Glad to have helped! I assumed that it must be possible and went looking. 😀
(I have the really inexpensive TD-H3 HTs and the manual is so completely useless. The replacement nicsure firmware is not only so much better than stock, but the nicsure documentation is way better than stock. But I would have hoped a higher-end radio would have a better manual...)
If you haven't yet found repeaterbook.com it should help you find local repeaters.
If you haven't yet found chirp, it can be used to program your radio with an adapter cable and integrates with repeaterbook.com to help you get your local repeaters programmed.
Then you can scan in channel mode instead of VFO mode, which will really help for not stopping to visit random bits of static junk. I scanned in VFO mode in the first day or two of owning my HTs to sample the local environment, and then got channels programmed in and scanned channels instead.

@wren6991 hehe so firstly, there's the idea to try to drive the laptop display directly by the rp2350a HSTX -> HDMI (i mean DVI ofc) -> STDP2600 (unfortunately EOL but lets see) -> DP so we could do things like make an instant-on bios-like environment/serial debug console etc. this will only work if i manage to get it to produce sth like 1920x1080@50Hz @1bpp at least (maybe less Hz possible).
and yes, running on the hazard3 cores would be extra neat!

Tolle Nachrichten! Damit wir mal ein wenig auf den heimischen Markt achten, gibt es jetzt 2% Rabatt bei Zahlung per Vorkasse.
Hintergrund: #Paypal kostet enorme Gebühren (die dann in die USA wandern), die gesparten Gebühren möchten wir an euch weitergeben.
#Paypal komplett rauswerfen geht nicht da 95% der Zahlungen darüber abgewickelt werden. Kaum jemand nutzt Vorkasse.
Was nutzt ihr sonst für Zahlungsmethoden?
A somewhat delayed review of 1000xResist, the best game I played last year and one of the best games I've ever played:
mhoye reshared this.
Exempla gratia: _is_ Spec Ops: The Line's white phosphorous scene an effective and caustic critique of Gaming As Usual (as you put it) and the player's moral complicity, or is it a heavy-handed and frankly hokey plot device designed to trigger a cheap emotional thrill?
(Both, obviously, but you may recall some very tense arguing over that point...)
One thing about @grimalkina's work around "identity threat" - an incredibly important and underappreciated idea, IMO - is how easily it can be, and how often it is deliberately, weaponized.
I've said before that I give every kid I teach the Simple Sabotage Field Manual so they have that language in hand when it's being done to them, and now I want to write something like it for the human mind, the Psychological Sabotage Field Manual, so people can recognize when they're under attack.
I recall talking to someone once who called his company and his romantic relationship "we" and it stood out to me.
When I was younger I identified more with a programming language or framework. Much good came from this community but it also hurt more when I didn't like where it was going. I don't know whether I am immune to it now as fundamentally I care about what I am doing, but I am glad I am more aware of the risks at least.
And this was overall quite positive.
Finally feel like there's enough ducks in a row to say... I've got a new job!
I'm departing from civic tech and consulting for a number of reasons, some of which you all can probably guess.
I'm excited about the new role and looking forward to getting my career back on track.
Now it's just a couple weird weeks of limbo before I start.

#GitHub tip:
Don’t post “Any updates?” style comments on open source threads. Any updates would be there already. Open source is a gift; bugging maintainers acts like you're entitled to results. I just mark such comments as spam.
If you want to see something done, do something to help: research specifications, find an existing implementation, write a test case, draft the docs, write a draft implementation, do some code review, test the PR locally, or just anything to help the project.

I officially no longer feel embarrassed about the time I was whining to my best friend about my now-ex via email, and the Sun was glaring so bad on my screen that I didn't realize when the mouse jumped on my screen and accidentally cc'd it to the now-ex.
No, that wasn't what ended it. His narcissism ultimately did, but yeah, that's a thing that definitely made things worse for me. In retrospect, I wish he'd just cut me loose back then. Instead, he yanked my chain for another 4 years. Then I finally wised up and made a clean break.
Anyway, I'm no longer embarrassed about that. Serves him right anyway!
