#Bitcoin doesn't care about clarity. Day traders do.
Inflation is coming, whether there is clarity or not. No clarity means inflation is probably coming faster and harder. Nothing stops this train.

You could maybe probe out whether its the hardware or the heat by swapping two of the access points and see if the issue recurs and which access point does it.

2026-08-30 15:10:32 UTC

- reply

Ok, that doesn't prevent an NTP issue. You've described the physical layer: 3 hard wired WiFi Access Points.
That doesn't mean there can't be a problem with the physical layer (I've seen sources of interference cause problems on cable before, could be solar panels or a noisy misbehaving electronic device).
Could also still be NTP, just because they have a physical connection does not mean UDP NTP traffic works reliably. This specifically could cause a problem with authentication failing, and seemingly at random. Be sure they have a good time source in their configuration.
Could also be that the client doesn't have a good time source.
Could also be heat, is the AP in question getting hot? Is it near a heat source? What about its power supply?
Could also be hardware failure of the AP itself.

Canada is kinda like the friendly neighbor who doesn't own a gun. They rely on you for protection, and its probably too late by the time you respond, but they are really nice and never caused any problems for you (except when you disagree about hockey teams).
Why anyone would want to pick a fight with them, I have no clue...

The whole reason for the civil war was economic. The north kept pushing economic policies that benefitted the North's industrializing economy at the cost of the south's agrarian economy.
Lincoln freed the Slaves in the SOUTH ONLY to Demoralize the south. He did not free slaves in northern states. Sure, the abolitionists liked it because it was paper that freed slaves... But its purpose was not about ending slavery.
Freeing slaves only became a tool for Lincoln to use in order to cause the South to lose their work force and create chaos. But to be honest, he didn't control the south when he issued it because they had their own government and leadership by then... So slaves started escaping to the north. This was an economic attack, not a gesture of good will or a moral choice. This was total war... People don't talk about it, but people should read up on Sherman's March to the Sea...
This guy doesn't even know why we stormed the beach at Normandy...

In some parts of the world, it became cultural. Probably because the street was a place everyone dumped the chamber pots, and the places where horse and ox would shit. So you would literally be tracking shit and piss into the house. Thus it was a sign of respect to remove thine filthy shoes. In modern society, its probably just dirt, drugs, and jizz except in some parts of California, where its piss, shit, needles, dirt, drugs, and jizz.

F2 to enter setup, set the system time. Its possible boot is failing because the time in bios is set to a time in the past.
But yeah, otherwise, try popping in a Linux liveusb, boot from it, and copy the files off to some other media. Lots of guides online for this stuff. No CLI skills required, but you do need to learn how to create a liveUSB (some nice GUI tools for that), set boot in bios to boot from USB drive (F2 to enter bio settings).

I have one of those too, got it second-hand. I've had issues getting it to work with the digirig. However, it did great for SSB for winter field day for me.
I modified a digirig for C-IV, and I got close, but when I plug in the 19(I think)-din connector it goes into transmit and won't stop until I unplug it. Its supposed to be the audio cable.
Without the audio cable, I can at least use CAT control now, but can't do any digital modes yet.

I'm guessing that's part of how it works. Perhaps we can't consider DMs private? Perhaps the contents are though, did you try to read a DM?
The rest, yeah, those are public events, so yes, if they have your public npub, they can view all the events as if they were you, but they can't sign anything, and shouldn't be able to read anything that's encrypted.
Its perhaps not great... But what's public is public is public, including metadate. This is a good way to know exactly what that is so you can make informed choices.

Winter Field Day is this weekend. Ham radio operators around the United States and even internationally will be going out into winter conditions, many on alternative power and practice their capabilities in harsh environments. Myself and @nprofile…p73y will be out camping, the weather looks to be OK for this weekend for us, but it will be cold weather camping all the same. We are preparing for HF, UHF, and VHF voice contacts and digital modes, including js8call, sending(and receiving) a winlink email over RF, etc. We may even try a satellite contact this time.
We are bringing solar power and batteries, with a backup of a gasoline generator because it will be cloudy.

Maybe start with a small cheap one and see if you like it. Probably can find a used tina2 on eBay or something. Start with printing PLA perhaps, its easier to print with. Note your prints won't be good for the sun or in a hot car, but they are fine for most things around the house. Eventually you will find what you like and don't like and move up from there.
Graduate to a larger enclosed and/or heated bed printer when you find you want to start printing TPU, PETG, or ABS.
