You should check out Ham Radio Crash Cpurse on YouTube. Lots of great info there.

I've been considering a switch since my instance has a lot of issues with overloading. I like that yours doesn't censor words. Does lemm.ee have issues with too many people joining and overloading the server?

We have a similar one here in the US. People think if you go outside when it's too cold, you'll get sick.

Damn, it looks like it still got you.

Let's see if that gets filtered.

Edit: looks like the curse filter Broke that link. Just google “mtg called Biebert a little” and you’ll find it.

Most activity, I've seen here: !amateurradio@lemmy.ko4abp.com but there's a lemmy bug that's not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon.

These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit)

They are fine for starting out with, but you'll probably want to upgrade soon. There are better radios for around $75 if you can afford it.

Ham radio! It's relaxing. My favorite activity is to take my portable gear to parks and operate Parks on the Air.

Using lemmy is well worth the $5 per month I give them.

I have photos of the interior. Let’s see if this is the one.

I moved further north and I miss it so much!

All the ones mentioned mostly. But also Linux in the Ham Shack.

The boosts segment annoys the hell out of me for some reason. I just don’t want to hear about crypto.

I usually run some commands while running the binary kernel that will disable every module not currently running in the config file, and then build the kernel from that.

I’m guessing you prefer building everything as a module if your kernel is that small?

I just reinstalled Gentoo and switched to a Systemd setup as well. I held off for as long as I could but it's just so nice!

I'm using the binary kernel for now, but I'll compile my own when I find the time. 11MB is nuts!

Yep, these are all true. Throw in overlays and the package availability is unbeatable.

I’ll begrudgingly vote for Biden again. I’d prefer someone further left, but I desperately want to prevent the Rs from winning.
