    #NetBSD definitely needs some font tweaks out of the box - I&#39;m reading this thread for things to research: https://www.unitedbsd.com/d/1626-improving-font-rendering-on-netbsdctwm-fontconfig Otherwise, it&#39;s running well - sending this toot from Firefox on NetBSD.

    We also ran up to Embree and Little Burnt Bay today, which is about the same distance as Hillgrave, but the other direction, both lying north of Lewisporte. This is the hulk of the HMS Calypso, which was one of the last Royal Navy sailing corvettes, however it also had a steam engine It was on my list of things to check out because it served as a training ship for the Newfoundland Royal Naval Reserve pre-WWI, so somewhat near and dear to my heart as an RCN reservist.

    @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I&#39;ve used a small tire jack with wood blocking to straighten out steel frames in my unhinged youthful riding days

    Taking advantage of a rainy down day at the cottage in Newfoundland to finish getting the newly rebuilt portable system set up for digital. Mostly just getting direwolf and fldigi set up, nothing crazy or difficult, I just didn&amp;#39;t have time before we left. I&amp;#39;ll think about throwing a wire in the tree later on this aft, if I figure out how to waterproof (lol..water resist) the EFHW&amp;#39;s balun with the materials I have on hand if needed.

    @mike@thecanadian.social @pachli@mastodon.social IMO, this is a client side choice; don&#39;t dictate how people consume the fediverse. I fail to see how lobbying against client side featureset in the fediverse model has any upside at all.

    54.8067 kHz run. Warm, midges, breezy. Standout music track was Second Skin by the Gits. The guitar tone on the &amp;quot;Live at The X-Ray&amp;quot; version of this song is fantastic - so much better than the studio version. #AmateurRadioRunningLeague

    In fact, there were people actually submitting patches for the AX.25 code, and then the next post in the thread was like &quot;oh, hold up, the patch ahead of you to rip everything out was accepted&quot;

    NetBSD looking better every day. I dare say CTWM (their default window manager) is actually pretty charming in its own industrial way
