People there wave to you as you pass by, and if I took the time to stop and say hello, I would often be invited in for a cup of tea and a chat.<br/><br/>It&#39;s a lifestyle that I prefer. 2026-09-30T21:51:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsysjldnjjyv5cly78yp84se0hclq2xtzxtsjzy2fkr608849t7dsgzyqxqy003uhyv5q5syte2e3e7qc7hlhx2r7ejme7mmgnjpwppwm0hjardukc My energy providers website stopped working properly for me this morning.

I understood it had become a very multi faceted hobby. So a week ago I erected a 40 metre long (half wave) end fed wire, in an inverted V shape in my garden (8.5m at highest point). Since then I have spoken to people in 33 different countries! I has been fun playing on the HF bands. 73 de G0TGD.<br/>#HamRadio 2025-03-14T21:58:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsz8lhxvkphmjp762gh89knpcx4apuxkh9r6eyaumczm4mlj7p4s4gzyqxqy003uhyv5q5syte2e3e7qc7hlhx2r7ejme7mmgnjpwppwm0hjm8tv2s In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswjk5fvzjpdgldf3k4wswt56hnjgfhdn42lm3wh5q2mt3zu9j4lnqt4n7vz'>nevent1q…n7vz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I moved my projects from Github to Codeberg a few months ago, I have been very pleased and will become a member in the very near future.<br/>Thank you for providing such a great service. 2024-12-13T20:19:05Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsq5ulj5cpufvyesutthycgdl0gwxgprwdw7unfwwmqn9e75st9l6szyqxqy003uhyv5q5syte2e3e7qc7hlhx2r7ejme7mmgnjpwppwm0hjdm5cf2 Growing tired of GitHub, and them now forcing me to use 2FA feels like the last straw.<br/>I do self host a cgit instance, but what are the fediverse people using to share their work if you don&#39;t use #GitHub 2024-09-24T17:53:59Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqszhg7nn2rfjv0nk4plsa2hw9h9yq8pvn0h9rqd4k5vuwlvnpty6vgzyqxqy003uhyv5q5syte2e3e7qc7hlhx2r7ejme7mmgnjpwppwm0hj240754 Very pleased to have my #rc2014 blue box rear panel installed.<br/>Apart from the obvious Z80 bus presentation on the rear panel, I have a power supply connection with on/off switch, a USB socket for a keyboard, a USB socket for a removable disk, and an my second TTL level serial port on an FTDI compatible header.<br/> <img src="https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/113/147/484/173/237/227/original/cbca24d9d90ac2fc.jpg"> <br/> 2024-09-16T13:33:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv7yd5ucc0z6x6kyp39rmvyqdspy7a842mxapeqw7hs4z2hnxywmgzyqxqy003uhyv5q5syte2e3e7qc7hlhx2r7ejme7mmgnjpwppwm0hjgprd4c Very pleased with my new RC2014 front panel...

Ddos is never something I have worried about, after all what would they possibly gain? But technically you would want to block traffic before it hit your link. Difficult if you don&#39;t control the other end of it, but you may be able to introduce a proxy or two in a DC, to protect you by only forwarding legitimate requests - the trick is working out what is legitimate. 2024-08-03T13:48:15Z
