Would anyone like to do an account takeover of my account one day?
You know, one day of posting whatever is important to you to my audience.
I mean, I have 6.656 followers, so not the world, but there are some great people out there with much smaller reach and arguably more to say.

If you're interested, reach out to me. Offer doesn't expire.

“Earlier this year, Trump’s team upped the percentage of the campaign’s fundraising that goes to the Save America PAC, which largely exists now to pay bills.”

The main PAC funding Trump’s 2024 campaign spends the bulk of its money on legal fees, not only for Trump, also for many of his employees past and present. The entire operation is so shady. It works a lot like organized crime does, with people getting their legal bills paid to ensure loyalty to the top guy. Details reported here (gift access): https://wapo.st/452PZXO

Time for a sticky post on µField Day...

µFD is a monthly ad-hoc ham meeting I put on in Ventura County, open to all hams and clubs. Some months are sponsored by one of the local clubs.

It's a short 4 hour gathering to try stuff out and make sure that portable operation will be easy and familiar if you need it in a pinch. Most months we see 10-15 stations set up.

Details at the new BORED Net website, www.theborednet.net

I hope that Mastodon folks who like to scold newcomers will realize how off-putting -- and damaging -- that behavior is.

Please be helpful, not scornful. Let's reduce the genuine risk of poisoning fediverse growth, and thereby giving social-media oligarchs indefinite control over online discourse.

"The electric bicycle is a game-changer, much more significant than the overhyped, expensive and insufficiently green e-car: global sales of e-bikes are projected to reach 40 million next year, compared to 9 million for electric vehicles. Globally, most trips are less than 10 kilometres, which e-bikes can cover within half an hour."

why I enjoy #JS8 more than #FT8:

‘FT8 transmits and receives only the bare essentials needed to make an amateur radio contact (QSO): Exhange of callsigns, readability report, signal strength report, and "best regards" ("73"). Because only this information can be sent, FT8 is not a "conversation" mode. FT8 transmits this minimum of information in a semi-automated fashion on its own time frame. Therefore, FT8 is not a "keyboard-to-keyboard" (real-time chat) mode.

JS8 is a variant of FT8 which allows operators to send more information and converse with each other. JS8 was created to allow the basic principles of FT8 to be applied to sending actual messages (instead of just the bare minimum QSO information that FT8 limits operators with).’

Your instance admins put in a lot of time and effort to keep things running as smoothly as possible.

It's always awesome if you can show your admins some love and throw a little donation their way. Even just $1 or a $5.99 subscription goes a LONG way and says so much.

If you'd like to support us here at #AllThingsTech, you can do so via the link below.

Donations aren't mandatory, but they always put a smile on our face! 😀
