- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 6 days ago:
I have all of my email sent to my own domain, so while I would lose previous emails, if my provider just up and shut down, I could just switch to another provider, change a few records on my DNS, and all of my emails would go to my new provider from then on with no problem. I control the domain after the “@” sign.

I don’t own any IoT devices. And I absolutely refuse to buy any device that does not support fire gig Earth’s Wi-Fi.

Which is why I’ve totally disabled the 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi band on all of my routers for several years now and only use 5 gigahertz.
- Comment on Antenna mounted in attic? 1 week ago:
On HF it probably wouldn’t be too bad since the signals would generally just go straight through the surface. On VHF and above though it could be problematic.

Eventually, it won’t just be for disaster areas. It will be for the entire United States and will show up anywhere that you would normally not have a signal.

I don’t know anybody who uses SK as end of contact. I’ve always heard it referred to as the operator being deceased.

Um, hold up for a second. Did the author seriously at the very end of the article say 73 SK? I’m sorry, but those two things do not go well together.

Starlink was approved by the FCC to run a limited test in North Carolina and Florida in the damage pads of the two hurricanes and it’s doing pretty good as well. With their system, anybody on any carrier can get wireless emergency alerts and currently T-Mobile customers can send and receive text messages.

- Comment on How is Lemmy better than Reddit? 3 months ago:
Federation, this makes it immune to large-scale disruptions because a single instance may go down or a couple of instances may go down at the same time, but the entire network cannot be taken offline all at once without taking the internet itself offline.
