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

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

They’re pretty much baofengs with much better filtering, so you don’t get front end overloading which can be frustrating.

Isn’t it maintained again?

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.

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.

Try this. It might look a little familiar https://mlmym.org/midwest.social/

Haha nice

I put on ska on easy days sometimes. Today I listened to Supernothing by Streetlight Manifesto like 3 times.

It’s near enough the big city that I can go do fun things when I want, but it’s quiet here and not a lot of traffic.

They’re pretty much polar opposite ideologies.

I just blocked them on Mastodon. Thanks!

Take my upvote /s

That’s already happening here in AskLemmy. 90% of the posts are support questions, and there’s a sticky and a sidebar rule specifically banning those.

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!
