New Year New Blogpost! https://kd9cpb.com/ccnp-2025 blabs all about my #CCNP #CCNA renewal journey that's due by September. No more #homelab until I stop procrastinating on continuing education classes :)

If you're into the #IPv6 and #ipv6only thing, be sure to check out https://conferences.computer.org/sc-wpub/pdfs/SC-W2024-6oZmigAQfgJ1GhPL0yE3pS/555400a785/555400a785.pdf, we did some pretty sweet stuff at #SC24 using RFC8925 and DNS trickery :)
Completely forgot to put something here earlier the year, my bad!
@SoniEx2 nicely done! I'm guessing there will be some flavor of blog post or write-up on this? I have soooo many questions but I'll be patient lol

It's been awhile, but https://kd9cpb.com/roof-upgrade has my most recent #hamr #hamradio #amateurradio adventure for your viewing pleasure!
Had a ton of fun helping to write https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3626203.3670531 about all the RFC8925 fun we had at SC23, come join us at #SC24 to check it out in-person!
Had big plans to update https://kd9cpb.com/linux for #raspberrypi 5 & debian bookworm #hamradio fun, but I should really do spring house cleaning & gardening instead. Made a tiny update, but learning to accept my old blog posts are fading into obsolescence 🙃
Had some fun getting #FT8 magic onto a nearly 20 year old PC at https://kd9cpb.com/wsjtx. It sure looked good running on the square monitor!
I'm not going to create much #homelab and #hamr content in 2024, but what I do end up clicking "publish" on will be a good time :)
Check out what I'm thinking and my winter #hamradio antenna situation at https://kd9cpb.com/2024-gameplan
It's a Festivus Miracle! Migrated my blog to an OrangePi5 via Cloudflare Tunnel this afternoon, full write-up at https://kd9cpb.com/orangepi5
Can't believehow good Cloudflare free accounts & cheap single-board computers have gotten over the past decade, what a time to be alive!
Added more times to https://www.qrz.com/db/N3T, come check in with the The International Conference for High Performance Computing's special event station N3T if you're free!
Not many opportunities for running some DMR traffic over a network built for supercomputing :) #hamr #SC23 #amateurradio #hamradio #DMR
It's October, so I'm back from summer social media vacation!
I'm also back on the #hamradio airwaves more often!
New blog post at https://kd9cpb.com/double-dipoles !
Got a few new countries logged thanks to #FT8 today!
Exclamation Points!!!!
So happy to see my @pancakescon talk up at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfHBF8Nltbo!
Huge thanks to all the con volunteers + showipintbri, @ecbanks and @n2rj for the awesome content linked in the presentation.
Never thought #homelab and #hamradio would go so well together :)
Perfect weekend, excellent @AmericanLegion magazine article on healthy habits disconnecting from social media. I think I’ll do that til it’s cold outside again. Maybe you’ll hear about my offline #hamradio, #homelab and #ipv6 adventures again this fall. Or maybe not 😝 Either way have a great summer!
Taking advice from ChatGPT about keeping my #hamradio stuff running during a lightning storm. What could possibly go wrong?
If you said 5 years ago that I'd go to the nation's fastest supercomputer on a university campus for #IPv6 fun, I'd say "who are you and what did you do with the real Tom?"
Cannot thank the SC23 #SCinet family enough for pulling this off!

@scottdickson thanks for confirming it’s not just my rig struggling on HF today! Really too bad considering how 10m was out of this world recently on CQWW
Happy #ARRL #Fieldday2023 everyone! New hamstick dipoles on the roof just in time, but not seeing anything close to band activity I was expecting.
Is it a less than ideal #FT8 day for everyone or just me? Really hoping I don't have a rooftop issue 🤞
Huge thanks to the @BlueTeamCon staff for hosting me on btcon.link/discord today! Had a fantastic time, great Q&A.
The practice run of the show is up at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMAEbqrY7WM, it's not as fun as my BTC22 or BTCOnline talks, but close enough. See you at BTC23!

A reminder that if you're here, you're seeing a flood of people doing their thing and doing it well, and it can be easy to feel like you're falling behind or not doing enough.
This is a digital illusion.
You are enough. Your pace is enough. Your life need not be measured against others.
