#Cat story:

Some months back, using a rescued e-waste laptop as a ham radio computer.

Running Debian #Linux, it sat on my office desk, with a tiny QDX digital radio on USB, squeaking out tiny 4 Watt QRP #JS8 signals into antenna coax.

JS8 is low speed chat mode, with relaying and stored messages, right? I would let it run all day, then check it once or twice a day, message scattered ops.

Well... One day I get WTF email saying,

"Dood, U Ok? You been sending nonsense last hour!"

Oh no!
