RT @SFBayResistance@twitter.com: Those on the frontlines who have been living with and resisting the U.S.'s inhumane immigration policies are warning us:

What happens at the US-Mexico borderlands is the laboratory for what happens in the rest of the country.

@vfrmedia @sebastian I think the major problem is that a lot of hamradio stuff is taught using over simplified explanations to make it look less 'frightening'. Problem is that the oversimplified ideas do not form consistent 'model' of what's actually happening. So for many people the physics behind antennas seem like an arbitrary set of rules they learned by heart a long time ago. And this is how things are being passed on to the next generations.

@sebastian TBH I had only skimmed parts of it due to it being near 600 pages, in German and also a scanned image copy and the version I have is older I am, but even so I noticed the reuse of some designs from UK and other places.

But this really does need to be taught better in 21st century (even for SWL antennas), DARC/RSGB/Veron often say "not enough young people want to get their higher level licenses or use HF" but how *can* we learn if good info is not there?

It's a nootropic from the dark 'net called Kitchen Rolex. Dude was givin' a TEDx talk on usin' cybernetic echidnas to turn sewage into kale, suddenly he was explainin' a detailed diagram of his "Fursona" - "Captain Floofy Pony".

are you a furry artist?
do you want to draw and design cover art for my home-bred strains of cannabis?

I'd like to talk to you. 💜

I would appreciate if people running #spamd on #OpenBSD could tell me what size ls -alh /var/db/spamd reports for them.

I would also appreciate info if you regularly use `spamdb` to list the entries and if you saw any errors in your logs regarding bogus db entries or errors related to DB handling.

Thanks in advance!

Damn it, now @freakazoid has me actively considering setting up a fucking terrestrial radio station, and I'm kind of excited about it?

I have lots of other things to do before I start buying part 15 AM transmitters, but it looks like this is moving up the list and maybe happening this year.

This might sound a little maudlin, but fandom changes people's lives. Britta had a nice way of putting it, that for some young women fandom is a secret seminar in feminism, and it can be life-changing.

For other fans, it has that same power when it comes to embracing sexual identity, and gender, or even discovering there's such a thing as gender identity to begin with. There are some brilliant minds in fandom, and they help one another grow.

@njoseph IMHO breaking folks out of the #DataFarms requires every geek to set up a VPS (or box-in-the-closet) for their tribe (150 closest family and friends), and actively trained anyone keen to learn how to do the same; #CommunityHosting more so than #SelfHosting
