Last week's @RATPAC panel had several memorable quotes that I really hope we follow up on.

The one about professional emergency services people avoiding people and actively discouraging incorporation of hams into plans was hard to hear.

There was a strong consensus that the way forward was "more training" and "appear professional". A quote was "don't show up (to volunteer) dressed like you live under a bridge".

@alper @abraxas3d @RATPAC this is a good essay. I especially liked this:

“From search and rescue perspective, any operative would jump to faster, dulplex-er, instant high bandwidth solution in a heartbeat. Emcomm/prepper type would not since the main purpose is not to solve the problem but solving the problem with specific tool that is emotionally being invested in.”

@timonus Thanks. I tried scrypted with my non HKSV devices and didn’t like the results… Hope to hear more

@timonus same. I think the ecosystem has lots of room for improvement :-)

@timonus yeah I used an RPi 4 for scrypted. I probably needed something more powerful.

@JsonCulverhouse @timonus random nighttime animal videos are pretty much the main reason I have cameras

@mia @mia I loved this essay Mia — thanks for sharing it! Now I need to figure out how to adapt my “discomfort bubble” to include a bit of happiness :-)

@JsonCulverhouse no but my rabbit isn’t nicknamed “Mrs Chonkins” for nothing :-)

If a blind student wants to do a CS undergrad specifically to work in assistive technology, what schools would be particularly good for that? (Feel free to boost for reach.)

dcreemer,
@dcreemer@sfba.social avatar

@mdekstrand @gvwilson Georgia Tech has a good reputation for assistive tech (or at least did many years ago)

@fortes I have not found this to be possible. I will keep trying though.

There's a village in England named Breedon on the Hill. "Breedon" is a combination of two words—the Celtic “Bre" (which means "hill”) and the Old English "dun" (which means "hill"). So the name of the village is “Hill Hill on the Hill.”

But, wait, there's another! Pendle Hill, also in England, comes from the Cumbric "pen” (which means "hill") and the Old English “hyll” (which means “hill”). So: "Hill Hill Hill.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breedon_on_the_Hill#History

If you missed last week’s total solar eclipse, you’ll have seven opportunities over the next decade to bask in the shadow of the path of totality. You just might have to travel to get there. Live Science tells us what to know, from where to go, how long each will last, and more. https://flip.it/eKUvzt

@ScienceDesk @dgoldsmith after experiencing last weeks eclipse I want to become a full time eclipse chaser. Spectacular

With Meta moving Threads — slowly but surely — into the Fediverse, @quillmatiq wanted to see if the Threads experience could be improved on Mastodon. He says what he discovered "went above and beyond" his expectations.

@FinchHaven @AAKL @TechDesk @quillmatiq

How so? As far as I can tell it’s a human at Flipboard posting an article to a nicely federated Mastodon account. Isn’t this why we’re here (to see interesting human sourced ideas)?

Some changes ahead:

I'm leaving academia to "help people who are working to save democracy, and by extension freedom of expression, in part by helping journalism perform its most essential role."
