je vais répéter les dires du GRX :- )) : un OCXO tout simple (même par exemple celui de BG7TBL) , et un étalonnage trimestriel ou annuel avec un gps-do. Mais en réalité, ça dérive assez peu si le caillou est rôdé.
je laisse aux "time nuts" la guerre de la femtoseconde. Les césium que l'on trouve sur eBay ont souvent de fortes chances d'être déjà bien pompés, hélas
@LaurentFr Je pleure de nostalgie... (ou de nécrophilie, je ne sais pas)
pour les entretoises un peu vicieuses, je triche : je coupe "au plus près" un bout de coax 5mm, puis un coup de foret de 3.2 au centre. La ductilité du plastique s'ajuste à +/-1,5 mm, la compression de la vis fait le reste
German law is making security research a risky business.
Current news: A court found a developer guilty of “hacking.” His crime: he was tasked with looking into a software that produced way too many log messages. And he discovered that this software was making a MySQL connection to the vendor’s database server.
When he checked that MySQL connection, he realized that the database contained data belonging to not merely his client but all of the vendor’s customers. So he immediately informed the vendor – and while they fixed this vulnerability they also pressed charges.
There was apparently considerable discussion as to whether hardcoding database credentials in the application (visible as plain text, not even decompiling required) is sufficient protection to justify hacking charges. But the court ruling says: yes, there was a password, so there is a protection mechanism which was circumvented, and that’s hacking.
I very much hope that there will be a next instance ruling overturning this decision again. But it’s exactly as people feared: no matter how flawed the supposed “protection,” its mere existence turns security research into criminal hacking under the German law. This has a chilling effect on legitimate research, allowing companies to get away with inadequate security and in the end endangering users.

@oh8hub Alas, Bernard f8ja is not of this world anymore since may 29 2023(85 Y.o.). His callsign is still kept in the REF database

I love the "XMTR : Franklin". It's a perfect summary of what amateur radio was then and what it should still be today
