privacy, vim, and my dog.

The best part about federated services and lemmy is you can start a community on any open instance.

lemmy.radio is for amateur radio only, however. Both membership and community creation.

don’t think there’s an option for that. looks like i’ll have to migrate all of our photos over to S3. Shouldn’t take too long(?)

So of course one of the issues with moving to a new object store is old local images are orphaned. I’m looking at how we might be able to migrate at least our user/community images, but this may be how it is for now. You may have to reupload your profile photo/banner. I’ll work on updating the community images. Honestly, this will help us save on storage in the future.

A Canadian friend introduced me to putting malt vinegar on my “fish and chips”. Was one of those eye opening “why haven’t I been doing this all my life!” moments.

First Venus bounce with the Dwingeloo telescope – Dwingeloo #AmateurRadio Telescope | CAMRAS - Lemmy.Radio

On 22 March 2025, we used the Dwingeloo telescope to successfully bounce a radio signal off the surface of Venus. At the time, Venus was in its closest approach to Earth at about 42.000.000 km. Such a conjunction happens when Venus is between the Sun and the Earth, and happens approximately every 580 days.

Re: Delete, Delete, Delete - FCC Initiates Broad Inquiry on Rules to Delete or Amend - Lemmy.Radio

In a Public Notice titled “In Re: Delete, Delete, Delete,” issued on March 12, 2025, the FCC is soliciting public input on any FCC rules in any service that members of the public believe should be deleted or modified “for the purpose of alleviating unnecessary regulatory burdens.”

This is very one sided. There’s SO much more to ham radio than voice.

Maybe the question is “How do we get people to think that ham radio is more than just a voice call?”
