You raise an important question, one that I don’t have a good answer for, despite having been part of the amateur radio community for 15 years.

Here’s how I’d approach this.

In the case of natural disasters, there’s often frequencies set aside for emergency traffic, which presumably is the way to get messages into a disaster zone.

If you’re describing that, then I suspect that the amateur radio emergency organisation in your country is the place to start, which raises the questions, which one and how?

If you’re describing something less than a natural disaster, talking to your local amateur radio club might be a better way to go, with the same questions.

If I had HF access right now, I’d get on air and make noise for you, but I don’t.

Finally, what message are you trying to get where?

That seems odd to ask on a public forum, but anything we do on HF is going to be public, more so than here on Lemmy.

This seems relevant:

Is it just me, or does that seem … abrupt?

It was fun doing the research. No word from the museum or any grant opportunities yet 😇

Edit: I’ve just heard back from the museum. I’ve seen the article. It might be the tip of the iceberg.

That’s interesting, since my list of addresses contains numerous ones that don’t exist and nobody here has ever used.

Interesting.

I see a list of email addresses.

I am not sure what you are talking about.

I have a domain registered and can see exactly which addresses have been compromised by what, without payment.

ProTip: the Ubuntu version number includes the year and month of release. 26.04 will be released in April 2026. 26.10 in October 2026.

What they’ll do when they hit 2100 is left as a rollover issue for the next poor sod.

ProTip: push your knee(s) against the sink for extra support. Initially you’ll feel a little weird, but you won’t care after your back stops hurting. You can also use this when brushing your teeth and washing your hands.

Given the massive layoffs happening under the Assumed Intelligence banner, the answer has always been: “cheaper labour”

Apparently people who actually know how to do their ICT job are too expensive, right until the shit hits the fan, at which point it’s “drop everything and help me, now!”

Organisations are no longer run by Founders, instead they’re run by accountants and lawyers who only care about shareholder value, not the societal or environmental impact.

When the bubble finally explodes we’re going to be looking at an altered economic and technology landscape, if we don’t self ignite before that.

In the vast majority of operating systems the person who installs the system is by default the highest privileged user, in the case of some of those systems, that user is called root.

However, the word root is also used to describe the basis of several file systems.

No.

Secure boot is about trusting which (signed) software is running.

This is excellent and important. It also serves to highlight that registrars are making an absolute fortune off the back of this effort.

I’ve been thinking about this for a bit, if all traffic is end-to-end encrypted, the server connecting two endpoints doesn’t have access to the data, so as far as I can see there’s no reason that this couldn’t be implemented using federated services.

I would be surprised if such a service doesn’t already exist, just waiting for widespread user adoption, which undoubtedly relies on mobile phone apps to pass a minimum threshold of viability, something which both Lemmy and Mastodon both struggle with.

The people here today are really part of the early adopters, once you start seeing mainstream media talk about the fediverse, you can expect traction.

And all three users rejoiced!

Seriously, while self-hosting is an option for some, it’s not viable for the vast majority of humanity and unless something revolutionary happens, that’s unlikely to change. Ultimately, technology is complex and our dependence on it will continue to create friction.

As it turns out, not every problem has a simple solution.

It’s likely going to take down whole companies if not countries.

Always!

The point I was trying to make is that End Of Life is in the eye of the beholder. Just because it doesn’t get any updates from the manufacturer, doesn’t mean that the user has to throw it away.

Similarly, a user can give the device to a second hand store and the next user can use it … and so on.

As I said, it is not a fixed date or concept.
