Amateur radio operator and RF aficionado in Manhattan's unforgiving, high-noise-floor, concrete-and-steel RF-hostile operating environment. Interested in SDR (RTL-SDR, Uniden SDS200, Malahit DSP1). I occasionally write ham radio software (my Python program for texting with the REYAX RYLR998 is available at https://github.com/flengyel/RYLR998-LoRa). I work for The City University of New York. Part-time hikikomori.

@kelvin0mql Where is the sensitive or inappropriate language?
@dj3ei @F4JWJ I encountered one of those non-QRSers when I was a beginner. The [insert the most vile insult imaginable] individual lived in a nearby building.
@jeremiah @pluralistic I inadvertently ordered Red Team Blues from Amazon and deliberately ordered it from the KickStarter. I can't do anything with the Amazon copy.
@pluralistic This is right up their alley.
@n8gnj Thanks for this. I'm in Manhattan, NYC. There are LoRa signals in the ISM band here--I will check if there are any Federal or LMS stations in the area. I somehow doubt it. For now, I'm keeping the power output to 100mW.
I just acquired a pair of 915MHz Meshtastic Messengers ("Meshengers," available from Etsy) and watched them form a mesh with a Meshtastic Mesh Device Station Edition G1, which I'll connect to a flat panel circularly polarized 8dB gain antenna--this works with up to 15 W input. The FCC allows unlicensed operation in the 33cm ISM band up to 160mw (22 dBm)--hams can operate on a secondary basis. To run the Station G1 at 3W I must disable encryption, which is quickly done with the Meshtastic app.
@cliffwade @yaitorr BitWarden, since it incarcerates passwords in their cells under relatively humane conditions.
@kelvin0mql Could be the red light district.
@Oceane @pluralistic Good point. A couple of days ago, before reading this entry, I suggested to ChatGPT-4 that its use of the term "AI ecosystem" was misleading: who is eating whom? ChatGPT-4 suggested "AI landscape," but "AI plantation" connotes users shackled together in servitude--an image of evil that these platforms deserve.
