Quick GOTA session (yes, I was in my garden) with my QCX mini on 20m using a portable vertical ant. Not a single RBN node picked up my signal. A bit disappointing. I guess the ant is a bit too much of a compromise. I think I will try a different one next time.

mastodon 4.7.3Ham radio operator. I know. Quite the surprise.
Try my Android Morse trainer "Dahdidahdit"! You can even practice sending with it. #qrp #MorseCode #cwops #lid #nobot Other than that my current ham life is basically just reading mastodon.radio.

It happened! An OX contact from two weeks ago sent me their QSL. I'm good to go.

@gg@tuffidon.de das "smart" bezieht sich vermutlich auf Ziele, wird dann SMART geschrieben, ist eine Abkürzung und das M steht dann tatsächlich für messbar. Der Rest steht für Spezifisch, Akzeptiert, Realistisch und Terminiert.
Die anderen Wortpaare kann ich komplett unterschreiben.

Okay, wow. That award certificate or a new car. But what do the young guns always say? YOLO.

@adele@phpc.social also you know how it goes, right! Now that we can render Markdown in the browser, can we have stylesheets? And JavaScript? And videos? And two weeks later it's the same mess as the web that we know and loathe.

@justvanrossum @paulvanderlaan @letterror @Bahman the nomenclature is probably from the IT world where "production anything" means "this is the stuff that is used in production", i.e. in an actual factory producing things. Or deployed to the cloud, used by people to produce things (whatever that means in the given context). But it is definitely not the stuff we use in the test lab or on our dev machines.

@famirafonts This looks really great! I love the combination of the strictness of a sans-serif font and the hint of hand-drawn easiness.

@r_alb@mastodon.social the irony is that your post (as well as every other post including mine) will be used to train the slop machine. Also, and this is far worse, a few years ago we could not be sure that you are not a pack of dogs. Now we cannot even be sure you have a pulse.

@adele@phpc.social fun fact: that is the original idea of the web, only the mark-up language is a bit more verbose than Markdown.
