It’s fine, but it’s mandatory that you start playing the bass

Before going by Grace, how often did she here jokes about Lewd Dong?

I’ll image and share my swap partition, if anyone’s interested

Obligatory: Your choice of Linux distro is awful. I don’t know which one it is you’re running, but someone will rip on you for it either way.

Other than that, great to have you onboard. Some tidbits:

• Seconding that other person’s recommendation of timeshift
• I’ve been a linux user for decades and never quite figured out sleep mode. Haven’t bothered putting much effort into solving it, so that’s mostly on me
• At least back in the day, changing ones username was just a matter of editing /etc/password, /etc/shadow, and /etc/groups, and optionally moving your homedir as well. Maybe it still works this way? Make backups if you wanna try it.

Cinema popcorn is inferior because they can get away with low quality. There’s plenty of good popcorn around, but it’s rarely found at the movies.

Came here to say “Tankies”, but you seem to have it covered.

I hate to the that guy, but unironically: BoTh SiDeS!!11 when it comes to stupidity

Not Randy Rhoads. Well, presumably. Not Tosin Abasi either, I think.

Moral of the story: Do not worship politicians like they’re heros. The are/were there to do a job, and that’s it.

Debian on homeservers, centos on work servers, and mint on desktops

When software poses a requirement, software should be ditched in favor of protocols. This is why any software that relies on a closed spec protocol should be avoided.

You’ll never see an age verification requirement on IRC or XMPP. And any software using these protocols that try to implement age verification will simply be left at the curbside, replaced by an alternative.

Vatnik bot OP aside: Not really. But Orban is sucking up to Russia, so vatniks promote him in an effort to seed a split in Europe. And Orban needs it, as his unpopularity makes his reelection this April difficult. He’s been trying the strongman playbook for quite a few years, but he didn’t have much actual muscle to back it up.

Reported? Check! Vatnik bots aren’t welcome.

Imma have to do some research into how to build a viable mountain solar node, then. It’ll only be physically accessible during summer and in nice weather. Maybe I can hack together something that updates the firmware via USB once a month or something - sounds like an interesting challenge doable with digikey supplies I already have.

Dumping live serial is fine. In fact, I think that might be easiest since I’ll be dumping NMEA strings for positioning at the same time. Should make it easier to parse and map later on.

There are a couple of mapped ones “nearby”. Two hours drive, and a couple of mountain ranges in between. I should be able to reach them with a mountaintop repeater or two. I’ll see what else is nearby (if anything) and plan from there, once my pocket unit arrives.

How easy is it to wire in a pocket node to a laptop for datalogging? While the form factor isn’t much of an issue (I intend to print my own case), I was wondering what sort of I/O protocol (if any) these devices usually support.

I do a lot of hobby electronics, so building a repeater more or less from scratch is the plan, yes.

I still think the car setup is needed, at least temporarily until I’ve found some potential neighbors that I can reach with a repeater. I very much doubt I’ll be able to reach anyone without them, as I live here:

…gotta get over those mountains. And that picture was taken from one of the few locations reachable by car, and I’m willing to bet better positions can be reached by foot. But NFW I’m hiking all the way up there just to test - I wanna map out other nodes in the region first.

EDIT: Unless needed later, the car setup might be repurposed as a rooftop repeater so I can reach a summit repeater from my pocket node.

Same name in Norwegian. No idea who voiced it.

In this day and age, shouldn’t Huntarr be replaced by Gatherarr? You know, sustainability and all…

Got back from the movies about an hour ago. I liked it (and my kids loved it).

7/10. Not among the Pixar greats, but it’s worth a watch.
