Interested in self-hosting, decentralization, and learning more about the fediverse.
I also do photography, but with digital cameras from the 90’s.

Many many years ago in the paleolithic era when 2.4GHz was king, a neighbor in the next unit over had an unsecured wifi network… I connected my old laptop, figured out where the connection was best (turned out to be beside the stove in the kitchen?), piped the connection out the ethernet port and into the WAN port on my router, and set up my own “secured” network lol. I’m fairly certain anyone with a straight-up unsecured wifi network doesn’t have the skills or knowledge to detect someone leaching their bandwidth. I did that for like 3 years without a single hiccup until I moved and finally had to start paying.
It’s funny, I was JUST hankering to take my SW out to browse the airwaves, and then I log on to see this post.
I have a Halicrafters S-119, still runs on tubes. Picks up 2-16MHz.
I already spent some time rummaging around for my antenna, but I can’t find it and don’t have a spool of wire handy, so I’ll need to work on that. Last time I had it set up was a couple years and 2 moves ago.
But that’s none of those genres…
I would like their stuff so much more if the nu-metal parts went away.
I am unsure what makes something “Swing”, but I absolutely adore The Roar of '74 by Buddy Rich. I discovered it via my dumb rule of “See vinyl record with car on it, buy vinyl record with car on it”
