I am a husband, electrical engineer, IT worker, and ham radio operator just trying to live a quiet life on my own terms. Living in #NewMexico.

I post mostly about
#HamRadio #AmateurRadio and related topics, but any random thing that enters my mind may end up here. I do very occasionally post #USpol but I do not CW them. I do use the hashtag though, so you can filter those out if you don't want to see them.

I will block you without hesitation, without warning, and without comment if you accuse me of being something I am not.

No more SteppIR? Shocking exit from ham radio!

This is the most important news story of the year, and you won't find it anywhere except on Comedy Fucking Central. This is how far we've fallen, people.

Run into a narc tip line for gender affirming care? Just go google every erectile dysfunction and “low T” clinic in your area, and report away. Also highly recommend reporting plastic surgery centers that specialize in breast augmentation. It’s all gender affirming.
@HopelessDemigod Yeah, nothing. There's no path open to central eastern New Mexico I guess.
@HopelessDemigod I'm not hearing anything. Not a peep here

#Trump to #Congress: kill #funding for #PBS, #NPR & public broadcasters

Trump took yet another step Tues to place NPR & PBS at the center of his broader clash with major cultural institutions & a #FreePress, by formally asking Congress to take back the $1.1B it already set aside for all public broadcasters for the next 2yrs.
A simple majority of lawmakers in each chamber must approve what's technically known as a "rescission request" within 45 days for it to become #law.

@croyle Votes aren't getting federated across instances. If someone on this same instance voted, I'd bet I would see it.
Thanks to all who helped me test this! No matter how many people vote, I've always seen only one.

Eruption on Mount Etna (Sicily) giving the illusion of a Phoenix in the sky.

#Photography

@ente that is magnificent💜😱
@ente No no, because of the eruption the phoenix was able to fly free. If someone claimed to have seen one, it would be explained by the eruption 😏
@r3vilo ah, so is there a phoenix in every volcano, or just some of them?
@travisfw Phoenixes live in the mountains (in caves) and they usually don't come out because they must not be seen.
@ente @maxheadroom THIS IS A SIGN! THE END IS NYE...
@phranck
New Years Eve is the end of the year! 😜
@ente @maxheadroom

@johnflomax YES! TOLD YOU SO!

@ente @maxheadroom

@phranck
I was just confirming that you were right (for once) 😉
@ente @maxheadroom
@ente considering Etna is not too far from the sea, should we expect smoke on the water?
@FelisCatus or just "fire in the sky?"
@ente aww I was just getting excited about your service, looking for HEVC support, and I came across your exif indexing. Exif not e2ee, huh?
@travisfw Metadata, including EXIF is e2ee.
@ente okay, you've nearly converted me. How about HEVC, since my phone records H.265, CR2, since I've got a bunch of old raw files from my Canon, and, I dunno, might take more at a special event or something. And import from smugmug?
Even if my wishlist is anywhere on the roadmap that would be encouraging.

@travisfw Support for RAW formats is on our roadmap: https://github.com/ente-io/ente/discussions/625

You can import the data you've exported from SmugMug with our desktop app: https://help.ente.io/photos/migration/from-local-hard-disk

@travisfw @ente afaik indexing is stored and done locally?
Just e2ee indexed data is sent to servers so they can be synchronized across devices so they can also use those indexes locally
@ente Could be a dragon too.
@ente pretty sure someone is gonna scroll down to this post to know that the shot has been taken in 2019
@n1k0
Still good shot, even if it is ancient history! BC - Before COVID!

@ente ...imagine... being there, with the right kind of weed...
@ente Either that or Smaug has come to burn the city to ashes. 🙈

@duncan_blues
@ente

That was my first thought as well! 🐲

@ente this is an amazing shot! Well taken😀
@ente Makes me wonder if maybe a long time ago, that's how such creatures came to be in different cultures.
@ente Donde está seiya?
@ente Anyone know who took this photo? Didn't see it cited in the Source link that goes to Reddit. Thx!
