From my archive: a fun class I taught to my students to get them excited about #hamradio (my #amateurradio mobile kit in the box, and I'd have the girls spell out their names in NATO phonetics to make contact as third party traffic to a volunteer or really anyone we could contact, was always a blast).

Was great having Francie from Out of Spec Podcast guest hosting with us today.
Also, was reminded of the perils of doing it live at the top of the show. A little embarrassing, but had a good laugh about it later.

Saying goodbye to great hardware: My 8-port Unifi switch finally buys the farm

Turns out that only lightning could kill my otherwise-unkillable US-8-150W.

I miss this car. I don't get it.

The EUV was terrible and my heart refuses to be won over by the OG Bolt. This thing was the right amount of everything in maybe a not-so spriteful manner. It was quite close to my late Fiat... a version of it that grew up a bit maybe, works a little too much overtime and put on a bit too much weight, requires coffee in the morning and can't really stay out late tearing up the dancefloor, er I mean curves, at midnight anymore.

But it was still lovely.

If my Volt didn't have the trade in value of 3 expired Hostess cakes I'd be quite inclined to visit the local dealer and grab one before GM turns the new variant into an over-bloated SUV that only the top 10% can afford.

5/ Via @emptywheel:

Note: What no one besides me cares about (I won't shut up about it), Powell's 2020 conspiracy started earlier, w an effort to use Mike Flynn case to set up a 1st debate attack on Joe Biden.

Docs were altered--IN DOJ--to make that happen.

So if Powell ever got cooperative at Federal level, the story might incl:

DOJ altering documents to help Trump's campaign
The pardon of Mike Flynn that pardoned even Flynn's crimes in reneging his original plea
THEN all the Big Lie stuff

Just did a 3,800-mile road trip from Florida to Colorado and back in a Tesla Model 3 RWD Long Range. I recorded video to share data and some of the sights along the way, and here's how the first leg went.

I know I don’t have much reach here, but figured I’d try anyway.

I’m looking for someone to help with payroll data entry, Accounts Payable, and light HR work for a rapidly expanding hospitality company.

ME: Back in the day, I had to implement isalpha from ctype.h.
JR: Was it difficult?
ME: It was a real test of character.

Lazywebs question time!

Does anyone know of a good #book
about #cryptography in history? Preferably wide-ranging enough to cover various ciphers and their use, without getting into the mathematical weeds of modern cryptographic algorithms.

Target audience isn't into serious cryptography, but can and will crack a substitution cipher or similar puzzle for fun.

#bookstodon or #infosec perspectives very appreciated.

recorded a Windows 95 full disk defrag to soothe your timeline.

Who amongst ye is good at creating graphic content, such as a little video of species introgression, and wants to volunteer for #wolves via WWP?

What do you hope to hear at a talk about mental health in the developer community? What would you want to hear from me?

On paper, in theory, #ElectricCar repairs should be far less than they would be for an internal combustion engine vehicle, as there are far fewer moving parts.

In reality though, that's not always the case. Here's who is gatekeeping EV repairs, and keeping them high.
