      sorta solved pi issue

      By wa4chq · Posted

      Morning all..... For the past week or two, I've been trying to set up my RPi4 to use something other than Raspian in the ham shack.  For starters, I'm only using it so I can access a website that shows my location and "spotters" on a map.  Basically, it's showing you if a particular "band" is open.  (Back in the day, if nobody returned your call, you could figure that that particular band wasn't favorable.  In my old age, I need to complicate things.)  Using a browser like lynx or links would be perfect if it brought up reverse beacon that was usable, but it doesn't.  I tried several distros for Pi and finally went with Manjaro.  Instead of Firefox, I'm using midori.  During all of this, I ran across Dietpi.....which would have been perfect but I could not get a desktop....same with Alpine.  Has anyone here tried Dietpi?   Wet here in Southeast Virg......ciao

      Network Upgrades

      By raymac46 · Posted

      In February my ISP/Legacy TV/Home Phone provider (Mr. Rogers) advised me that an ancient SDTV video recorder/cable box I had in the basement would be decommissioned as of April 30. This  box was hooked up to the old SDTV I had that originally belonged to my son-in-law. I hardly ever watched it because of the wretched picture. I took the opportunity to upgrade a few things. I got a new smart HDTV and moved the old dumb HDTV and its hardware down to the basement. Decommissioned and recycled the old SDTV. Rogers wants you to switch from legacy cable to an Internet based TV so I finally did so. I replaced my old Rogers modem and my personal Wifi 5 mesh router system with a new Rogers Wifi 6E gateway upstairs and a single mesh pod in the basement. My formerly standalone telephone modem is now handled by the gateway. The TVs are now served by wifi IPTV boxes - all the digital boxes were removed. I had to reconfigure my wireless printer to a new LAN IP but that was the only change. I still have the same SSID and password from before. I ended up saving about $80 per month with my new network. TV and Internet seem to be working fine and I get better speeds on my newest wifi clients like phones and Wifi 6 equipped laptops. I replaced 2 modems and a 4 piece mesh router system with two wifi boxes. Also decommissioned a complicated coax splitter system as I only need one cable coming in from outside for everything. I still have my main desktop system plugged in with a wire to the gateway but everything else is wifi. So far, so good.

      That would be Gen X which is 1965-1980, I fall under that being 1978. Source: https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/609811/age-ranges-millennials-and-generation-z
