I have not heard a car for a few hours. Not even the rumble of traffic in the distance and I can see the night sky without light pollution. It is a very privileged experience in some ways and while it has its advantages we are measurably disadvantaged in most human development metrics: health, education, income etc compared to people living in urban areas of our own country. The disadvantage is real and pops up everywhere from cancer survivability to suicide rates. Equitable internet access is more important than many people appreciate. If we can improve services to everyone AND protect radio astronomy that is a worthy goal.
How does fiber being cheap help them if no ISP is willing to dig miles and miles of trenches to lay it and connect to their home? I live in the middle of suburbia and don’t have access to fiber.
Your comment about subsidizing their lifestyle doesn’t really make sense. What are you subsidizing exactly? This tech is also useful in poorer countries that don’t have the infrastructure at all.
I have a bit of an obsession with handheld systems. I’ve always been on the lookout for cool handhelds. Probably started with some leapfrog devices I had when I was a kid.
Some of the more interesting ones include a piboy. A raspberry pi 4 stuffed into a gameboy dmg like shell to emulate games. More recently I’ve been very into my analogue Pocket. I play a ton of stuff on that as it can accurately recreate a ton of older systems. I’m also quite interested in getting a playdate at some point, but have yet to justify it.
I also have some modded GBC and GBA systems. With USB c charging and nicer screens
Fair warning. If you are looking at the piboy by experimental pi, their website has been mostly down for months now. They seem to have abandoned the project :(
Now those are fancy! I really like the joystick support.
Related, do you have any recs for an SP-style emulation handheld? I love the clamshell for tossing in my backpack

China has announced a ban on Gacha game mechanics (and lootboxes, predatory discounts, and gambling) which should hopefully ripple out to Europe and the US soon.
A lot of these mechanics were adapted from the Chinese gaming market and I think the same will likely happen in the reverse.
Same, World of Tanks is the first game that comes to my mind when people mention pay2win mechanics. I am quite happy that I don’t play that game anymore.
Baikal i Radicale to proste do postawienia serwery CalDAV. Oczywiscie mogą działac tylko w sieci lokalnej, wszystko zalezy od Twojego setupu. Jesli nie robisz zadnego port forwardingu to domyslnie bedą dostępne tylko w sieci domowej. Sam korzystam z Baikal i uzywam aplikacji DavX^5 na Androidzie do synchronizacji co dzieje sie automatycznie jak połącze sie z moim wifi
Teoretycznie cokolwiek co jest self-hosted powinno dać się ustawić, żeby działało tylko w sieci lokalnej. Ja używam Yunohost i Nextclouda na nim, ale to może być overkill jak na sam kalendarz. @dynks ostatnio gdzie indziej lobbował za anytype.io do podobnej roli, chociaż to dalej bardziej groupware, niż sam kalendarz.
Edit: może być warto crosspostować to pytanie do !wolnyinternet - sporo osób śledzi tą społeczność przez inne usługi fedi, może dać ci sporo więcej odpowiedzi.

Na wrocławskich Stabłowicach trwa obrona osiedla przed zalaniem przez Bystrzycę. W nocy woda zaczęła wlewać się na jedną z ulic. Zalane są ogródki działkowe. Mieszkańcy Osiedla Słonecznego mają żal do władz miasta, że nie otrzymali żadnej pomocy. Sami zbudowali zaporę i sami płacili za piasek. - www.onet.pl/informacje/…/6fl6bsj,79cfc278
Radiation associated with Starlink satellites was detected at observing frequencies between 110 and 188 MHz, which is well below the 10.7- 12.7 GHz radio frequencies used for the downlink communication signals.
(The original article said 5M radiation, which should be around 60MHz.)
So Starlink is emitting RF in spectrum where they shouldn’t, which is avoidable, but takes effort.
My guess, and I could be wrong, is that this could be related to something other than the radio(s), such as switching power supplies finding opportunistic structures from which to radiate.
Starlink seems like a genuinely interesting and useful technology, in some ways.
But it also seems like it might not be worth having.
I’m thinking they might need to be deorbited, but I’m not confident in that yet. It sounds like it might be fixable in a new generation of Internet constellation satellites.
Idk how long the issue should be tolerated to wait for that, though. And while Starlink has a good amount of customers this kind of Internet is genuinely useful for, it’s still not a lot compared to all the other internet services.
Maybe Starlink deorbiting should come along with an expansion of the traditional communications network. But maybe it would be extremely expensive to reach Starlink’s customers with towers or cables.
Sam używam NextCloud ale to jest spory pakiet, w którym kalendarz to jedna z wielu funkcji. Jest dostępny m.in. na disroot.org i nch.pl. (NextCloud wspiera dostęp przez WebDAV.)
Jeśli rzeczywiście Twoim celem jest uruchomienie własnej usługi, to nie mam dobrych pomysłów.
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice had such a vivid portrayal of auditory and visual hallucinations and the psychological aspects thereof, as well as being rooted in genuinely spooky themes. Playing it in the dark with headphones was a truly psychologically scary experience and it didn’t really rely on jumpscares for the scary factor. ( which to me is a huge plus )
I played so many games on my Palm Pilot back in middle school. My Palm Tungsten T3 was great, and there were a shitload of freeware or shareware games released over the years.
Metro 2033 and Half-Life 2 lol, I cannot play horror games. I quit Metro, couldn’t help myself.
But at least I completed all HL games apart from Alyx. With all achievements on base HL2 and EP2.
Ravenholm was manageable if I play without sound 🤣 But there was a long tunnel section in EP1 that was very uncomfortable and dark, felt longer than Ravenholm.
Obviously this is a problem for radio astronomers. I keep hoping we’ll build the proposed Lunar Crater Telescope so we can have a truly silent view of the universe.
For multi-mode (full duplex) you would still need a power amp repeater every 500 meters, which requires a lot of power and create noise. You can’t be quiet with noise.
Yes, because there’s no way to transmit power or data anywhere without being loud af in any signal spectrum. It’s physically impossible.
Even with fiber, you need a laser to beam the signal, and a powerful amp on the moon to recieve the signal and boost it with fuck ton of high power repeaters to the other side of the moon which is also loud af
Be that as it may, it’d be minimal compared to the interference that terrestrial radio observatories have to deal with.
I guess I’m just saying that I don’t understand why you’re being so negative about the concept when it’s clearly going to be orders of magnitude better than existing antennae.
