Remote code execution vulnerability found in meshtastic, looks potentially bad enough that you might be able to make a worm.

@M0KHR 💯

meetings take up the most time on my work schedule 😢

Even a teams message could have worked as well as an email, instead of the meeting, lol

I hope your meetings go smoothly!

@AF0AJ oh interesting! hmm, JTDX Improved is a bit older, so it might not have the ability to log directly to Cloudlog/Wavelog

But, I use Gridtracker2 to listen to live logs from JTDX Improved and then push them to my Wavelog instance, I *think* Gridtracker2 might talk to Wavelog without SSL/TLS

@AF0AJ I like using JTDX Improved

I feel like overall JTDX does a better job at pulling more stations out of the noise than WSJTX, I'm not too sure what they do differently, but I'm always surprised at how many more stations I see on JTDX than on WSJTX

Listen to an audiobook. librivox.org/ has free, public domain books recorded by volunteers.

I'm so grateful for the information on some of these old ham sites, but man is it traveling back in time. Some havnt been updated in 15 or more years but are still up. I wonder how much info was lost when sites like geocities went out.

@arth also, I think LiveJournal is still a thing too

@arth it's probably not technically a "platform" but I use Hugo to write my blog in markdown and then produce static HTML

If you have a cheap VPS or something, it's probably not too bad to set up Hugo, but if you don't want to deal with the backend, something like Blogger/etc. is probably sufficient

@HopelessDemigod sweet! lol

just in time for me to head out for the evening, 😂

I did get some contacts made throughout the day, but not a lot, and it was mostly 40m or 20m, heh

@willc this is such a good album 🙂

also, I'm sad to learn on the Wikipedia page for it, that it is likely Weird Al's last studio album 😢

@F4LUB yup, the .onion address should show up at the bottom of my blog too

@AF0CX that might work too, I have plenty of cheap VPSes laying around, I could do that

@F4LUB maybe? I'm already hosting the blog on a .onion address

so, it looks like if I want to host my website on the #Gemini protocol, I'll need to disable the DNS proxy thingy on Cloudflare

anyone else know of a way around this? without exposing the IP of the host, possibly? 🤔

if not, I might eventually disable the DNS proxy thing, but I'd prefer not to, heh

I'd like to start a petition against the sun

No angry sun on the weekends! lol
