Art H.

I am a husband, electrical engineer, IT worker, and ham radio operator just trying to live a quiet life on my own terms. Former Coloradan, now living in #NewMexico since April 2025.

I post mostly about
#HamRadio #AmateurRadio and related topics, but any random thing that enters my mind may end up here. I do very occasionally post #USpol but I do not CW them. I do use the hashtag though, so you can filter those out if you don't want to see them.

Don't let the recent join date fool you. I've been around here for a while, but I've jumped instances a few times.

@transicorn@mastodon.social I rarely travel far enough that I have to worry about charging on the go, but I do like to be able to charge things around the house without being tied to a wall socket. Thanks again!

@transicorn@mastodon.social That looks like exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!

Looking for a new power bank. I rather prefer one without an integrated charging cable. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Power bank found!

Hot take:

Discord is not a documentation platform. It is a chat platform. If your project requires connecting to a discord to obtain necessary information, then your project is undocumented.

Are you on #LinkedIn? Do you actively use it? I had an account there for many years, but never really used it. Then a couple of years ago I hibernated my account because I was tired of being contacted by "recruiters". Finally, a few months ago, I deleted my account altogether.

@HopelessDemigod@mstdn.social I liked the zip disk form factor. They were physically the perfect size with just the right amount of chunkiness. The 3.5 inch floppies, even though they were in a hard shell, still seemed a bit too insubstantial at times.

Should people who are late for their flight get to cut to the front of the security line?

The neighbors across the street are in their back yard playing checkers and drinking with some music absolutely blasting.

@lauren@mastodon.laurenweinstein.org The character limit thing always bothered me. Even though most of my posts are rather short, I still like to have the ability to post something longer if I need to. The server I'm currently on is set to 100,000.

And to see someone clutter my timeline with a dozen replies to themselves to post something longer than their server's character limit always annoys me. I've unfollowed good people because of that.

I could not be prouder of Indivisible Santa Fe. Front page coverage of our ICE OUT OF HOME DEPOT action, amidst news about how ICE is “quietly” disappearing people from .

Front page of the The New Mexican featuring a large photo of two women embracing. One is carrying an ICE out of Home Depot sign. The other is wearing one on her back. There is another protester in the frame also wearing a sign on his back. The headline of the story reads “ICE quietly seizing people in Santa Fe.”

Huh. Did you know that Portland, Detroit, Ypsilani, Seattle & Long Beach (WA) have free payphones? They're run by an indie organisation called Futel. You can visit the phone booth, make a call and that will connect you with an operator who will help you connect further:

"We do not judge the motivations of our users, or who they choose to call; if they don’t have someone to call, we can provide a presence on the other end."

Radio operators or engineers, have you ever received an RF burn?

It’s a five minute walk from my house to the pub.

It’s a 35 minute walk from the pub to my house.

The difference is staggering.

What is the largest USB thumb drive you own? I'm going to assume everyone owns a 16 GB or larger drive.
