Week 29 of the #HamChallenge: Make your own xOTA activation

I interpreted this as "get a type of place on the air which doesn't already have an established xOTA program."

This is PLOTA: Parking Lots on the Air. I semi-regularly try to activate the top of a parking deck at work over lunch. Looking forward to fall

You’re heading out the door for the day.
Which one are you grabbing?

Sitting in public transit yesterday, I dug out my #FoldableKeyboard to my lap, paired it with my #Fairphone, opened a terminal command line app #Termux, connected to my #RaspberryPi #SelfHosting #HomeServer and updated its software remotely on the go. All #SecondHand #Reused #Refurbished #Computers & #Electronics.

No real need for the #Portable keyboard nor remote access here, just felt like trying it out for fun, and for a brief moment, it felt like I was leading a #Solarpunk lifestyle.

There are allot of people here who understand the world in my particular way, so I thought I'd throw this out and see if anyone has done this sort of thing before and can save me from wheel reinvention. I have a #Windows machine running #Windows10 which I want to connect to the internet as follows. It has to be #portable. It has to have access only to a very specific and limited number of IP addresses and DNS names which I will identify in advance and which I will edit by hand. It has to block access to everything else including Microsoft's machines, Google's machines, Basically, if it's not on my list, the machine will not connect to it. Whether the machine wants to connect to an IP address, a DNS name, or a device on the local network, I want connections to be promptly blocked. By promptly, I mean that I want the machine not to time out trying to connect to the stuff not on my list, I want the machine to be told no as soon as it tries. I want this because the machine shouldn't be waiting to timeout, it should just be doing what I told it without wasting cycles and time trying to talk to devices I don't want it talking to. The obvious solution is some sort of #whitelisting #firewall or #security system, but I have three problems there. First, I'm #blind and need #a11y with #Jaws and #NVDA. Secondly, as I said, it has to be portable, so I can't carry around a second box with a firewall. Thirdly, the machine has both ireless and ethernet access. I want both ports to have access only to the IPs/names I specify. Whether the machine is connected over ethernet or 802.11, I want those rules to be in effect. I have considered MS' firewall, but am nervous that it will let the machine talk to MS, which I don't want it to. Is any of this even possible? Boosts would be appreciated.

Revisiting my trip across Canada got me pining for my old Psion 5mx. Remember PDAs, back in the days before smartphones? Well, as a writer, this one stood above the rest. But can I find a modern equivalent?

This is a screen capture of KDE Connect on one of my Androids.

As you can clearly see my LAN has quite an amount of devices. All of these devices are being used by me.
They have specific purposes which makes my Android experience along with my Computing experience versatile and efficient.

I did not know how important KDE connect was for me. When I learned about it, I knew that it doesn't just enrich what I can do

KDE Connect is not a gimmick where I can control a Media Player, without any network connectivity by itself, from any of my KDE Connect devices. Many different functions can be handled smoothly without any problems, with the highest Speed that my wLAN can deliver from the point of my view of the LAN routers I have in my network.

Right now I'm using a wLAN router that is portable. This enables me to have the most efficient data transfer Speed between the devices I have on me without any snooping from any Big Company.

I should freshen up on my golang language skills
