Using “All” is the best way to find those. How else are you really supposed to?

Because the consensus definition of “theft” doesn’t include it.

This is why i think subject tagging for communities makes a lot of sense. I want to remove anime, k-pop, video games, sports, region-specific, tv/movie, “anarchy”/“everything sucks” and plenty of other entire categories from my “All” feed, but blocking is a never-ending effort.

passkeys are way for a token unlocked by your device’s biometric sensor to validate a request. biometric information is not sent to Google.

The standard is implemented by multiple vendors, Just like HTTP Basic Auth is. It is not Google specific

You don’t have to have conversations with those people - start your own net on a repeater about gardening or robotics or astronomy, find other local people you’d like to work simplex with, ask POTA or SOTA contacts if you can come along next time.

You can change the hobby for the better, if you actively participate.

A common thing I see is people running these part-15 (in the US) devices with upgraded antenna systems, which isn’t permitted. Either run it under amateur rules or under part 15.

Have you tried a 1/4 wave vertical with 4 radials sloping towards the ground? (all wire)? or even a vertical dipole fed halfway up? J-poles show significant coupling to their feedline and mounting arrangements and, as you discovered, are taller than they need to be for their gain.

the S&P has averaged 10-12% return per year for over 60 years. So that, in itself, is not an indication of impending doom.

There’s no way to be viable against a heavily government-subsidized competitor who operates in a country with little to no labor, environmental, or safety regulation.

Dalton Hamfest (lemmy.radio)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by AE5NE@lemmy.radio to c/amateur_radio@lemmy.radio
 

Attended the Dalton, Georgia hamfest today! Anyone else? Snag any great deals?

I came home with a well-used Astron RS-35A, which I realize now is emitting a strong cigarette tar odor :(

Overall, lots of vendors. Some pretty good deals and giveaways, and only a few “random cable drawer junk” / “army clothing” type sellers.

Would recommend.

Next up: Atlanta Hamfest on June 1 at Jim Miller park in Marietta.

 

It seems like any platform that features link aggregation is soon overrun by bots and self-promoters trying to drive traffic, and pages and pages of link posts versus pages and pages of people talking.

Are there any lemmy instances or other defederated networks that focus on Q&A, niche communities, and people conversing, instead?
