@paulknightly@mstdn.social I treat Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram like a fax machine. I have the ability to send and receive faxes but I only engage with it when absolutely necessary. Maybe twice a year. I’ll only access certain services when I’m directed to something useful that I can’t get elsewhere. And that is usually once a month or less.

@Aut I didn’t find specific power draw numbers, but here are some battery recommendations

• Minimum 2A output (2.5A+ recommended for Pi 3/4 with SDRs)
• 10,000+ mAh capacity for 3-4 hour flights
• Quality brand that won't auto-shut-off when Stratux briefly reduces power draw

Popular choices in the community:

• Anker PowerCore series (10000+ mAh, 2.4A output)
• RAVPower models with 2.4A+ ports
• Avoid cheap no-name brands — they often shut off or deliver inconsistent power

@Av8rdan@squawk.mytransponder.com I’m one of those odd people that pays for a daily dead tree paper to be delivered to my home each day. Probably rubbed off growing up in a two-paper-a-day family. That, and sometimes I get “accelerated” info via Mastodon or BlueSky. And, if interesting, I might track back to a source.
