struggling w properly learning Rust in depth to write a couple of servers/services, took a step back & re-wrote a quick version of one in D, stared at both sets of code for a while… now re-thinking original commitment/plan to build all the servers/services in Rust first. code in D seems just so damned more *readable* & easy to crank out & then incrementally modify…

time to take a walk & think about beginnings vs goals, & about how the perfect sometimes can be the enemy of the good

All right, time for another fun student project! Starting around 12:00...12:30 UTC, we will be QRV testing our morse oscillators on 40m, just below the WSPR frequency at 7038 kHz.
Power will be QRPP, around 300 mW, but friends in neighboring countries might be able to pick us up :)
Listen for my call DK3HD, DL0WH or DK4BX

Now that was fun. We made some mistakes, but much CW was learned, and there was a clear winner - one student reached a distance of 530 km with 300mW in the mid day sun.

Even during a chaotic wave of mass protests, some Homeland Security staff believed these practices were dangerous to civil liberties & possibly illegal. How could technologies like Cobwebs be used against protesters in the future, and what privacy protections would be in place?

The #IRS plans to end a major tax loophole for wealthy taxpayers that could raise more than $50 billion in revenue over the next decade, the U.S. Treasury Department says.

The guidance and ruling being announced Monday includes plans to essentially stop “partnership basis shifting" — a process by which a business or person can move assets among a series of related parties to avoid paying taxes.
