  I set mine for 99:99 and wing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy.radio turns 3 today!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Here to echo this–it’s nice to have a quiet little instance for when the world news gets to be a little too much. Thank you for taking the time to set this all up and manage it.

  this is fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'all I'm seriously tempted to go back to Reddit.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a great question, I don’t know. It may be client dependent. It for sure blocks posts, though in the client I use (Voyager), I think it lets comments through as I think I’ve seen them, but I’m not sure.

  Configure these and the Lemmy experience is enhanced tenfold:

  TL;DW: These are called ferrite beads. Their composition is such that they dampen or eliminate unwanted RF from traveling along the wire and causing interference on other devices.

  I’ve been lurking in your posts since day one, I admire you commitment!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Contributions for lemmy.radio (and more)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ben, this is great. Your labors of being an admin cover such a wide amount of work it would be hardly fair to be expected to also shoulder all of the consumption costs as well, especially as a user base grows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A lot less blue too... Hmmmm....⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This helps explain why days seem shorter as we age, the Earth is spinning faster due to the conservation of angular momentum. The days are literally shorter.

  I’d have been more interested in the animations if they had used KSP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That infernal + C when doing differentials got me often. So simple, integral even.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨S3 Buckets for Storing Files⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If your VPS’ S3 supports tokenized urls for object management, I’ve considered setting up a homebrew Dropbox-like solution using rsync and cron.

  Which side did it land on?

  Yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people call Michael's house from GTA 5 a mansion?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish there was a way to aggregate communities across all instances, where the community name is identical, rather than having to go out and seek each and every community on a per-instance basis.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy.radio (un)scheduled downtime⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As always, thank you for shouldering the burdens of administering the instance. While I know you’ve said no before to financial contributions—I, and probably others—would still be happy to contribute, even if only to cover the amount equal to your hosting costs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do wealthy people know if the people they meet are wealthy or not?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the function of exclusive social or networking events. Often either an exclusive invite list or very high plate price. You’re either invited to the table, or pay to be there.

  Once you’re at the event, you’re either known, or engage in small talk where details are revealed. Here strategic partnerships form, or there are quid pro quo for access to secondary or tertiary networks.

  It’s not what you know; it’s who you know.

  The horrors persist, but so do I.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could gunpowder be chemically addictive for humans ?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The constituent parts of gunpowder is sulphur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate. None of these chemicals are psychoactive in humans.

  Clockwise and anticounterclockwise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CQ: Getting an international radiogram out.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for this suggestion. ARRL was my first stop, and then Radio Relay Int’l. As you mentioned, third-party traffic is the biggest limfac, which is exactly the second hurdle I bumped into.

  For all our hurrahs for amateur radio use in emcomm, it seems to have fallen wildly short in the instance I needed to use it.

  We have to find a better way, including the politics of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CQ: Getting an international radiogram out.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All fair points, and not an odd question.

  I’ll say I’m trying to get a radiogram from the US to the destination country affected by a natural disaster. I am confident they are fine, but public service can take some time to get restored and I’d like to get a simple message to them so we can establish a very basic two-way via radiogram. The first message from me to them is a “this is a radiogram and for as long as public utilities are unavailable, you can contact the ham who delivered this message to let me know how you are doing.”

  I’m in a similar way that I can’t get on HF :/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If snap benefits are paid for where are the funds going?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the era before the average net worth of a Congress person was in the tens of millions, it made sense because it prevented them from their wages being held hostage.

  Nice try. I’m not falling for yet another hidden Saddam.
