No joke. Just think of all the LoRa stuff out there.

I'll check it out. I've been using Breezy Weather and have been happy with it as well.

Yes

I'm for the preemptive de-federation.

How is it on resources? I have a i386 project computer running Debian 12 and I'm looking to make it as "modern" as possible. Right now, my fight is with slow browsers and LibreOffice (I'm trying to avoid the Abiword, etc route).

It does provide a benefit - but to the very greedy, very few. If there was ever parity, the bands would be filled with their greed noise.

I would recommend someone get in touch with the NLRB - it can be done anonymously, if needed.

Just about every single union out there has an advisory board that includes employers.

Absolutely not true. I believe you are confusing a Labor Management Committee - which is a common space for the Union and bosses to meet and discuss issues.

Bosses are not in legitimate Unions.

Source: I serve in an elected position in a sizable Union where I also serve on a Labor Management Committee.

Secondly, Unions are for the Workers - not the bosses. To hell with "costs." Enough sympathy for these people. If they can't afford to pay their workers a good wage and provide them a quality work/life balance, they don't deserve to be in business.

I think a 40m EFHW might be your best option. If you can keep the antenna up for extended time, you can make a window bulkhead with some wood or you can buy one of the fancy ones MFJ makes. Otherwise, you could just run your coax to the antenna and then tie (with parachord or similar) the ends to the tree, etc and something sturdy inside.

A more expensive solution would be to use a magloop inside. You could also get a vertical and put it in the yard and run coax to it.

I was a Xubuntu user for about 15 years but have an old EeePC running Debian.

I just recently moved my main, home computer (10+ yo EliteBook) to Debian 12 and am very happy. I will be soon moving my amateur radio "shack" computer (bought last year) to Debian as well.

Forcing Snaps and Snaps' terrible usage of disk space (in my experience) is what made me move. The annoying Firefox update warning only served to aggravate me further.

I do use a couple Flatpaks (did with Ubuntu as well) but it was my choice - not a requirement. I haven't had any disk use problems or bad experiences with them.

If like add another question - how about in a RPi too? I believe there is a LineageOS android TV out there. For anything have any experience with it?
