@DemonSixOne @MagicMoshe @phnt @ins0mniak @p @silverpill @zero @Zergling_man @shibao Yeah that's what I'm getting at...just wondering if anyone (still) does it. Like if packet radio's gonna be stuck at mid-80's speeds you might as well use that tech to move bits around, but I don't know if anyone in the ham world's all that interested in that. I've seen PACTOR and winlink in action and it's like "oh yeah check out my $3K 300 baud modem, it can send an email in just 5 minutes!". Stuff like FT8 is cool at a technical level, but as far as I know guys just use it to exchange contacts instead of doing anything interesting with it.

I remember reading an obit on him on one of the plan9 lists I was on, don't know much about him but it looked like he did some cool shit.

I don't know how many more Rockstars and sleep-deprived hacks it's gonna take for me to reach divine psychosis but I have a feeling I'll get there.

@p @MagicMoshe @phnt @ins0mniak @silverpill @zero @DemonSixOne @Zergling_man @shibao AX.25 is cool and all but it's slow as shit (has anyone tried doing UUCP over AX.25? I'm pretty sure UUCP was designed around X.25 originally) and I wish there was something more established that's faster than that. Meshnet shit seems cool but also a lot of money you've gotta dunk on weird gadgets and I just wanna build my own shit.

@ins0mniak @MagicMoshe @phnt @p @silverpill @zero @Zergling_man This is the antenna I got for sattelite work: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005010262893980.html

Sattelite hams seem to reccomend "arrow antenna" brand but this is the chinese version. Pretty solid

If you want a whip antenna for a baofeng/quansheng then abbree antennas work pretty well. I got the ridiculous 48-inch folding antenna for my UV-K5 and it works like a charm. Lots of gain

@ins0mniak @MagicMoshe @phnt @p @silverpill @zero @Zergling_man Sure I'm down for whatever.

> i got a hackrf

Ah nice. I just got an RTL-SDR dongle and a UV-K5 but that's been enough for me to get around. Been tracking sattelites and shit, tons of fun.

@DemonSixOne @MagicMoshe @phnt @ins0mniak @p @silverpill @zero @Zergling_man I've been thinking how easy it would be to set up your own cell tower with just a few SDRs. GSM is pretty easy and I did some research and one of the 4G LTE bands falls right in the 2.4GHz ham band. So in theory there's no legal shit to stop you

@p @MagicMoshe @phnt @r0y @ins0mniak @silverpill @zero @Zergling_man Yeah man, all the PLA shit is great, some of the funniest shit I've ever read/listened to. Like I've had the bot going for a while mostly for my own entertainment
There's a torrent with all the calls and txtfiles and a lot of fun bonus stuff: https://phonelosers.com/media/torrents/PLA_Media_Torrent_2025.torrent

@p @MagicMoshe @phnt @ins0mniak @silverpill @zero @Zergling_man > You can still do it with pagers

So I've heard but like, I think only hospitals use 'em these days.

> And, like...entire radio spectrum is full of really fascinating shit.

A while ago I picked up what sounded like a repeater from the states on 2 metres VHF for a few minutes. I didn't catch the callsign but it said it was part of a network that seems to have the closest node like 400 miles away. Crazy shit.

@ins0mniak @MagicMoshe @phnt @p @silverpill @zero @Zergling_man You ever read about PLA? Old phreak zine from the 90s but instead of being about haxx it was mostly just them going around scamming and fucking with people. Shit's amazing and the guy's still does prank calls, see @r0y

@ins0mniak @MagicMoshe @phnt @p @silverpill @zero @Zergling_man Tbh I'm kinda sad I missed out on the era where you could just tap cordless phones and cellphones with a scanner. Sounds like it'd be hella fun.

@lolitechengineer @Suzu @adequate @p I think @sampler has made a few hot sauces by this point, you can basically grow whatever you want in his climate. Making hot sauce is also only a few degrees away from homebrewing.
