   Zoomer slang makes sense when you realize every single big tech site has their own brickface watching over what you post

     @Pawlicker Is that the Asian tranny who contributes to the Perl project?

     I think we can get 128k over HAM radio.

     There’s like hardly ever any hobbyist advancement of high-bandwidth data communication in the field of amateur radio equipment. A lot of it’s Disgustingly Proprietary(TM) protocols/software arbitrarily made up by each manufacturer usually going in their own opposite direction, and I think the most I’ve heard of (outside of people modding consumer equipment to operate in ham bands, such as with WRT54GLs long ago) is probably no more than 9600 baud for 2m/440 bands.

     D-STAR is marketed as up to 128kbps, but that seems exclusive to just 1.2GHz (‘DD mode’?) band and likely point-to-point with yagis, while 3480 baud is the marketed D-STAR max data bitrate for a Kenwood TH-D74A (~$600, and no longer for sale?).

     For perspective of transfer speed, I have an attached JPG of the mentioned radio (29,188 bytes, or 233,504 bits), as well as a smaller AVIF encode at 50% quality (13,560 bytes, or 108,480 bits).

     At 3480 baud (bits/sec), that’s half a minute to send the AVIF image (108480/3480=31.17 seconds), or over a minute (233504/3480=67 seconds) for the original JPG.

     Digital in amateur radio is pretty much just “buy this Kenwood product, buy this Icom product, buy this Motorola product”. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of folks actually building their own hardware in the past decade to do any high-bandwidth data, it’s all just lazy consumerism.

     The sole utility it’s ever going to have is strictly text communication, but at least 3480 baud is a great luxury over acoustic coupling with fldigi (where we’re talking rates like 20 baud for MT63).

     @pyrate @Pawlicker @Sprate They ruined all our hobbies, communities, language, and job prospects.
     Everything that made us us got touched in the head by the tranny-furry-pronoun-hall-monitor bloc.
     Damn them to fucking hell. I didn't get into computers thinking I was going to be getting into waging holy civil war.
     The only worthwhile correction I see from here is 90s Balkans-tier civil unrest.

     Lol, IPFS/IPLD network kinda reminds me of BBS in a way. A more refined content host, if you will.
     
     I'm also IRC.
     We must retvrn.

     Machismo repeated this.

     @pyrate @Sprate still, that laptop is nice. It's a Thinkpad X1 Yoga 4th gen, loaded with the WQHD screen (invoiced to google, acting as Daddy's Credit Card). Nowadays these things have deprecated like a rock given it's a older laptop (given it's from 2019 and this pic was from 2020-1ish).
     
     It seems like a great laptop to be an internet artist (autist) on, in between doing basic programming, complete with an integrated stylus and it's a shame it's owned by the person you see here.

     @Pawlicker @Sprate so. Did you like detrans or something? Were you sucked into the cult? The one big family? The big tent? Got spat out?
