@f4grx @abraxas3d Yes! I love the description of hams as hackers. I think it's very accurate. I haven't bought a single piece of #AmateurRadio equipment I *haven't* immediately started planning to hack.
"Buy" software? What is this shittery?

@actuallyautistic @looneybyron @crashglasshouses

Literally!!!

It’s so much easier to just talk and not have to be questioned about if what I’m saying is what I mean. Like, I literally just told you I’m excited for it! What more do you want me to do? Want me to jump around and scream too? Would that help you understand that what I just said is really what I mean? 🤦

This doesn't seem like a step in the right direction...

Yo , est ce que tu connais un moyen rapide d'obtenir une clé de signature / chiffrement permettant de répondre aux appels d'offres publics qui le nécessitent ?
Je dois répondre sous moins de 15 jours et je me rends compte que je n'en ai plus... Et chez le fournisseur que j'avais (ChamberSign), il faut envoyer un dossier par la poste etc, avec le temps de traitement ça va être trop long.

Argl.

@ido or perhaps how every single-use, dead-end electronic project should ever be terminated by law.

Landfills are already full of hardware-locked failed products which could be properly usable objects with an open firmware

I'm posting this with a heavy heart.

As much as I love ham radio, collecting gear, building things, trying new things, and everything else that comes with it... it is just taking up too much of my time. I am struggling to keep up with the everyday basics of cleaning and maintaining my home, so something has to give.

I have decided to get rid of my gear.

Below is a list of what's available.

Serious inquiries only and please don't insult me with low offers, I know the value of what I have.

Oh no the "Toot" button is gone :( though I guess there are userscripts or extensions to get it back

You'll see lots of articles like this right now declaring the death of cryptocurrency.

They are wrong. The cryptocurrency scam is with us forever.

The real estate bubble had houses, and people needed a place to live. The dot-com bubble had companies, and folks employed by them or using those services were cut off. Cryptocurrency has no corresponding real-world impact, other than you losing all your money.

Anyone can start a cryptocurrency with slightly different rules, though, and declare that This One Is Different.

People will get sucked in.

Cryptocurrency scams will be with us for the rest of my life, and yours.

Don't touch cryptocurrency. EVER. Not even once.
