Hands up if you have done this at least once in your life…

The SCSI solution requires making sure that you have the right terminator connector because of course there’s more than one standard … ask me how I know … I think the Wikipedia article on SCSI says it best:

As with everything SCSI, there are exceptions.

I can absolutely guarantee that you are not the only person to have spent quality time getting to know the intimate backwaters of a codebase tracking down a bug that you introduced whilst tracking down a bug.

Education.

I’m assuming you’re familiar with Asahi Linux?

It’s still very much a work in progress.

At the moment I’m bridging the gap by using homebrew, UTM, ssh into local hardware and shortly remote desktop on EC2.

It’s far from ideal, but that’s where I found myself after my x86 iMac died last year, so I feel your pain.

It’s interesting that the “worst” corporations mentioned by others here do not include any media companies.

Perhaps you might contemplate why it is that they appear to be “invisible” in a discussion about damage to society.

Is it possible that the narrative around “evil companies” is told by media companies?

Here’s a better question:

Scientists. . how many laws have been gazetted that completely ignore or contradict actual science?

Here’s an idea

Cook double the rice you need for a meal and put half in the fridge for the next day.

Convenient, cheap and available from your own fridge.

Make sure you have warm Coke, are open in the morning and home deliver.

I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic, observant, or something else. There have been many a meal where I was asked what I wanted to eat and it’s rare that I go beyond the words “surprise me”, knowing full well that the person asking would eat the same as I was offered, making the “surprise”, less of a risk and more of an adventure.

In this case, OP asked a completely unanswerable question to which there was absolutely no reasonable answer, since we know nothing about the person, their interests, their experience, the hardware they have access to, or anything remotely resembling a needs analysis.

So, even my answer, generic and random as it might appear, was based on how I use a computer, namely, to be productive. I’ve been using them for over 40 years, mostly like that, with some sojourns into art and personal expression, not nearly worthy of public scrutiny, but not specifically “productive” as such.

So … what were you attempting to say?

Whatever you need to be productive.

This is the second post with Unix and socks on my feed in the past few minutes.

There was a post about software and socks a few weeks or so ago where I replied about a company called functional software that made functional socks which I wore for years, which come to think about it also started a discussion about functional programming.

Anyway, here’s a community where the socks seem to be coming from.

It seems to me that you already have all the gear.

You can experiment endlessly with an increasing number of digital modes.

You can test your skills and improve them in comparison with yourself and the rest of the community by doing a contest. There’s at least one on every weekend.

You can participate in or host a daily, weekly and monthly net. I run one for new and returning amateurs every Saturday at midnight UTC for an hour and have done for over 14 years.

You can incorporate the hobby into other activities such as camping, hiking, boating, etc.

You can build stuff from components, or write software and experiment.

Finally there’s a ham challenge with a new thing to learn or do every week for a year.

I’ve been writing a weekly podcast about doing stuff since I was licensed.

There are any number of things to do if you apply a little imagination to the problem.

This is a hobby, so having fun is part of the gig.

Can your detection method be automated and federated?

I’m asking because this is probably the thin end of the wedge and is likely to increase exponentially, especially since anyone can set up an instance and do whatever they like with it.

Google Lens says:

Which one of these commands is correct?

A sed -e 's/\b(\w+)\b/echo \1 | rev/g' file.txt

B: sed 's/b\w+\b/echo & | rev/ge' file.txt

Csed -e 's/(\w+)/$(echo \1 | rev)/g' file.txt

D: sed 's/([a-zA-Z]\+\)/\n&\n/g; s/\n\(\)\(.*\)\(\)\n/\3\2\1/g; s/\n//g' file.tx

It’s interesting that Google doesn’t even get all the text. I had to manually extend the selection and that still misses the “t” on the end of answer D, munches C and more alarmingly changes the case for “-E”.

It’s not just me being tempted … right?

I’ve never used the tool, but I’m guessing that your Oracle database can create an SQL dump of its schema which presumably is how this tool ingests a database to chart.

Seems legit … wonder what the vi developer had to say.

What specifically are you attempting to achieve, because right now, what little you have shared sends up red flags and rings the alarm bells … loudly.

Based on your updated question, I’d go with cheap and nasty. The radio will be subjected to abuse and the cheaper it is, the less you’ll cry when someone drops it, as opposed to having a Yeasu handheld, or mobile base station dropping on the floor.

The other thing to consider is that you can purchase a several dozen cheap Chinese radios and drop one on the floor every month for the next few years and still spend less money than buying a Yaesu FTX-1F Portable when it becomes available.

There’s debate about Baofeng vs Wouxun, buy one of each and see what you like. The Baeofengs are cheap and sometimes hard to program, the Wouxun is more of a robust radio, but you might not need it.

Consider for example what happens when it rains.

We tested a whole bunch of radios during our hamfest in 2023, report is here: https://github.com/vk6flab/rhp
