There is an AI working group in one of the dicasteries that has produced two excellent publications: Encountering Artificial Intelligence ( https://jmt.scholasticahq.com/article/91…

When I was in formation a couple of years ago, I showed our homiletics instructor a ChatGPT-generated homily for our assigned text. He read through it and put his head on the desk.…

That’d be Guinea fowl, but all you’ve done is created a new problem unless you have a large area for them to range and a high tolerance for bird guano.

I use an RSPdx in my shack and it’s one of my all time favorite pieces of hardware.

Can confirm. Grew up in suburban Atlanta during the period depicted, including getting caught in the first big Freaknic blowout he describes. It’s so dead-on it made me homesick.

I used it exclusively for my graduate theology studies - all my papers, presentations, and so on. Along with Zotero, I had everything I needed. Just for fun, I did a few papers in …

:wq! Eternal rest grant unto him. May perpetual light shine upon him.

Also an Extra. I actually delayed renewal this year, but then re-upped when I remembered that I'd been using the callsign@arrl.org email forwarded for a bunch of stuff and shelling…

I don't do a ton of business reading, but Christensen's stuff was top-notch and always on the short-list of recommendations I'd make to others.

With a handheld radio and a Technician License, you can get on the air via local repeaters, work the VHF/UHF satellites, tinker with APRS (using something like this: http://www.mob…

Don't forget low-cost SDR dongles - great for introducing digital signal analysis, satellite communications (wxsat, etc), ADSB aircraft tracking, HAB, and other ham-adjacent topics…

Man alive I lived on that site during those years. If you don't remember or if it was before your time: people anonymously posted internal emails, layoff notices, and so on. Some o…

Indeed, Ecclesial Latin is still the official language of the Catholic Church, inasmuch as documents like papal encyclicals are published in Latin first before translation to other…

Pi3 runs piaware (aircraft tracking via rtl-sdr), pivpn, and pi-hole. Another Pi Zero runs an RF hotspot for ham radio stuff.

What about an email from someone you know (coworker, relative) via a spoofed or compromised account?

...in Rust!

Nice. This brings back some great memories. I used to do a similar one-liner that alternated between white and black blocks, which created crossword-puzzle-like patterns. I'd sit a…

Exactly so, and moreover, during a solar minimum, when HF propagation is sub-par even in OK conditions. The weak-signal stuff is what got me interested in upgrading from tech to ge…

Robert Cialdini talks about this in his book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion."

I thought this same thing. Figuring out who/when to tarpit might be a little tricky, but here's the basic approach for a Debian system via iptables: https://sysadminblog.net/2013/0…
