Yesterday AWS Ground Station announced the general availability of Wideband Digital Intermediate Frequency (DigIF). This gives operators the ability to downlink up to five channels, 400 MHz total, per polarity. This feature delivers Wideband DigIF data across AWS’s low-latency, high bandwidth global network into a satellite operator’s Amazon VPC.

@justintstanley absolutely agree family first! I’m writing between running kids to wrestling practice and to hang outs with cousins.

Every year I’ve been at Amazon I’ve thought about taking this no-persons land week between Christmas and New Years off. But it has alway proven to be the most effective time to write Forte responses 10 down 14 to go.

@ericlee hoping it’s nothing serious and you can heal fast

I have just learned that I have been laid off, three days before Christmas.

I have a lot of emotions right now, but instead of airing those out I'm focusing in a more positive direction. I am looking for a full-stack engineer or back-end/front-end developer position in the information security space. I am proficient in Python, JavaScript (React, Node, Express mainly) and am getting proficient in Rust. I have my GIAC Reverse Engineering Malware (GREM) certification and am comfortable in a systems engineering role with Rust or C/C++ as well.

Contract work welcome, full-time employment preferred. Appreciate the support and hope your holidays are off to a better start than mine!

Share widely. For all of us.

I’m trailing by a few minutes on WC feed but I don’t know that I agree with France’s first half substitutions.

In a perfect world we wouldn’t need this discussion but what we need is social media manager by a multinational non-profit NGO funded by some kind of international tax or fund. Federated is fine but I’m not sure it gets to the root of what’s needed.

“Amateurs focus on the tactical, professionals focus on logistics” loving this quote right now.

We are starting week 2 of my wife having COVID. While I’ve always appreciated all that she does for this family I’m not appreciating why she falls asleep at 9pm while watching a show she asked me to put on.

@sfoskett sounds like a Charlie Brown special is needed, The Christmas Pumpkin

USMNT again finishing a game playing not to lose instead of playing to win. This is hard to watch.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Curious for my non-US friends does your WorldCup pre-game and half-time coverage heavily emphasize your countries team even if they aren’t playing that day?

@ericlee modern version of Turkey in the straw

That was not offside #QATvECU #worldcup2022

New white paper on AWS Nitro released today. Great doc detailing isolation security within the AWS EC2 stack https://docs.aws.amazon.com/pdfs/whitepapers/latest/security-design-of-aws-nitro-system/security-design-of-aws-nitro-system.pdf

Absolutely shocked that this reversal took place and beer won’t be sold at World Cup games this year. 🙄 seriously FIFA putting the WC in Qatar was a terrible decision from the outset the fallout will continue through the tournament. https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/11/18/qatar-world-cup-beer/

Anyone staying up to watch the Artemis Launch? Cloudy and raining here so I won’t be able to see the arch path.
