Getting started in amateur radio is the beginning of a life-long journey. https://github.com/vk6flab/getting-started-in-amateur-radio/blob/main/README.md A new project to help new amateurs locate the amateur radio on-ramp. Please submit patches and resources for your country. See [Australia](https://github.com/vk6flab/getting-started-in-amateur-radio/tree/main/Region%203/Australia) for a starting example. #introduction #tutorial #hamradio #amateurradio

#ot Can someone please explain why when I set my Mac to &quot;Only download&quot; updates, none of the updates are downloaded and I have the privilege of watching my system download 10 GB of data? #apple #ux #softearegore

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/116558864224439236 So .. an organisation holding you to ransom shows you logs of your data being destroyed and you believe them? Even if they did actually destroy data, how do you know that they didn&#39;t make a copy first, let alone the idea that logs cannot be fabricated by an enterprising individual. Paying seems counterproductive.

Reading this gives me all warm and fuzzy feelings of safety and compliance enforcement by my local radio communications regulator, the #ACMA ... NOT. Nothing quite like letting interference go on for months. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05-06/car-locks-disabled-signal-jammed-bunbury-hospital/106647316
