    HAM-is-not-ham And your example must be one of those weirdos on 80m. What a pack of crazies.

    I don't think Zitron has been right about anything in the last 5 years. But he talks a good talk.

    Did they have writing and kept records that we've found? That's the "recorded" part.

    Hermes seems to pick up after a stoppage. At least I've never had to push it again, it might just take a long time to finish a task and then I'll see the messages in the transcript…

    Exactly like all the "community-scripts" that were started by a fellow that passed away a couple years ago. I've been railing against the install one-liners for years to obviously …

    Nothing about this bubble makes sense. Why should this?

    You could exhaust Windows networking or filesystem features in an afternoon. Linux could give you a career. I spent 20 years supporting Windows server and server applications like …

    I've gotten to the point that if you're trying to show me something and I see you're using Windows, I just assume you're an unserious person and it's worthless. All the major tools…

    It astonishes me how aggressive people are on this issue that have never turned a wrench on a Deere machine.

    Man, I remember doing this in the late 90s with ipchains as the only way to get a router that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Eventually consumer/prosumer routers came out. What's ol…

    It would still be wiser to tie your own router into the hotel system as a gateway, and keep your own PAN behind that.

    Wouldn't that just immediately get it thrown out as non-cleanroom invention considering the source of the weights is extremely public-domain heavy?
