minorsecond @lemmy.ml Mid-30s guy who lives near Denver. I compete in powerlifting and am into ham radio and reading.
Follow me on Mastodon at @[email protected]
Same for me. I asked on Mastodon and people were saying it doesn’t work for them anymore. Very strange.
You should check out Ham Radio Crash Cpurse on YouTube. Lots of great info there.
I've been considering a switch since my instance has a lot of issues with overloading. I like that yours doesn't censor words. Does lemm.ee have issues with too many people joining and overloading the server?
I was using FreshRSS in a server to aggregate everything and let me read on my PC: https://freshrss.org/
and for my iPhone I use NetNewsWire.
Yeah I was on Kbin but got tired of the UI. Plus there are no apps for it.
We have a similar one here in the US. People think if you go outside when it's too cold, you'll get sick.
Damn, it looks like it still got you.
Let's see if that gets filtered.
Edit: looks like the curse filter Broke that link. Just google “mtg called Biebert a little” and you’ll find it.
They’re pretty much baofengs with much better filtering, so you don’t get front end overloading which can be frustrating.
Most activity, I've seen here: [email protected] but there's a lemmy bug that's not showing a bunch of posts. That should be resolved soon.
These are good cheaper radios (The price has gone up a bit)
They are fine for starting out with, but you'll probably want to upgrade soon. There are better radios for around $75 if you can afford it.
Ham radio! It's relaxing. My favorite activity is to take my portable gear to parks and operate Parks on the Air.
Using lemmy is well worth the $5 per month I give them.
Lol yeah I thought that was cool.
Side note, are you a C developer?
[I ate] Tex-Mex in Hiroshima, Japan
I was in Hiroshima and found this little Tex-Mex restaurant near the bomb dome. It was great, and I say that as someone originally from Texas. Search for it if you’re ever there.
All the ones mentioned mostly. But also Linux in the Ham Shack.
Is SMSGTE working for anyone else?
The APRS SMSGTE service was supposed to have gone down a month or two ago, but it has been working for me the entire time, at least when I message myself or my wife. I've chatted with others on others forums and other people have said it's not working for them.
Just curious, is it working for anyone else?
Some communities not showing posts
I've observed this with a few communities today, both local and federated. Is anyone else experiencing this?
Had a terrible test day, 21 days out
0 likes, 0 comments - Ross Wardrup (@ross.wardrup) on Instagram: "Final test day before my next meet! Just 21 days out. I’m pretty disappointed in how I perfor..."
I was only able to hit 96% on squat, 92% on deadlift, but got a 3% increase on bench, from 270# (122 kg) to 280# (127 kg).
I did take a two week trip during training and had an SI joint tweak around the same time that made me train easy for a while, so that may be it. I’m surprised about deadlift though because I recently pulled 460# (208 kg) off short two inch blocks.
Maybe I just had a bad day? Now I’m not sure which attempts to take at the meet.
Thoughts?
Does anyone else think that the flame and the heart on top should be spaced out a little more?
Maybe just a few more pixels between them?
What are you doing this Shabbat?
I’m going to shul and will be playing games with my wife. I’m going to start rereading Heschel’s The Sabbath too.
How about you?
What other fantasy should I read if I’m obsessed with Lord of the Rings?
I’ve been a huge fan of the movies since they first came out but didn’t read the books until the beginning of this year. I just wasn’t a reader until recently. I’ve been yearning for some more fantasy but haven’t been able to find anything similar. I tried The Silmarillion but it reads too much like a textbook to me.
What are some other great fantasy books that I might like?
A small bug I’ve noticed with upvote counts
I just made this post and it already showed I had two upvotes, which likely isn’t true. I’ve noticed this every time I’ve made a comment lately. Not sure if it happens with posts.
How do you deal with in-laws visiting?
My in-laws are visiting for a week at the end of next month and they like to visit until late in the evening. However, I typically go to bed at 7 PM because I have to get up at 4 AM to train for my sport before work. I'll have just finished a competition and will be beginning training for another one when they're here.
What's the best way to set boundaries with them without coming across as an asshole? My wife will probably want to stay out later while they're here, so I'll have to figure out a way to compromise.
To make it more interesting, what are some things your in-laws do that annoy you when they visit?
Favorite PR day music?
I have my final test day before my meet coming up on Sunday and I'm looking for some really heavy/hard music to listen to during my attempts.
What is your go to music for this?
To start it off, here are three of my favorites:
Best way to recover fully before meets or test days?
I have a test day coming up on Sunday and will be treating it as a mock meet (my meet is 23 July). My knees and lower back feel a bit beat up still. My program gives me about a week of deload sessions before testing so I'm good with that, but I'm wondering what I can do to help my knees and back.
Any suggestions?
What’s your favorite bad movie?
My wife and I are in the mood to watch something terrible. We just watched the langoliers and hackers so something in that vein would be fun.
What are y’all’s favorite shitty movies?
Edit: I have been corrected: hackers is a great movie. I'm sorry everyone.

Favorite powerlifting / strength training books?
I'm going to go with Scientific Principles of Strength Training. A lot of good stuff in there. I have Boris Sheiko's book but haven't started it yet. I've heard it's not so great but I love his programming so picked it up anyway.
What are some others that are good, informative reads?
What are your field day plans?
If it’s not too muddy, I plan on going out to a nearby park and operating portable on emergency power by myself or maybe with a buddy. If it is muddy, I’ll try setting up in my backyard. I’m hoping to get a lot of good CW practice in!
What is everyone else doing?
I get "did not receive auth response" when I try to sign in with lemmy.ml
I've tried https://lemmy.ml and just lemmy.ml as the server but I can't sign in. It has been this way ever since I downloaded the app last week.
Am I doing something wrong?
