Looks like facebook is down. Reports of folks getting logged out and cant reset passwords or log back in. Perhaps the beginning of the end for #bigtech look at that big spike of outages reported for FB. #facebook #fbsucks #facebooksucks #techbros #fb

Here is a quick overview of what I did to create an iGate for APRS, using a Raspberry pi and Direwolf. I know others have done this. this is just what I did (along with having Direwolf automatically start on boot of the pi.

Cute little tubes breaking on the inside bar. Still a little bit of wind mostly coming out of South Southwest. Very comfortable temperature and very humid. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #sunrise #outerbanks #theouterbanks

Been a bit wet since about 11pm last night. over 3.25 inches of rain in this event. The dog certainly doesn't like this one bit. #obx #outerbanks #theouterbanks #hatterasisland #capehatteras #weather

It seems as though the deer were having a beach party last night. Based on what I found nearby I wonder if they're plotting something and us humans need to watch out #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #wildlife #beach

Gonna have some wind the next couple of days. Too hard to listen to my books on tape when the wind is blowing on my headphones, so sheltering hikes in the woods it is. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #hiking #rucking #ruck #buxton

Great morning for a stroll. I wanted to see a little different scenery today so I went up to Avon. Very warm temperatures with a south wind. Small swell but looks like it could be fun with a longboard. It seems as though winter is over and I have a feeling we're going to have a very warm summer. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #sunrise #outerbanks #theouterbanks #hatteras #rucking #ruck

Has anyone used aspirin when growing tomatoes? If so, how did you apply it and what were the results? Thanks in advance! #gardening #tomatoes #homesteading #produce

A beautiful morning for a ruck and watch the sunrise. Light wind out of the South. Comfortable temperature. I can't wait for earlier mornings when the sun's up so I can have more time to either surf or go prone paddling. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #sunrise #outerbanks #theouterbanks #hatteras

After a nice 3 mile hike with Kate Powell Wharton , it is time to rehydrate. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #hiking #rucking #ruck #lighthousesportsbar

after the media scaring us with solar flares, "cyber" attacks, etc. It comes down to what I figured all along (incompetence). We also depend too much on the internet. Simple DNS problems, natural disasters, or even governments can bring down all communications.

Angry ocean with two currents converging at the point. Overcast day with wind out of the Southwest. Air temperature is perfect for a hike on the beach #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #sunrise #outerbanks #theouterbanks #hatteras #capehatterasnps

While a good chunk of America can't communicate through their handheld devices, I am sending messages from mine that are reaching others from all over the world using ham radio and APRS for #aprsthursday. Sent out two different messages from 2 different radio setups. First was from a pc connected via bluetooth to a Mobilinkd TNC3 and Baofeng cheapo radio (radio on the right with bluetooth dongle). The other was straight from a Yaesu FT2D radio (no PC involved -- radio on the left). #hamradio #amateurradio #ham #yaesuusa #yaesu #baofengradio #baofeng #aprs #prepping

There are some decent waves in Frisco. I wish I had time to try to paddle out. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #sunrise #outerbanks #theouterbanks #hatteras #obxnc #surfobx #obxsurf #surfing

Another windy day out of the north, so the woods it is again. Very pleasant back there. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #hiking #rucking #ruck

Hello my pretties. Gearing up for growing season 2024 #gardening #hotpepper #hotpeppers #carolinareapers #ghostpepper #homestead

Did a morning ruck in the Coastal Reserve this morning. I had my watch tracking my path as well as my ham radio using APRS. You can see in the first Pic that I wasn't getting the coverage I was hoping for on APRS. Only 4 beacons made it to the repeater. There are some sand dunes that may have been blocking the transmission. Next time, a bigger antenna. Air temp was quite nice in the woods. I was in a long t-shirt and long hiking pants and very comfortable. No wind to be felt #rucking #ruck #goruck #hiking #OBX, #outerbanks #theouterbanks #hatterasisland

it's the lake Atlantic out there this morning. Air temp in the mid-40s with a light North Wind. No waves at all #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #sunrise #surfobx #obxsurf #ncsurf #surfnc #surfing

Playing around with Primal nostr client. So far, I like what I see. Great for photography with posting multiple photos. #primal #grownostr #nostrclient

I wanted to get a bit more exercise this morning, so rucked the coastal preserve. It takes a bit of effort wearing a ruck with weight along with a 60lb sandbag on my shoulders on a windy Forrest trail. #OBX #hatterasisland #capehatteras #obxlife #hiking #rucking #ruck #nps #nationalpark #CapeHatterasNationalSeashore
