Open post Jake Averill @ja@toot.wales · 5mo ago Replying to @veronica@explains.social Today is a great day to learn about Debian. It's far from perfect, but by golly once you learn it it's pretty sweet. Highlights: Everything is transparent, sometimes painfully soDebian isn't a companyYou still have apt, so deb packages still probably workFlatpak makes desktop use easyHate updates? Debian only releases a major new version every two years.Nobody is ever, ever, ever going to sell you "Debian Pro" If Ubuntu's got you down today, I dare you: give Debian a try. @veronica I've been using Debian Stable on my desktop and laptop for a while now and I really like it.

Open post Jake Averill @ja@toot.wales · 2mo ago Replying to @jamesb@fedi.duckduckpigeon.co.uk @M0YNG@mastodon.radio @VE2UWY@mastodon.radio @M1CGG@mastodon.radio I'm not sure about the "wrong" RSL being permitted. I was under the impression that you have to use the right one except the E is optional in England. But I'm no expert. We did realise the other day that any suffixes like /M or /PUB are entirely optional and not restricted at all now. @jamesb@fedi.duckduckpigeon.co.uk @M0YNG@mastodon.radio @VE2UWY@mastodon.radio @M1CGG@mastodon.radio you can't use the wrong RSL. If you use one, it has to be correct, but it's completely optional now.
Open post Jake Averill @ja@toot.wales · 1mo ago Replying to @ian@mastodon.radio Today we have done 6 POTA parks, two WWFF, two SOTA, four bunkers, a castle, a lighthouse, and a contest. Uploading all of that lot, plus my own log and a blog post, feels like a problem for tomorrow me... @ian@mastodon.radio blimey! That's a lot for one day! Most importantly: was it fun?
