I am completely new to this world. Everything I know is from the internet - hamstudy.org & YouTube primarily. The prospect of communicating with satellites is thrilling to me! I'm also interested in the "surival" uses of alternative forms of communication. #introduction #ham

I am making tons of progress on my #OSS . #FOSS APRS project called #Digipex.
I got an igate relay hosted (this will be neccesary to ensure we can get dup packets):
I got a web-app going that will display allt he clients on the map and give some statistics/status info:
I also have the most important part, working code that talks to the radios and routes / rewrites packets. Right now it can send/receive, digipeat, and gate to and from the igate.
The code for digipex is here: https://git.qoto.org/digipex/digipex
And you can see some information about my particular digipex node here:
https://hub.digipex.io/views/overview.php?id=43449
The picture below is of a microcomputer (like a raspberry pi, its a khadas) running digipex and showing the packets it deals with on the miniature screen.

#NuttX Shell runs OK on #Star64 JH7110 #RISCV SBC! 🎉 ... But 16550 UART Controller fires too many Spurious Interrupts ... Each Dot = 1 Million Interrupts! 😲

Burns: Well, everybody knows, ‘war is hell`
Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.
Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?
Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?
Father Mulcahy: Um, sinners, I believe.
Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell, but war is chock full of them – little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.

Just to vent into the void. I know the firmware on the computers of people who have fucked me over. Cyber Security is garbage as a field. I saved a business from a very bad UEFI malware attack. I just contacted them and they don't have any openings. I saved their ass and the business yet somehow they need something else?
I did agree to an NDA but it is a horrible idea to treat others poorly. They threatened legal charges and I told them where I was. They tried to kill the machine remotely yet it didn't lock up. Hmm maybe they got outclassed with their certs. Don't fuck with a hacker, there's a difference between certs and someone who has knowledge of systems.
Still it's an NDA so I can't reveal anything but I will say that it would be a good idea to have multiple identities for when one gets stolen.

I like Moderna because of DARPA but Pfizer seems to get the most market share. DARPA chose Moderna over Pfizer to develop a rapid vaccine development program around 2013-2015 if memory serves me correctly.
Moderna is essentially the Toughbook of vaccines. I'd rather have a love hate relationship with my vaccines and not paranoia. The military seemed to be the most trustworthy part of government and I believe they used their own vaccine.
People that say that there won't be any pain or long term side effects are the people I will try to get away from. I'd rather hear about my chances of death and the possible side effects.
There's more to the story but it's a vaccine, not a Toughbook and I don't want to waste your time with a story.
Do you like old fashioned wrist watches? My favorite is Paketa which needs parts for repair. What's your favorite manufacturer of watches?

@Aether if this CEO kills Reddit he'll have been not only the best CEO in Reddit's history but one of the best CEOs in recent memory.
