Camping and ham radio are an excellent combo. Being completely isolated while still being able to communicate with people at a distance. Something very cool about that.

That's what we did in high school back in the 90's. Nothing live having five "black lotuses" in your deck.
At the time, Tuesday was the best day.

Now it makes no sense other than being an obstacle, and therefore one more thing in the way of people actually running the government.

They farmed it all out to think tanks and said "Give me something I can vote on."

Ditto. Toyed with RH and Mandrake back in the day, but quickly moved to Debian and have been there since. Played with Ubuntu and a couple smaller niche distros, but always came back to good ol' Deborah.

I was a big Usenet nerd, then switched to Reddit in the late aughts. Went back today and it was a ghostland, at least the stuff I used to frequent. Guess I need to look better, ha.
Same. Off to whatever Federated site on someone's old garage 486 is next.
