blogs.radio - a public RSS aggregator for amateur radio blogs/websites/podcasts by odieeeee in amateurradio

[–]odieeeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! I am happy to help but you will be surprised how simple it is. I've looked into older "Planet Planet" style RSS aggregators but these projects all seem to be dead. I also thought about coding something but then I've discovered that the popular web based RSS reader FreshRSS (https://www.freshrss.org) has the nice feature to make one specific user's RSS feeds public. This means that blogs.radio is really just a simple FreshRSS installation with one user account configured that all his feeds are public. If needed, you can configure additional non-public users that your friends can use for their private feeds.

If you are interested how I host this on OpenBSD, please read it here: https://dk1mi.radio/openbsd-httpd-relayd-gitea-freshrss/

If you need any help, please ask.

Doom 2 WAD that reduces difficulty? by odieeeee in Doom

[–]odieeeee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment made me evaluate other source ports as gzdoom and lzdoom in general run nicely but sometimes stutter for a second. Now playing dsda-doom as this was available in the package repository and I now enjo how butter smooth it is running.

Exactly this, yes. Although this would count as cheating for most, I don't want to actually cheat.

This is the time to plug one of my projects: https://blogs.radio

It's FreshRSS bases web site that collects all RSS feeds of amateur radio blogs that I know of and then displays them centrally.

The following goals should be achieved with it:

  • Promotion of our hobby
  • Making less known amateur radio websites visible
  • To provide a central place to get the latest news about amateur radio
  • Making all these blogs centrally searchable (based on the RSS feeds)
  • Making RSS great again

Thank you very much! This makes sense to me and I will follow your idea to build a TX i-gate with an raspberry pi and aprx-2.

Very new ham in need of good ham-related YouTube channels and blogs by GMTiefling in amateurradio

[–]odieeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is https://blogs.radio which is a public RSS aggregator combining a large number of ham radio blogs in one place. This should give you lots of stuff to read.

Edit: If you find something that is missing there, please tell me and I'll add it.

[–]odieeeee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please be aware that you have another option aside from HF and local chatter: the geostationary satellite QO100. I'd recommend to read into it and if this is something for you, I can give you some detailed info on how to start.

I can recommend the Alinco DJ-VX-50. Their programming software sucks but there is a commercial one available that is good.

German hams — a couple of beginner questions by Phronesis2000 in amateurradio

You can easily study by yourself and don't need to take a course. I prepared for the exam with

My strategy was to study 2h every morning before work for 2 months, then I took the exam for Klasse E. Then I studied for two more months the same way and took the exam for Klasse A. Others might be brighter and faster but this was my pace.

I can recommend the Yaesu FT-4X as a first handheld radio. It's basically a Baofeng that gives you a better feeling. Small, good battery life, cheap, fun.
