| 15:36.51 | youtah | lol shalkie spangborn jfindlay and jlp_znc |
| 15:37.17 | youtah | I have, indeed, operated HF Radio remotely controlled from the comforts of my hot tub using various digital communications with CAT control. |
| 15:38.05 | spangborn | Is that allowed? Radio from a hot tub? |
| 15:38.25 | youtah | Yeah, I was remoted into my computer that was controlling the radio in my office via my phone over RDP. |
| 15:38.31 | youtah | my waterproof phone |
| 15:38.38 | spangborn | I thought that was illegal |
| 15:38.47 | youtah | nope |
| 15:39.12 | youtah | it's funny, because people always complain about HOA's and not having antennas and being able to do ham radio |
| 15:39.17 | youtah | they're just doing it wrong. |
| 15:39.38 | youtah | I have talked the HOA into putting in a ham radio station IN the HOA building, and they're paying for it |
| 15:39.54 | youtah | along with some back up generators, batteries, charge controllers and solar panels. |
| 15:40.31 | youtah | Granted.... all of the Earthquakes of recent have helped kind of push my agenda |
| 15:42.30 | youtah | It also helps that I am also a RACES (Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service) member for the Utah Division of Emergency Management, which is part of the Utah Department of Public Safety, along with being Net Control for the Lehi CERT Team and teach radio comm classes at the Firestations in Lehi. |
| 15:43.12 | youtah | ever heard of The War Powers Act? |
| 15:44.39 | youtah | I am one of the few that is authorized to transmit during declared emergencies when the President of the United States specifically invokes the War Powers Act. |
| 15:46.38 | youtah | you could too spangborn |
| 15:46.44 | youtah | it starts with one simple step |
| 15:46.59 | spangborn | Kidnapping you? |

| 16:29.32 | th3ph3d | Article saying it was removed from the text: https://www.eham.net/articles/5061 |
| 16:34.49 | youtah | Yes, you're correct. The Automatic part was removed... but must follow the directives of the FCC |
| 16:35.57 | th3ph3d | Yep, FCC always sets amateur radio rules. |
| 16:37.27 | youtah | Also keep in mind that you still have to comply by part 97, not just 214.4 |

| 21:17.42 | jfindlay | you mean me caring about random free stuff getting shut down by corporate data harvesters? |
| 21:23.08 | shalkie | Oh I figured it was just a matter of the corporate overlords deciding that giving you storage for free was no longer making enough $$ so they were killing the free service. |
| 21:23.23 | shalkie | Reinforced by the fact that they don't seem to offer a free tier anymore. |
| 21:23.54 | shalkie | The notion that they would be gathering data from the backup is, well very disturbing. |
| 21:25.10 | jfindlay | you must not be living in a continuous state of disturbance from the corporate economic class |
| 21:27.48 | shalkie | Unless the data harvesting is somehow going to lead to me joining Elon Musk on Mars when the ecosystem collapses, what is the value in the grand scheme of things? |

| 21:56.37 | JPaul | why are so many people surprised that tape is still a thing in the computing world? |
| 21:56.56 | JPaul | "You still use tape???" |
| 22:03.15 | jlp_znc | tape is great! |
| 22:03.42 | jlp_znc | never underestimate the bandwidth of a minivan full of LTO7 tapes barreling down the highway at 70MPH |
| 22:22.21 | keldwud | JPaul I agree |
| 22:22.27 | keldwud | we've had people pass on us because we mentioned tape |
| 22:22.35 | keldwud | LTO-7 is so freaking fast |
| 22:22.44 | keldwud | and so much cheap storage! |
| 22:23.05 | keldwud | show them the price differences between glacier + data transfer and tape |
| 22:23.40 | keldwud | I think people say "you still use tape?" to make themselves sound smarter |
| 22:25.14 | TodPunk | eightyeight: if I did a dockerfile for d-note, or got someone here to do it, would you want that as a pull request? |
| 22:25.28 | eightyeight | sure |
| 22:26.24 | TodPunk | I shall have some conversations and see what I can finagle |
| 22:28.24 | JPaul | we're still using LTO-3, but we don't need a lot of storage, though LTO-5 at least would be nice. |
| 22:29.50 | shalkie | jlp_znc: Doesn't AWS call that Snowball? |
| 22:31.06 | shalkie | Probably reuse one of the Amazon Prime delivery vans after the drop off of all the goodies the techs on site purchased with their Amazon Prime account on their Amazon Prime Visa. |
| 22:32.10 | JPaul | keldwud, I think people that say "you still use tape?" are showing their ignorance to anything backup related. |
| 22:33.46 | JPaul | I was looking at the newer tape libraries from Quantum, and holy crap are they shiny. |
| 22:35.20 | JPaul | up to 24PB in a single 19" rack, and double that once LTO-9 comes out. |
| 22:56.10 | jlp_znc | shalkie: heh heh |
| 22:58.51 | TodPunk | I have a button somewhere from tapesucks.com that brings me joy. I got it at a conference, I believe in 2000 |
