After many delays, we finally got a long end-fed half-wave antenna wire up into the Very Tall Tree on the edge of our lot. We used a drone to lift fishing line up and over, and a weight to keep it below the prop blades. Then pulled a paracord line, then the antenna wire up. Secured with bungee and counterweights to allow for wind - fingers crossed 🤞on that. (Zoom in on the second photo to see the wire)

Every time I get asked to help someone “fix their slow computer” I’m amazed at the variety of shit people install and forget about.

Matt Levine’s “Money Stuff” newsletter is so good. I’m supremely unqualified to evaluate the content from a professional perspective, but it’s an enjoyable read, and maybe I’m learning something (?)
I like & get value from Goodreads, and have many connections there that I value. I'm also a fan of the #SocialWeb / #fediverse and believe in open protocols and data portability. I've optimistically setup a #BookWyrm account here: https://sfba.club/user/dcreemer . Reading is visible to followers only for now.
Is there any general advice on cross-posting from (e.g.) #PixelFed or #BookWyrm to #mastodon ? I know that if folks are interested specifically in my photos they could follow my pixelfed account, but I do see a lot of pictures posted here (and I like to see pictures here). #fediverse#question
