Hey all, I'm writing a post about the best open-source alternatives to Google's Android apps. I already have a lot of the big ones (Firefox, ProtonMail, K-9 Mail, Signal, etc.), any more suggestions?

#android #oss

Here's an article I wrote for Linux Magazine about the programs you can use to access Mastodon from your desktop, phone or wherever. Hope I didn't forget any!

Ahí va un artículo que escribí para Linux Magazine sobre el Mastodon. Cubre los programas que puedes utilizar para acceder al fediverso, desde tu portátil, desde el teléfono, desde donde sea:

No README yet, but for the benefit of anyone who sees my APRS packets tonight, here is my no-QRZ console license lookup tool. https://github.com/alrs/fcc #amateurradio #go #golang

just granted my Japanese #amateur #radio license JJ1UYC - I will be operating C4FM, APRS and simplex on hikes around Kanagawa and Kyoto prefectures over the next year.

#introductions

Hi,

I'm Rajeev from Bangalore, India. Licensed as vu2ocy for over 30 years. I mainly work #CW / #SSB on HF, with my favourite mode being #CW on straight key! :-)

Here is my modest station setup :
HF Rig : Kenwood TS-450S
HF Ant : Mini G5RV
VHF : Icom IC-T7H dual-band HT

Was active on HF from Mombasa, Kenya as 5Z4GT during the period 1999 to 2003.

Would be interested to homebrew some multiband/directional #antenna for HF and also get into digital modes.

73 de Rajeev, vu2ocy

holy
shit

May we please revive hashtagging interests in #introductions? I feel for the newcomers to the #fediverse who aren't told that only the #hashtagged words and phrases are #searchable, unlike #Twitter.
They'd have instant magic of connection with the trick of hashtagging their interests, like so:
#coffee #OnlyConnect #ACIM
#fountainpens #geocaching
#learnpython #commandline
#CentralEuropeanFood
#ADHD #geocaching #snailmail
#letterwriting #silentmovies #silentfilm #reading #mysteries #linux

I have an original raspberry pi sitting around doing nothing.

Any suggestions for something to keep it busy?

Just realised Signal finally backs up keys, so you can now move across devices!

🎉

(This is for Android, iOS is still being worked on)

My phone for Hamshack Hotline shipped. Looking forward to it. Excited to start playing with VoIP again, and getting on to conference bridges and RF links.

tonite is #80sSynth & #NewWave nite!
