69kb of ram is enough to explore space but 8gb will struggle to multi task.

They have a recieve range of 134-176 I think and 420-480, as long as it's standard analog you should be able program in some fun things to listen to.

I have one setup for railroad frequencies and I hear some unique conversations.

Damnit, I stopped distro hopping 2 years ago and settled on fedora. Here I go again

In my family we literally have a refrigerator that has been passed down 2 generations. First it was my grandmothers, then it was my dad's and now it's mine.

The thing is a tank, clean it out and do preventative maintenance every so often and it should live longer then me.

Some antenna's you can trim if they are reading a high SWR. Another thing thing I do with my mobile antenna is I check for any rust after the winter months because the salt can really wear your antenna out

I had a person park in front of my driveway, throw on hazards and disappear for an hour and their battery ended up dying. She ended up walking up to the door and asking for a jump. I declined help and somewhat politely informed her not to park in front of driveways.

Few month later it turns out my neighbor was cheating with this woman.

Yeah I estimated around 90ft however I lost around 9 and a half feet to turns and bends and was left with a few inches to spare. There's a little bit of slack but it's hard to tell.

Yeah I tried to teach her not to click on links and stuff. She goes past all the warnings and enters everything. She no longer clicks on the rich Russian man get free money stuff or your computer is infected call us. But she still gets fooled by all the well crafted phishing attempts and it doesn't help that she is on every mailing list under the sun.

Surprised nobody has tried to buy a house in her name, it would be a good wakeup call. I mostly did this so because some nasty piece of malware was able to jump over the network from her computer to my mom's computer and almost steal all of the credentials to her bank accounts. Thank God for MFA.

 

Took me about 3 and a half hours to do this. Looks good, now I need to get off the couch and begin segmenting the network for when my SO clicks on a green download button.

I used to be that way too, decided I was going to splurge on 2 fixed yagi's and 1 yagi on a rotor and they are all 30 feet above my roof and I pick up around 60 some channels.

Not a tv show, I wasn't necessarily a kid but I remember stumbling on LiveLeak...

For those who want to know what it was.

Tap for spoilerIt was a video of a guy getting dragged behind a car down the highway.

I use antenna tv, and whenever there's a ad I use that as a time to grab a bite to eat or to use the restroom.

 
 

Hello all, I'm trying to flash linux mint to a old thinkpad I'm refurbishing. However, when I go to flash the ISO to the USB, balena etcher throws the following error's

[23381:0729/101159.717484:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times! [23340:0729/101202.577845:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from 'GtkFileChooserNative' to 'GtkWidget' [23340:0729/101205.337371:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: ../gobject/gsignal.c:2777: instance '0x37b801188b20' has no handler with id '5761' [23381:0729/101205.693383:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 2 times!

I would like to note I'm flashing this ISO from my main computer running fedora, and I installed balena etcher from an RPM, (Already tried the app image, but it seems that FUSE is acting up).

Thank you in advance!

 

Hello y'all, I recently got a cheap uv-5r off of Amazon so I could use APRS in a off the grid location, however I'm encountering a large set of problems with the radio.

First off all, I already tried the 3 finger unlock, doesn't work. Second off, I can program channels into it with chirp, but the radio will only beep if you press ptt. Only channels 1-30 will transmit, however if you change any of it in chirp it seems to revert back to gmrs.

Thanks for any help in advance.

 

I'll start off, my favorite song is all along the watch tower by Jimi Hendrix. That guitar at the start just sounds so beautiful.

 

Hello guys & gals, I recently distro hopped to fedora and I'm having problems getting the NVIDIA driver to properly work. I get a error when booting that says "Nvidia kernal module missing - falling back to noveau" I've tried the following;

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/711756/fedora-nvidia-kernel-module-missing-falling-back-to-nouveau

I should note this is a laptop and my GPU is a 1660Ti and I can toggle the iGPU from the bios.

 

Hello, currently I use qksms but its very problematic and lacks basic fetures. One of those issues being you cant send videos, and sending and recieving media is pixalated or blurry because of a commpresion issue. I've already tried adjusting the compresion options in settings to find out it doesn't work.

What messangers do you guys/gals recommend?
