Lol, that’s mostly what I do with my SDR, although lately I’ve been watching the ISS SSTV experiment.
I'll get to the real projects!...eventually

I just realized how easy it is to receive satellite transmissions after reading how I could get the ISS repeater using a handheld radio. I’m going to look into using the RTL-SDR to decode signals.

For a moment I thought this was a ham radio sub, not Lemmy Shitposting lmao

Did that a long time ago. These days I just listen to the Radio Garden app on Android, which shows you all the online radio stations dotted around the world.
Want to listen to what they’re listening to in Nairobi? Spin the globe to Kenya. Or maybe talk radio from Scotland? You just spin the globe and hit the lock icon.

Scottish talk radio sounds like a trip.

Mine has just been gathering dust because I can’t be fucked to calibrate my new Sprite hotend.

I bought mine to print out a replacement plastic basket slider for the deep freezer built in the 1980s with a 4 digit Kenmore model number.
But learning how to use the modelling software to make the shape to actually get that done is taking longer than I thought in my spare time. It became a lower priority than other things.

…I kickstartered one of the first consumer 3D printers… it’s still in the box.

Info? It might have more „historical” value than you think. Multiple 3d printing yt channels would probably like to show such a thing.

But you’re teaching yourself a valuable skill!

That’s my justification at least! And I can use it to do small scale contract print jobs for locals and make a little extra side cash, so I guess it works out too.
