@trinsec I found it behind the radiator when i was cleaning.. I figured the heat fromt eh radiator must have killed off any bugs.

Ow my stomach hurts... that 3 year old meatball I ate earlier might not have been the smartest idea....

@TruthSandwich Sometimes you say things that I can agree with... this is one of those times.

@trinsec

Agreed.. thankfully now that I quit i have the time to invest for a bit.

1) My role is the STEM amateur enthusiast, not even a student, nevermind in the professional line. If I were starting fresh, I would gravitate towards that.

2) My enthusiasm for changing to a "sibling server" ranks up there with my interest in changing my email address. Again. Which is to say, "not very," and for the same reasons. I'm not clear I can alter my handle on the Birdsite without losing any means to have my fediverse address in there at all.

3) My wife and the very few friends that started accounts on qoto do not appear to be using this much if at all. "Moving" would for them would sound an awful lot like, "forget you bothered with Mastodon."

4) I'm highly confident any ties between you and any other server will bring on the Ultra Self-Righteous crowd that got qoto on the naughty list, and a new site would be on that list faster than word could get out the site exists.

@Romaq

If I setup a second server no one would be obligated to move... but im not sure there is much of an argument for the effort when we can all just be here.

I accidentally put my VHF/UHF transmission into a long coax cable i had that was disconnected at the far end.... Still got about 4.5 SWR on VHF and about 2.5 SWR on UHF... anyone who says they cant put up an antenna has never tried :) That said I probably wouldnt have gotten much of a signal out.

My VHF APRS beacon has now officially went live again after 2 years! You can track its packets and location here:

@ech

I saw a study that suggests all book bans were largely perpetrated by a very small number of people (double digits). While I suspect those people are right-wing it doesnt appear to be as much the norm as people might suggest.

@olives

@ech

I suspect your clear right-wing lean had more to do with it (and thus the claim to bias) than anything else. You did seem to favor generally right-wing interpritations.

@PBruce @olives

@ech

It seems a dialogue here would be enriching because you seemed to be discussing in good faith. But if they want to block you I wont give them any crap for that, they can do what they want I guess. It is a shame people cant have productive conversations as often anymore though.

@PBruce @olives

@daswickerman

Wont he be surprised when elon finds out the true nature of the universe means he is a douche nozzle...

@ech

They blocked you yes... you can see their explanation as to why here: mastodon.social/@PBruce/110702

As I said, while you do have some bias (a preformed opinion) I felt their response was unnecessarily harsh if we take what you said at face value, even if i do disagree.

@PBruce @olives

@tatzelbrumm No it was the mention of big-O which then reminded me of the similarity between that and near and far fields.

@tatzelbrumm alo i suspect it may not have a power source simply for safety reasons. If not the power source may be an external field like with wireless chargers.

@tatzelbrumm its probably extremely low power rf since it probably only needs a 2 foot range. Telemetry may be habdled all sorts of ways i can only speculate

@empiricism

Aliester Crowley would be the most recent one i recall saying that.

@PBruce @ech @olives

Based on what he said that seems to be a leap. I mean, maybe he was wrong and certainly deserves to be corrected if so... but if his stance is simplely "not all white people are evil and that notion shouldnt be taught" especially when he thinks jim crowe laws should be taught and other black rights issues.... well i thi k its a leap to say on those groubds he seeks to rewrite history. Perhaps he is bias though, but then again, who isnt.

@ech @PBruce @olives

I am against the idea of border walls regardless of who builds thrm.

Yes better drones and other enforcement tools woukd make more sense to me. They woukd atleast be cost aware. But really we just need better enforcement on american soil but that goes hand in hand with providing good aide to those in need too and provide good pathways to citizenship.
