If you're looking for an alternative to Ubuntu but want to stick with a Debian-based distribution, I'll continue to recommend Debian testing. It's a rolling release, so you don't have to stop what you're doing every

This is the real reason for Elon Musk's latest round of idiotic tweets, in case anyone was still confused. Tesla is an expensive company to run, their finances are often at least a little bit precarious, and he has on the order of tens

Somewhat infuriatingly, Thinkpads with two batteries (e.g. T480) will discharge whichever battery appears "healthier" first, rather than taking the sensible route of discharging the external battery first so that your internal bat

UHF is line-of-sight. The article speculates about a transient effect ("marine ducting") that allowed the signal to propagate further this time. It's not likely to be reliably repeatable. FT8 is ~10 bits/second (think of

FT8 is part of a suite of digital transmission modes that are designed for weak signal / long distance communication. Often times these modes can be decoded even when the signal is below the noise floor. More details here: https:&#x2F

We should build the services anyway. We can design radios that use spread-spectrum / low-probability-of-intercept / below-the-noise-floor techniques that can make the services both harder to identify, and (more importantly) far, f
