I wonder if antenna polarisation was a factor.

Thank you for documenting your journey. Regardless of the outcome, in this case excellent, it’s what helps the entire community because it provides information and inspiration to the next amateur who finds something odd in their shack.

I haven’t watched this, but I can tell you without any doubt that this is absolutely rubbish.

The disaster zone is still in rescue mode, infrastructure is pretty much wiped out, humanitarian aid hasn’t even started arriving and there’s no evidence of scientists being on the ground to physically inspect the area to figure out exactly what happened and how.

Mind you, that’s not stopping the armchair “experts” from making YouTube videos, complete with Assumed Intelligence slop, that explain everything as fact, rather than the fiction it so clearly is.

What is it that drives your desire to increase the size of the fediverse and what makes you think that sport is something that everyone cares about?

If you want to have more sports because it interests you, then start a community on an instance that wants it, or failing that start your own instance and put whatever you want on it.

The beauty of the fediverse experience is that I can choose to engage with or ignore your efforts exactly to the extent of my level of interest, as can everyone else.

What you appear to have failed to understand is that there is nobody who will do this for you, it’s your responsibility to do the work.

The “space dominance” you refer to is not real. There’s exactly as much space available as you want, because all of it is virtual.

We’re not here to make money, we’re here to build a community and the decentralized nature of the fediverse is intended to keep communities small, cohesive and personal, rather than large, disjointed and impersonal.

I can’t tell who’s enjoying it more, you or the Joey.

And using a light pen you could record from the TV!

Fun fact, those computer games were recorded on audio cassettes.

Now stick it in a frying pan and heat until it’s slightly golden brown.

ProTip: Eat slowly, blow often, otherwise it will leave more than a mark on your mind.

Which kind of cassette?

• Audio
• Video
• Film
• Printing
• Typewriter
• Genes
• Concrete
• Casket

There’s probably more.

Anyone remember “Microsoft Works”?

(It didn’t)

Here’s a discussion about such websites as well as open source alternatives.

Yes, that’s an excellent explanation, which is why I shared it 27 days ago 😁

Mind you, to be fair, our instance was having some synchronisation issues which might explain why your post is 42 minutes old, or why you didn’t see mine.

Either way, LoRa is pretty cool.

The post was talking about streaming, not cable TV.

Simple solution. Stop paying ESPN.

I look forward to reading your contribution!

Another Famous Dad Joke:

It is impossible to put down!"

If you think YouTube is paying for it, you’re not running a channel of your own at something like 0.001 per view.

Why can’t we have this kind of information as a document that we can read, rather than a video which requires a whole lot more infrastructure?
