Ok, so to catch up the audience here a little bit and assuming you dont follow me.
I am a licensed radio amateur, i sometime earlier this year fell into the world of Single Board Computers which lead me down the esp32 and rasph-pi rabbit hole. Eventually i learned of Meshtastic, then meshcore And this other application called reticulum.

I mostly played with meshtastic as around where i live there are basically no nodes.
But after i started building antennas see how far i push line of sight 1 watt...

I was just spinning the knob on 80 meter on my radio and stopped on a station of two very old 80+ year old men talking about how bad windows 11 is. They were talking about, going into settings and not being able to find thing. Having to follow guides to edit registry to get some older software to work. How to make the task bar like windows 10, and about how they miss windows 7.

windows 7 was good but windows XP is my CHILDHOOD, so like :/

also vista was shit

i will die on this hill...

So to start out this little write-up, I recently started a part-time job at Walmart while I go to collage. Every once in a while the poor sound quality speakers in the store after playing music will say "this is Sam's club, Walmart radio". And ever since I started this job it honestly triggers me. So from lastly the roughly 6 months or so, I have gotten into amateur radio and built my very humble station. And at least once a day the loudspeaker at my daytime gig, would say "Walmart radio" and the term...

Hello cyberspace! So im currently have lots of school work to do but procrastination is currently winning. BUTTTTTT its technically school related so im going to count this as "working on school work".

SO my class has a group project in a week which will have 8 members and we currently all communicate on outlook. Which as alot of people feel, INCLUDING myself is hot garbage.
And we want something we can screen share and casually text message each other on. The proposed solution is microsoft teams,...

Happy Sunday Cyborg-space!
:P

I am once again making a entry, because for the first time this week i have some downtime!

MAAAAN OHHH MAAAAN, So to not get into a whole heck of alot of detail. This week i started collage and a new job, And i allocated alot of time to other things aswell.

So basically for the next 6 months, or longer im working part time at the local walmart, doing online pickup. Which i must ADD there is SOME WEIRD ORDERS! See one of my favorite past times while working is...

Ladys's, gents and fellow bipeds.

Its the year of the linux desktop!

I started collage a day ago, and today i have a complete victory across the board.

The class was introduction to networking, and i was the only chad running the gnu.

My teacher on Zoom wanted the class to install virtualbox and install windows server 2019.

I installed virtual box via app image, and the teach shared his screen. He began launching the windows VM after allocating resources and i was following along on my...

So recently i bought a used lithium battery from a flea market, and for the past few years ive been slowly collecting things to build a small solar setup.
The battery i got at the flea market is some motorcycle branded very Chinese battery, that sounds like theres is a loose piece of metal inside. I only really noticed the piece of metal AFTER i bought it from the guy.
But it was enough for my to test my solar setup, i had 3 solar chargers and made sure each one worked. I got a weird metal case large...

Good late evening cyberspace!

Do you too enjoy the painful process of rolling your GPG subkeys?

About a year ago, i got a hardware key because heck there neat little things!
So for for the people who are casually browsing "the space".

Lets describe public cryptography in simple normal people not turbo nerd terms.

So lets say i ask you to come up a random number in your head.

now we do a little math and make derivatives of that number that is mathematically improbable and...

DISCLAIMER

(So i am going to start off with saying the title is a true statement and will make sense later in this post, no im not trying to sell stuff or be a corpo shill either.)
Now back to your UN-regular scheduled tom-foolery!

Good morning evening or afternoon cyberspace!

This post is gotta be a little unhinged ham but i think i can live with that.

SO i was sitting last evening and lets the doges for there evening restroom break. And after i let them out, i checked the weather and learned that the weather was supposed to be clear till tommorow late morning.

So to fill you in which this will make sense later. For the last 4 days it has been raining. LOTS AND LOTS OF RAIN some places such as indy getting 5 inches of rain!

Now...

Good evening cyberspace!

So something i thought was a little odd and would LOVE some input into within the QSO stuff.

So let me fill you in!

So basically once a year where i live by there is a major highway called highway 27!
and once a year people lay out there garage sales on a set 3 days starting today aug 6!

So i hit the highway and got a few deals, but at one point i stopped somewhere in ohio and decided to key up on a repeater. Just simply throw out my call, i...

I recently experienced my first ham convention AKA hamvention as the kids on the block say (im uddlerly making that up).

It wasn't too terrible, i met a few people, saw some local club members.
And of course i HAD to get just a few things. HAR HAR HAR, I got a kenwood ts-271, although still trying to figure out how to use it properly.

The thing that amazed me was the amount of electrical components i saw there, it was like radio shack on steoroids. A bunch of radios (i know utterly shocking),...

Wow, wow thank you for picking up my call mysterious user!
Your signal is booming! Wow just utterly bombastic, i give you a 5-9+80.
Your signal is just impeccable, every syllable making my rib cage rattle, my knee crackle like bad weathers in town. Just utterly BOOMING into the shack here, How much power are you running?
If i had to guess enough to cook a thanksgiving meal with your tower!

WOW UTTERLY AMAZING, I CAN HEAR YOU WITH MY RADIO OFF!
THE POOR GROUNDS IN MY HOUSE SPEAK LIKE THE...

Good morning, Evening and or whatever time it is XD.

It has been about a month since my last entry which is quiet crazy to me, as it feels as if i wrote it a week ago!

So to fill in my cyberspacer's and h3ck3rs. I for the first time in my life left the United States which for context anywhere between 48%-50% of Americans have a passport. And at least for where i live in rural Indiana there is seldom anybody i hear leaving the country for holiday.
So minus the drive which i will spare the...

Good morning or Afternoon! I have been rather busy lately and have alot to talk about!!

So first off the Ham and radio stuff.

I went to this months meeting at my local ham club, which was bitter sweet. Are treasurer for our club said at the previous meeting that he would be stepping down. He told the group he is just getting to old to do it. Which is understandable dean is in his late 70's and isn't getting any younger. This meeting i arrived on time and the group was already talking with the...

WARNING EXPLICIT LANGUAGE

Good evening tooters, computers and especially Rolly! (if you know know)

It is once again that time once again where I ramble about ham radio yes, yes I know.

Just like a dodgy fire alarm at 3am I will not stop.

So enough of the whimsical volley of pretexts for this entry!

Since my last post I have tunneled deep into the foxhole that is the war of technology (insert C joke here about blowing your leg off). The following week after the previous post, I hunted some more...

CQ COTA CQ COTA, calling cyberspace on air This is STEAMY calling cyberspace!

Thank you reader for receiving my call you are a 5-9 here from my desktop computer :P.

So i have once again logged into cyberspace to talk about my newest addiction hobby Ham radio.

And since my previous post which may or may not have been pretty close to a month ago, ALOT has happened! First and most importantly last month I talked with a fine gentle man, he urged me to go for my generals license. After the meeting I...

I have just voided my warranty for my ham radio HAZZA!
So for about a month me and a close bud were looking at what HAM radio to buy.
We were mostly looking at handhelds as later this year we plan to explore some local national parks and the HAM radio would come in handy!
So after many hours on the ball busting machine (the internet)
a big thing is baofang, well heres my hot take.
Everybody i see talk about it is paid or says the words "best starter radio"
And heres the thing it is a good...
