Too lazy to explain this, just trust me, its cool.
@Gargron Yourself being #1 I'm curious, who was the second user to ever join you on mastodon?
It's time for an announcement. I am one of the co-developers of the Yggdrasil screen reader project, which aims to improve Linux accessibility, one step at a time. And, since I'm sure a fair few of you are now trying to figure out how to pronounce Yggdrasil ... we're changing its name. Your help would be greatly appreciated in helping us decide the new name, so join the discussion! https://github.com/yggdrasil-sr/yggdrasil-prototype/discussions/5
@zleap That would be cool. Yea id support a patch with that feature if you wanted to submit it. Or anyone. Otherwise I can consider implementing it myself when I have some time. Depends on how things go in Egypt while im there.
I'm watching A Nightmare on Elm Street 2 and they just used a very dramatic version of this Eye Bar in one particular scene.

OMG, I finally get to announce that we get to hire @tsyesika to work on @spritelyproject with me full time thanks to a generous grant from NLNet and @NGIZero! https://spritelyproject.org/news/interview-with-jessica-tallon.html
Nobody is more excited than I am! Jessica is one of the most talented programmers I've ever had the pleasure to work with and ActivityPub wouldn't have happened without her hard work. So excited to get to work together every day again!

Man on my vacation i had so many problems on the mountain with my damn antenna and just didnt bring enough tools with me to hack it. Now that I am back home I can do some testing and figure out what went wrong at least.
It was very strange. I was using an end-loaded antenna and according to my Nano VNA the only thing that effected the resonance was the coil. Adjusting the antenna length on any frequency had no effect, the resonance wouldnt shift by even a single KHz.
Now just to be clear i made a major mistake and didnt bring the calibration connections for my NanoVNA. SoI could have just been getting bad readings, I'll find out soon. But either way I spent all day on a mountain top and only got one brief contact (mostly out of luck) and they were trolls I think, either that or they legit couldnt hear me
@freemo Ya dude its kick ass. I like the atmosphere of this node.. looked around for a mastodon node that really enshrined my personal values or I was going to host my own... This node is exactly what I was looking for.
A wonderful site showing a few different types of radio signal **refraction**. Important to note what you are seeing here is totally different from the effects you get from HF radio frequencies and occurs with VHF and UHF as well. Its why generally line-of-sight frequencies like UHF can sometimes go some ways over the horizon.
