listening to Brother Stair and it has just been straight up people yelling the occasional hallelulia but mostly literally mooing and howling for half an hour continuously so far. Bonkers.

g7eix,

@llamasoft_ox What frequency? Is it a rebroadcast local to you or the one over here on 7mhz'ish?

g7eix,

@llamasoft_ox I'll fire up the Flex and have a listen. I enjoy a good comedy.

Recorded today on a IC-9700 located in Leeds by G7DCT. Turned the audio into a short 'educational' video for those who never get the chance to see/hear the Aurora. Brings back so many memories of when I was first licensed in the UK. Can't wait to move back to Yorkshire and get another station built out ready for the peak of this cycle!

    I foresee a piece of rope and a wobbly chair.

    This is an RS232 based system! I know this!

    g7eix,

    @M0CUV I've got lots of unopened Maplins parts and components like DB9 and DB25, din plugs and the like - sat in my loft from when I moved to the US in 2006!

    Urgent, boosts appreciated: My web host, Heart Internet, is imploding (I found this out AFTER I'd paid them for a year's worth of dedicated server up front) and I need recommendations for a company doing dedicated servers. Please, PLEASE only tell me about companies that you personally have used and have positive firsthand experience with, please don't just google this for me.

    EDIT: I'm going with Hetzner, thanks to your recommendations and the recommendations of folk I know IRL and was able to chat with face-to-face, thanks everyone for boosting this so widely and giving me so many excellent recs, there's no need to boost this post any more, you are all wonderful

    EDIT 2: folk asking how I know Heart's winding up, check out the TrustPilot reviews from mid-August on, you gotta read between the lines a bit but the takeaway is a) they're doing the "whoops we're experiencing unusually high volume of support requests" thing, b) at least one support team member is going "Screw it, here's how to transfer your domains to someone else." I assume that's why y'all are still boosting this lol

    EDIT 3: maybe y'all are still boosting this because the "I'm asking for firsthand experience pls don't just google it for me" bit is Resonating with you, I want to let you know that it annoys me as much as it annoys you. A fun game to play when someone does that is to ask them how they know, and when they say google, pretend not to know what that is and ask them to explain it

    g7eix,

    @ifixcoinops Fellow ex-pat here. I exclusively use FullControl and Hyperfive for all personal and project hosting. Used then for over 10 years with excellent support and no issues that have ever caused me pain.

    Current cold stage: yesterday's cough has turned into a different kind of cough.

    Honestly I go out for a nice weekend for the first time in ages and end up feeling like a variety of types of smeg for ages afterwards.

    Makes me wonder if I ought to just go back to being as much of a hermit as possible :/

    g7eix,

    @llamasoft_ox Just like school teachers after summer break. They go in the classroom with all those dirty, smelly, bug carrying little cherub's and the next day they are suffering from stuffed and runny nose, coughing, sweating and shivering and wanting it all to end!

    Get well.

    why on earth are there even gendered chess events? It's not like you move the pieces with your genitals, WTF?

    g7eix,

    @llamasoft_ox so now chromosomes determine mental agility? Florida?

    g7eix,

    @llamasoft_ox that's absolutely insane. The world is getting more and more and more fucked up everyday.
