Valid, nor did Trump. Yet another reason to vote third-party.

@freemo They break ties and count electoral votes and other such minor duties. Other than that, not sure why people think VPs have any power to do anything. After a few decades it's hard to remember their names unless they end up as president one way or another.

Well, partial success - I did actually get heard through the space station and relayed back down to Earth.

The down side here is I didn't hear anything on this pass, possibly due to atmospheric conditions. I did hear the ISS beacon one pass back, so I can confirm send/receive through the kernel AX.25 stack does work, I just don't see to be able to it on a single orbital pass of the station.

The reason I don't want ECC is the cost. I have already blown up my budget with ASUS TUF Gaming motherboard and brand new intel 13th gen i5 because I don't want to gamble on cheap stuff.

I do plan on using those cheap stuff until I saw the comment saying it's frustrating when you have to going back and forth with the customer support team.

I'm planning to build my own NAS and now decide to use Unraid instead of TrueNAS because ECC memory will be important to ZFS compared to other filesystems. (I saw this from a lot of discussions)

My question is why? I know ZFS rely on RAM for caching, but why ZFS is more vulnerable to memory corruptions? And why other systems like unraid and btrfs are not as emphasize ECC memory?

It's quite interesting to see two major voices. People from TrueNAS side suggest you must have ECC memory if you care about your data. But people from unraid side said ECC it's not worth the money.

I also think if I keep a list of hashes when I back up my data, then ECC might not be nessary at all.

Well I threw my QSL cards up for sale. This is the first time I've ever sold a physical protocol, so hopefully everything goes well: https://ncommander-shop.fourthwall.com/products/kd2jrt-qsl-card-oregon-trail-design?

Thoughts welcome, but really I'm just excited that I got this all setup and working.

I just cut two lenghts of 21m wire, which is going to be the basis of my 40m antenna. HF baby here I come!

Well I'm pretty sure I just found a race condition in the Linux kernel involving the fact that AX.25 probably has only ever been tested at 1200 and 9600 baud.

This post to linux-hams (https://lore.kernel.org/linux-hams/CANnsUMHwRsUEhwwvTn1pi6Ct3U=Xw77ESz5xB+fhtyfDc_J8Ww@mail.gmail.com/T/#t) is the same exact problem I ran into.

I haven't tinkered in the kernel in a very long time, and as far as locking and queue interfaces, I'm probably going to need someone to point my in the right direction. If you're interested, let me know.

The company I founded has now officially reached 16 full-time employees and 21 people if you count our Board of Directors and Board of Advisors. With about 3 or 4 more hires in the queue and more to come.

So exciting

The following line about Steven Seagal is hands down my favorite line anywhere on Wikipedia:

> Fujitani stated that: "The only reason Steven was awarded the black belt was because the judge, who was famous for his laziness, fell asleep during Steven's presentation. The judge just gave him the black belt."

As a second degree mason (so very new to #Freemasonry ) I have to say, I am very impressed with the quality of the people and their stated values. I particularly like the requirement for study of religion and the study of the sciences and arts. Very few organizations are wise enough to put importance on both.

The requirements to join Freemasonry I find particularly noble:

* Must be of good moral repore
* Must study and learn the arts & sciences (Math, Astronomy, music, language, and logic are specifically listed).
* Must believe and study god or a higher power.
* Must treat his fellow man with compassion and love
