Late night QRP amateur radio!

God, I "love" Mastodon.

The server's cache filled up the entire HDD, and then from there put PostgreSQL in recovery mode

Honestly, Mastodon's caching sucks so hard, and it has no good way to do sanity checks like to automatically delete files, or make sure the HDD isn't filled up past a point.

I changed the crontabs to be more aggressive, but it appears the 'recommended' solution is to use S3 storage or something like that.

I'm legitimately debating what to do long term with the server ...

that said, I had to look it up - https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/bill-of-rights-transcript#:~:text=Article%20the%20third...,for%20a%20redress%20of%20grievances.

Articles 1 and 2 were the ones about representation, and congressional pay raises (the later of which was passed 200 or so years later as the 27th amendment)

The Bill of Rights: A Transcription

Note: The following text is a transcription of the enrolled original of the Joint Resolution of Congress proposing the Bill of Rights, which is on permanent display in the Rotunda at the National Archives Museum. The spelling and punctuation reflects the original. On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States proposed 12 amendments to the Constitution. The 1789 Joint Resolution of Congress proposing the amendments is on display in the Rotunda in the National Archives Museum.

How to tell your school's text book wasn't written by an American:

"For example, the democratically elected United States, Congress can’t ban religious practice because the Third Article of the United States Bill of Rights explicitly protects freedom of religion and conscience"

Interesting, this is actually correct in the sense that Article 3 of 1789 Joint Resolution of Congress was the one that sent the issue to the states for ratification.

Well, one way to get past a bad morning is to purge your inbox of all those mailing lists you've ended up on.
So I put my FT-817ND on air, and managed to make a bunch of contacts at 5W and 2.5W both with battery and PSU supply. One step closer to actual POTA operations!

Oh, also, Happy pride month!

Remembers, no cops or corpos at pride~

Well I popped in the included NiMH battery for my Yaseu FT-817ND and see if it holds a charge. Based on the serial number, my rig is ten years old, so my battery is likely just as old. I did order a much better replacement, but if this holds a charge, I can likely do some POTA work ...
