New radio and FT8
I recently got myself a Xiegu X6100 HF transceiver. It”s a pocket-size device that packs 10W of power while plugged, and 5W when on battery. It also includes an SWR meter and a tuner, which is a nice to have when, like me, you only have kinda shitty antennas. For the device itself, nothing much…

Yet another reason you should use Signal
If you haven”t left Telegram behind yet, time to do so. The CEO of the company, Pavel Durov, posted the following today (archive link with full message): This summer, Telegram users will gain access to the best AI technology on the market. Elon Musk and I have agreed to a 1-year partnership to bring xAI’s…

Solokeys is still dead
Almost one year after hinting to a return, Solokeys is still dead, as shown by their repos, issues, and discussions never being answered. Funnily enough, they are still selling those on their website, but that goes without saying you shouldn’t even touch those given the great lack of care they’ve shown in the project.

This Discord exploit will steal your data, kids, and even your job!
Another day, yet another chain message. This time, it claims that Discord has “partnered with a Generative AI company” that created a bot that they “sneak into every server”, which “scrapes art/images on the server to train their AI”. Because the primary source of this is chain messages (that are basically chain emails 2.0), the…

The best way to edit wikis
I”m a frequent editor on the Resonite wiki, meaning I spend quite a lot of time editing pages (duh). Recently, I”ve discovered the best way of editing the wiki so far, all from my favourite code editor, Sublime Text. For this, you”re going to need to set up packagecontrol and install the Mediawiker extension. Once…

So many drafts
I have at least 10 posts for this blog in the pipeline, all of which are blocked at the draft stage right now. So, that’s what it’s like to have writer’s block huh.

New backpack!
Recently, I needed to purchase a new backpack because my old one, some Lenovo one, seriously started tearing and having other issues. I scoured the web for a bit until I realized HELLOTUX, the ones behind the official Fedora merch, also conveniently make a backpack. Shipping went really well, it took around a week for…

Fine, I’ll do it again
It’s no surprise that I hate how search engines have evolved over the years. Going back 10–15 years, those were really useful and gave you the information you wanted, when you wanted. Nowadays, results are only slop and ads, which completely defeats the purpose of a search engine. Well, time to change this. Back a…
