I enjoy thinking and doing. Not necessarily in that order. This is my amateur radio account. I can also be found at @abraxas3d

OK cyber-sleuths, I need your help!
I can't find high-resolution images of the #Hacktoberfest t-shirt logos for:
* 2014
* 2015
* 2021
I've searched GitHub, Dribbble, Wikimedia, Archive.org, and a bunch of reverse image sites.
These are the logos I'm looking for. Ideally SVG, but a high resolution raster image would do. Can you help?
THANKS GANG!
Help request. My brother has Stage 4 colorectal cancer.
His life insurance has refused to pay out on a technicality, meaning he and his loved ones cannot afford the mortgage on their home.
I've never asked for anything in return for infosec stuff, but if you have anything spare, please chuck it this direction instead:
@OpenResearchIns board meeting starts. Working on #OpulentVoice issues on GitHub.
Reminder that, once investigators got past Elon’s tactics of hiding real driving and accident data, #Tesla cars were found to be the most dangerous and lethal cars on US roads.
But I’m sure the new taxis will be great.

Imagine not having to worry about what OS you use because of accessibility so much that you can literally refuse to run stock Android for privacy reasons. Day in the life of a sighted nerd, a pipedream for blind ones.
it's really sad. besides being excellent investigators, they're also excellent communicators to the general public, publishing numerous videos on their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@USCSB
Oh gosh there is a photograph of this

No further comment needed I think... poke @johncarlosbaez
Some US researchers want to leave the country. Can Europe take them?
Two clothing items entered in the local county fair (San Diego County, California, USA). Description in alt text. The Tuxedo won third place and the reversible embroidered jacket won first place.
I've boosted a few posts about the AIDS quilt exhibit in London, but haven't linked to anything under the #QuiltingNews hashtag. Here's a couple of recent articles - Huck has better pictures of the quilted panels, but the BBC has personal stories about some of the people memorialized in the project

@BlindHams thank you - we will gratefully accept as soon as it's ready. We got the constant overhead byte stuffing protocol part working just now, and have something weird going on with frame order out of the priority queue. Command line in general is stable, with a verbose mode producing copious debug and quite mode knocking things down to "just the facts". There are potentially a lot of statistics and quality indicators that can be exposed, but I can't have that be messy or intrusive.
We now have all the network layers installed- RTP UDP IP for voice, UDP IP for chat and control, and UDP TCP IP for data.
The next part could or should be an HTML interface that does not get in the way of anyone that wants to do radio, following best practices advice.
Nothing works better than actually using it, so we're trying to get it working over the internet, treating a server like a satellite or a "groundsat" earth station central node, as soon as possible.

Ok now. Have you ever had a dream? Have you ever wanted to do something that everyone else said you couldn't do? Like, build a bridge to Mars, own a unicorn, or get enough sleep.
Far be it from me to impugn the efforts of a company to simply provide the specifications that I need to connect my SDR directly up to JTAG.
@sluttymayo literally laughed out loud.
"hey sweetie, i'm sorry, they were sold out of the warhammer space marine codex you wanted, so i bought you a copy of the catechism of the catholic church and a history of the at&t bell telephone system and glued them together. i hope that gets you started at least"
@BlindHams Things are working as a command line python script. Now, early on in the process, is the time to ensure accessibility for hams.
I'm getting conflicting advice. I'm a compromised vision developer but can get by. Making this digital mode really work is very important to me. What is the best radio interface practice that we should adopt?
@BlindHams greetings blind hams network. I'm working on Opulent Voice which is a high quality voice, text chat, and file transfer amateur radio protocol. I must have this be accessible. It won't move forward unless it is accessible. We are at an inflection point. What is the best interface? Is HTML-5 interface to the radio station the best way forward?
