As an example: My vehicles electric battery is warrantied for 10 years or 150,000 mi. Even with that being said, I have seen models of my car used well into the 300-400,000 mi range.
And while I'm not an expert on the matter, it is my understanding that there are recycling plants for electric vehicle batteries. Which I would imagine would reduce the environmental cost of electric vehicles.
Not to mention the research being done on different battery chemistries that are less environmentally hazardous, last longer, are more energy dense, and so on.

As someone with ADD, I get stuck in scroll loops a lot. If the scrolling had an end, it's easier to kick my brain out and get it to go do other things.
But if there's infinite scroll, my brain will happily sit for hours and just scroll through random crap.
Which is more of a problem with my brain, but having interrupted scrolling makes it easier to break the loop.

That would explain why I don't see them often. I haven't been very active in gaming as of late, let alone modding. And I generally don't pirate games. I'm cool with people that do, I just don't personally. (Virus fears, being out of the loop long enough that I don't know any good sites, etc)

Again, I'm not the original poster. But zip isn't as dense as 7zip, and I honestly haven't seen rar are used much.
Also, if I remember correctly, the audio codecs and compression types. The other poster listed are open source. But I could be mistaken. I know at least 7zip is and I believe opus or something like that is too

Not the original poster, but there are newer audio codecs that are more efficient at storing data than mp3, I believe. And there's also lossless standards, compared to mp3's lossy compression.

Doesn't it compress the contents that it's storing to help kind of get the best of both worlds?
You get faster storage because it's in ram still, but with it being compressed there's also "more" available?
I could be completely mistaken though

Even with a HT, you'll probably have a blast on a summit. Line of sight for miles and miles could mean lots of contacts!
I'm wondering if anybody knows what the antenna (and seemingly accompanying hardware) on this telephone pole is. ![](https://lemmy.ko4abp.com/pictrs/image/bfc9c667-baa1-4606-8cd1-76d1dbf40e63.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.ko4abp.com/pictrs/image/4189c632-0f0d-4f22-9bb7-4e93a82a1ecd.jpeg) ![](https://lemmy.ko4abp.com/pictrs/image/9efcd813-c545-4d27-badb-d25cec910164.jpeg) Thank you in advance!

Hello! Nice to meet you!
I recently bought arborist throw line for POTA use. It helps to get the antenna into the trees.
Might be worth a look, if you're interested in that. I bought from Weaver leather.

In my defense, it hasn't been used in a long time.
But the best way to learn is by doing. And I had interest in ethical hacking/penetration testing

I want to grab one of the new models and make a portable station out of it for doing digital work. Mostly for stuff like POTA.

Fair enough!
Still an interesting idea for possible future endeavors.

For a little while, I had a tiny web page running on a raspberry pi at my house.
I also used that raspberry pi for the SSH tunnel.
Raspberry Pi 1 B+

Very cool!
I have an RTL-SDR that lets me do that too. I also have aircrack-ng on one of my Linux installs, for research purposes.

For cooling do you use air, water, or both?
I want to run a home media server. Something like Jellyfin probably. Maybe a Minecraft server too.
I also interested in rolling my own VPN. So far I've just use an SSH tunnel for traffic tunneling.

If the X6100 runs Linux, it's possible you could install Pat onto it!

That's very cool!
It's cool to run servers at home.

If you have a Linux distro installed, you could install Pat. It's an email client. It works with some of WinLinks stuff, if I remember correctly.
I live in upstate New York, I have a general class license, and this is my first time using Lemmy (or any federated social for that matter). My mobile rig is a VR-N7500 "50W" VHF/UHF. It uses Bluetooth control from my phone, and it does APRS. My QTH rig is a Xiegu G90 on a 40m EFHW powered by micro solar. I mainly do FT8, as well as a little VARA HF WinLink. (I'm a bit mic shy and my antenna setup isn't that great.) I'm interested in POTA (and maybe SOTA). Hope to meet some friendly folk!
