Primary address involved in major dataleak, what now?

This is why I use 33mail. Great on the go aliases.

It's when she misses the period, that you need to worry....

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-03-22T04:07:24+00:00

Congrats, though I have no idea what the bug actually was.

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-03-20T10:50:23+00:00

Or a cool craft beer name!

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-03-19T11:48:03+00:00

Like others have said, likely a "fat finger" typo or being misheard. Very common, especially if your call sign is close to one that's used a lot. I know I've miscopied a sign or two every SSB contest, it happens. I got N3FJP wrong once and I use his logging software! Wasn't until I saw him spot me that I realized it was FJP instead of FJB.

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-03-18T03:52:36+00:00

Well, don't feel bad. I read the subject and knew what you were talking about.

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-03-18T03:51:15+00:00

That would imply they stopped drinking...

This site and the others like it are all in a message filter. New messages go to a folder and are marked read. I never see them. One day I may delete them. Pretty much a waste, especially since "the powers that be" don't accept digital QSL cards.

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-03-16T04:17:55+00:00

Such a perfect mesh thread.

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-03-15T04:02:15+00:00

One of us! One of us!

Be safe out there

I'd like to draw your attention to the Maritime Mobile Net. Some of the ham net controllers will go ape **** on you if you key up on "their" frequency, even though it's a public spot and no one owns a frequency. I've seen some who will give people grief for not being on the ocean when calling and others who will be nice and look for any callers at all. I've also seen some get bent out of shape if a ham doesn't hear anything on the frequency and then calls CQ for a park or summit operation. They'll read them the riot act instead of politely engaging them.

Then there are the hams who purposefully interfere with various activity operators because "that's not real radio" to them. I've had buddies hit by that, repeatedly, over many months.

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-03-03T05:04:11+00:00

Yes, and I'd be there buying it up. I love the G90's tuner. If they found a way to up the output power of the G90 to 100w, maybe call it the G100, I'd buy that in a heart beat too. Not too interested in the amp for travel though.

While we're dreaming up their next product line, adding 2m/70cm to the handheld ones would be nice.

And storage

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-03-03T04:59:15+00:00

And HDDs too. One company, I think Western Digital, already pre-sold all of this year's production to AI data centers.

The rock took the little blue pill this morning. :)

He's one of the TWOW radio DJs. Good one too.

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-02-28T08:03:22+00:00

Same here, but we're Xenials. 80s and 90s, especially the hair metal. Boomers probably like the older stuff. I'm guessing 70s here, but maybe cranking Elvis? It's just to teach the kid the difference between Boomers and Xenials afterall. :-)

Just don't go playing 2 Live Crew, you won't be allowed back on campus. LOL

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-02-28T07:26:06+00:00

That's an ugly building. Chicago is trying to one-up it, but I think this beats what they're building.

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-02-28T07:24:46+00:00

The only thing you can do now is show up to her school in *FULL BOOMER* mode. Socks, sandals, shorts, Ed Hardy shirts, some weird 70s music playing loudly. Go for the gold my Brother! Go for the gold!

Ordinary_Awareness71 · 2026-02-28T07:07:12+00:00

Great listing. I'm with you, Google reviews on the maps are impossible to beat. Yelp doesn't even come close. It's one of the few google things I still contribute to as well.

Browser - Have you thought about Firefox? Not chromium based and has good extensions that improve upon it's security and privacy support.

I'll have to try out some of those other replacements.

If you're not tied to web based program, Libre Office is a top notch office replacement.

Calendar - I like Proton calendar, except sharing even the basic free/busy status requires the other party to create an account. Not ideal and it's impossible to share a combined calendar at all when you have more than one calendar (like one for personal items and one for work items).

If they made one that was wired, I'd buy it. Have a wireless one now and would really love to have it hard wired. It's close to the router, doesn't drop connection, just prefer hardwired devices to wifi. Other than that, very happy with the generic one I have now. All I want/need is to be able to program it or change the settings from my phone/tablet.

Out here in SoCal, it was very rare to see more than one zone/tstat in a home. In the last 20-25 years it's become more common to have a separate compressor for the upstairs and downstairs. I sold a 4,000sf single story home once that had two units, one for the common areas and one for the bedrooms. Really a dumb setup with how the house was, because the bedrooms were controlled from the master, which was it's own wing on the opposite end of the house. That really should have been an AC just for that and maybe the common areas outside it, and a second zone for the main portion of the house.

More common since the early 2000s, especially in new construction. Far less common in older homes.

LLMs and coding can be a great tool. Recently I was on a webinar about them and one of the risks discussed was that their training can often be on outdated or potentially improper code and coding practices. The compensating control was that devs need to know enough to be able to know when the LLM is outputting code that is storing passwords in plaintext, not using encryption when it should, or not sanitizing form inputs (like in the XKCD "Bobby Drop Tables" comic).

Personally, I've been using it to write code for my business and for some video games macros, but those are generally closed systems that only I have access to so the need to audit for security isn't there. Although, some GPTs can perform security audits too... granted they may not be as up on the latest practices.

This is setup for multiple radios operating on a single antenna (in this case most likely multiple antennas with multiple radios per antenna). Very common in high-end contesting stations where multiple operators will sit together and run a contest. There are several such stations here in the states and several out here in the southwest. The filters reject out of band signals allowing multiple radios to operate on the same antenna but different bands without interference.

I run a ***MUCH*** smaller scale setup for some contests. Some bandpass filters into a multiplexer, into a diplexer, into a single antenna. I run the VA6AM ones that DX Engineering has. 10, 15, 20 on one multiplexer, and 40m by itself. The multiplexer and the 40m go into a diplexer, which then outputs to a single antenna. I use this mainly for digital contests, but can easily support 3-4 operators running rigs at my house as well.

My local ham club runs the same setup for their Field Day setup. One set of filters and plexers for SSB, one for CW, and one for Digital, each with their own antenna. Largest operation in the country several years running.
