This past Sunday (May, 25th), I took off early in the AM towards Bentozelos, CT/TM-025, one of my favourite locations for a spring activation, hoping to film the usually colourful landscape of blooming gorse, heather and broom plants. It´s a 50/50 walk, in the effort department, with the first 2,5 km an easy walk on a wide dirt road and the remaining a hearty climb, under the sun.
NASA's switch to Linux in space was driven by reliability, flexibility, and security concerns. The International Space Station (ISS) originally relied on Windows, but astronauts frequently encountered crashes and instability. In 2013, NASA announced that all laptops on the ISS would transition to Debian, a Linux-based operating system, to improve stability and control over software.
This change wasn’t just about reliability. Windows was much more vulnerable to malware, and in 2007, a worm named W32.Gammima.AG spread to the ISS. With Linux, NASA gained the ability to modify and customize the system for mission-critical applications without depending on proprietary software. Today, Linux powers much of NASA’s space infrastructure, from ISS systems to Mars rovers and beyond.
And there it is, the last activation of 2024, on top of Seixa CT/TM-017. Really great sights and sounds, with all the ingredients: sun, fog, ice, sunset, ok propagation and good company on the airwaves. Made close to 50 contacts, mostly SSB and some digital modes, only on 10 meters.
Tnx all for the contacts and the company and tnx SOTA MT for the 10m challenge, I enjoyed this one very much.
