Anything and everything Amateur Radio and beyond. Heavily into Open Source and SDR, working on a multi band monitor and transmitter.

Not enough to make any material impact … yet, if ever.
Wait until a celebrity is handcuffed at the border whilst live streaming the experience.
Even then, the brainwashed will still claim that it was justified.
Not until it happens to them will anything like this resonate.
I think things like DHL no longer accepting personal shipments into the USA valued at over $800 will have a bigger impact than this all too familiar story.
Very interesting. Some actual data to go with all the political bluster surrounding the idea of a Universal Basic Income.
I’m soooo glad that my audio is set to zero all the time…
… this video and with it the obnoxious Admiral splash screen did nothing to change that view …
There is research that shows that white coloured roofing causes increased heating elsewhere, so it’s not a fix-all solution.
I live in Australia and during summer use a lawn sprinkler on the roof. Using a tap timer, it runs for 10 to 30 seconds every 10 minutes.
Just enough to wet the roof, so that the water evaporates and cools it down.
Other things you can do is growing creeper vines over a wall where the sun hits in the afternoon to keep direct sunlight off the wall.
If you have sash windows, you can open it at the top and bottom, creating a thermal airflow that will cool the house.
Adding sunshades and building housing with awnings makes a massive difference.
Lots of research associated with passive solar temperature regulation.
Anything that has a physical location or relationship can be mapped.
If you can find existing datasets you can add those to the map without needing to manually collect the data.
You can also consider things like floodplains, historical flooding records, traffic flows and anything else will a geographical bent.
This will never be finished because things are always in flux.
One thing that you should consider is what maintenance looks like. Keep track of where datasets came from and when you retrieved them. Some countries, regions and municipalities maintain public data that you might be able to use. Make sure you comply with any licences attached to the data.
You can also use things like the local cadastre which tracks land and building boundaries and ownership.
“Whoops, you weren’t meant to see that yet…”
Wallpaper, yeah, there’s a lot of that going around. The main feature discussed with the recent new release of apt discussed colour as the primary new feature. No mention of any actual substantive changes or reference to the impact on apt-get et al., or even a link to the detailed change log.
Why do you care about votes?
What makes you think that a defederated instance votes are still captured?
Why do you care about what happens on another instance?
At no point in your post does your question about mental health get a mention.
What are you attempting to really ask?
Obviously not everyone learnt from the pandemic…
Have you considered that not everyone is out to get you?
This is the second post with Unix and socks on my feed in the past few minutes.
There was a post about software and socks a few weeks or so ago where I replied about a company called functional software that made functional socks which I wore for years, which come to think about it also started a discussion about functional programming.
Anyway, here’s a community where the socks seem to be coming from.
Not sure what voting has to do with it, this is not Reddit and there is no karma around these parts. I haven’t voted on the matter, but I can say that your response seemed incongruous at best.
As far as having a job or not, that’s nothing to do with camping and outdoor activities, that’s to do with poor working conditions and entirely caused by your employer.
You have the right to be happy and healthy and if your workplace scares you to the point where you’re afraid to go outside, you seriously need to look for a different employer.
Not sure how sleeping under the stars for two nights is considered an extended trip, but I can tell you that being disconnected from the onslaught of 24/7 news is good for my mental health and it gives me the opportunity to think, laugh and have fun with friends.
I was driving home with a good friend after camping out for an amateur radio contest weekend and we pulled into the Stud Country Tavern at North Dandalup for some lunch.
The staff member said that this would be the last meal they would be serving.
We asked why.
After looking at us as if we were mad, we were shown the local paper where the lockdown would go into effect that evening at 18:00, 22 March 2020 in Western Australia.
You’re welcome.
I understand that being able to write software and be deliberate about accounting gives you a closer relationship with your financial situation.
For me the issue is that there are no guardrails around the plaintext accounting model, which means that you have the freedom to shoot yourself in the foot.
My current accounting software as rubbish as it is, stops me from making stupid mistakes, credits instead of debits for example. Plaintext accounting won’t.
So either you need to never make a mistake, or have a way to figure it out.
All that kind of safety net doesn’t exist. You can still make the books balance, but at some point you’re going to find a hole and spend weeks fixing it, or the taxman will and you’ll be paying a fine.
I exported the line items from my current software into plaintext accounting, even made it balance and match my actual accounts.
Then I needed to write an invoice and had to make my own, from scratch and manually enter the data twice, once into the invoice, another into plaintext accounting, giving me the chance to make an error twice, perhaps even a different one on either process. And that’s just one invoice.
I have considered writing my own accounting software from scratch, or forking something, but that’s not going to pay for food, so I kept looking instead.
It’s not a great place to be, either from a business perspective, or a mental one, but that’s where I’m at.
You said it yourself, “Canadian actress” … I think right there is their excuse to ignore this.
