Listening to hams coordinate welfare checks in Western NC over the Mount Mitchell repeater. Neat stuff

How has it been functioning during the storm? Useful for disaster comms?

If you've never seen the movie "Network" (1976), it's worth a watch. Here's a scene and quote from it (note: the video is a bit of a spoiler since you can see which characters are speaking with each other):
https://www.americanrhetoric.com/MovieSpeeches/moviespeechnetwork4.html
You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels.
It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE!
Am I getting through to you, Mr. Beale?
You get up on your little twenty-one inch screen and howl about America and democracy. There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today.
What do you think the Russians talk about in their councils of state -- Karl Marx? They get out their linear programming charts, statistical decision theories, minimax solutions, and compute the price-cost probabilities of their transactions and investments, just like we do.
We no longer live in a world of nations and ideologies, Mr. Beale. The world is a college of corporations, inexorably determined by the immutable bylaws of business. The world is a business, Mr. Beale. It has been since man crawled out of the slime. And our children will live, Mr. Beale, to see that perfect world in which there's no war or famine, oppression or brutality -- one vast and ecumenical holding company, for whom all men will work to serve a common profit, in which all men will hold a share of stock, all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.
Cool, thanks for the rec
I absolutely LOATHE databrokers
This is a good information security primer from EFF for those interested:
Security is a process, not an end goal. We're drawn towards absolutes as humans, but this can distract from easy wins like doing best practices, threat modeling, and good operational security.
The beautiful part of a decentralized network like Nostr and Bitcoin is that it spreads the risk across a wider group so your chance of being individually targeted is diminished. Like a school of fish.

If you are:
⚡️ a ham radio operator
⚡️ interested in getting into ham radio

Reply in the chat if you know anyone that I should follow.
Also, please try to use relevant hashtags like #hamradio #radio or #meshtastic etc or tag with my user name nostr:npub1ya20ep3dd0qt0suhzprxztv5y43arqwps73ercvqa44sp7qw0edsp4x9ty . I like to repost and zap radio related content on nostr and the tags help me find it.
Dreaming of merging Nostr and #Reticulum development
God bless the autists!
Let Nostr and freedom tech become the home for researching UAP and "fringe" scientific subjects.
Engineer your perception, engineer your reality.
