@freemo not anymore. I took electronics in HS but forgot most of it (probably didn't lear it properly)
@freemo correct. An almost "from scratch" understanding as if we had a nuclear Holocaust and I had to understand it enough to be able to recreate rudimentary radio communication.
@freemo you seem like a physics buff. Tell me, how would you recommend I learn the physics of RF and waves and signals using a radio and SDR kit? Is it worth it to do it that way? Any suggestions?
Goal: make a radio and hook it to an mcu, write a library to decode digital radio signals using said radio, and essentially have make my own digital radio scanner. Additionally, I'd like to have an option to do some signal processing to change my voice when using the radio for transmitting.
@debian 2/ OK, I have more :-)
When I was a teen, #gcc was mind-blowing - a compiler I didn't have to pay for.
#GnuPG for security and privacy
#ssh is so easy to take for granted but so important.
#yggdrasil making the Internet fun and flexible
#Rust systems programming without so many dragons
#GNU project - thank you for everything from #tar to #bash
#UUCP got me online when long-distance was too expensive for #PPP
And finally, all the wonderful people of FLOSS!
@freemo org-mode + org-roam basically allows me to have a file with code/latex/comments and export to PDF or website whilst being easily searchable in a linked manner that is visually appealing.
@freemo forgot to share this earlier. This meme encapsulates Joe's persona pretty well. He isn't the brightest bulb out there but he is overall good hearted even if (as a comedian) some of his jokes don't land well or are a little insensitive but without that process we wouldn't have jokes as somebody needs to come up with them and tell them to figure out if they're any good.
@freemo yeah I started watching his stuff due to some interesting people he had on (Nick Bostrom and Mike Tyson) and then got hooked on it. He is legit the furthest thing from a racist. Not only that but he is not even right wing (pro abortion, pro free healthcare, pro welfare, etc.) It's just that he is antiwoke and said some stuff which may be considered trans insensitive like that Teens shouldn't get the surgery or that male anatomy shouldn't be in changing rooms meant for male anatomy.
@visne I suggests wearing headphones and playing either ADHD music or brown noise. Additionally, you may want to try talking to your brother and asking him to be more quiet as you need to focus on your studies.
@monkeyborg it's more like picking your poison rather than not taking any
@monkeyborg ah a refreshing take
War != imperialism. If Russia is trying to do an imperialism in Ukraine, and the U.S. sends troops to keep Ukraine free, thatʼs anti-imperialism, not imperialism.
Granted, there will be fuckery on the U.S.ʼs part, and they will probably find a way to keep a long-term presence in the area, which is imperialism.
But if youʼre anti-imperialist, itʼs the lesser of two evils in this case.
Sometimes the thing you would prefer to happen is literally impossible, and you have to take what you can get.
@freemo idk just a guess ![]()
@freemo don't go near camels if you are +ve?
@pixouls French press is good if you want decent coffee without spending too much time perfecting your coffee making skills
@2ck in my country this is super common irrespective of the length of the journey but when I moved to the UK friends always complained about me being weird/paranoid for texting/calling to make sure they got home safely... ![]()
@freemo iirc Arabs have something in their culture about not mistreating animals so that may not be a good indicator over there since from your statement we could end up making the generalization that all Arabic countries are safe which we know isn't the case thus, your statement is wrong. Proooff by contradiction.

I believe there's a chance we might unknowingly be in an interstellar war in which the first consciousness to spread itself throughout the universe will dictate how consciousness is experienced until the heat death of the universe. Thus, it's my duty as a human-derived consciousness to ensure that whatever survives this war is a consciousness compatible with our notions of justice so that future conscious descendants of our species may enjoy the same benefits (or more) than we currently have. This belief has several practical implications day-to-day for me; my utility function is to maximize the chance that human-derived consciousness survives long enough into the future (until the universe allows so).
