Note linking is what did it for me a few years back. It’s possible in OneNote, and clunky as hell.

I was sold the moment I read links can be wiki style in Obsidian.

They’ll regex those bug reports so fast it won’t even matter.

There are plenty of “compromised antenna” options for you; there are loads of amateur operators who simply run their antenna around the largest room in their apartment and make long-range communications. It’s not optimal, but it works.

There’s a whole movement in amateur radio right now which relies on being light and portable. A 15 meter carbon fiber mast, some wire, 12v and 100W and you can work the world from a park.

It’s been a while since I setup my system, but as I recall they are interconnected via the smart hub, and do not need internet at all. When I first configured our system, IOT was probably the topic of an exploratory whitepaper and not yet reliant on internet. But times have changed! Give it a bit more searching; we’ve been happy for quite a long time with the devices. They even have plugs which you can convert dumb devices to a smart HA device—but you’ll have to get them on eBay because they’ve been discontinued:/

Caseta switches can handle 3-pole switches in exactly the way you’ve described. You could even set them up with dimmers, pico remotes (and eliminate one of the switches). If you get the wireless bridge (now known as Smart Hub) you might be able to tie it into your HA depending on your ecosystem.

Network effect with a hint of extortion.

Taliban, August 2021: “We’ll be different this time, we swear!”

I have 100% experienced this. It feels a little strange, that emotional distance, when speaking in the other language. The words are much more factual and feel less subject to internal biases.

Everything old becomes new again.

It makes drivers politicians uncomfortable

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit.

Worse. Willing to bet this port came with infrastructure money and a guarantee that if the Peruvians don’t pay the Chinese seize the port, becoming de facto sovereign territory.

For good reason. It’s basically a speed run of enshittification from day-one.

They have! 2030.

I’m not sure if it’s a mandate, or a goal, but it’s there.

While it’s no consolation to these current people, they are trying to make the switch to lead-free aviation fuel. It’s partly a regulatory nightmare, and partly a genuine safety challenge; mandating a fuel change in aviation without adequate research and understanding can result in unexpected engine malfunctions.

There are ones with clauses that say “cancel any time” and then when you actually try to cancel they make it a substantial pain.

In preparing to get my ticket in 2020, I hopped on the Utah WebSDR and even got a shortwave listener (SWL) QSL card from a guy in the Cook Islands (E51JD).

Earlier this year I made a two-way QSL (contact) with him using my rig and 100W.

There’s a ton to learn, do, or accomplish if you want. So many facets to amateur radio.

I’m working on CW now!

Under a local law, drivers are supposed to be paid even for the time they spend between trips. But Uber and Lyft found a money-saving loophole: Simply prevent them from logging into the apps, erasing some of their working time from the record.
