I have taken several attempts at writing a clear and concise guide to programming common radios with CHIRP. This is one of them. I am specifically writing to Baofeng UV-5R and friends, TIDRADIO TD-H8, and Yaesu FT-60 radios, and I am using Linux. These instructions will be somewhere close for most users, and I will include information for users of other platforms.

I thoroughly enjoyed the original game Subnautica, and have previously skipped the semi-sequel Subnautica: Below Zero (commonly and hence "BZ" when I feel like it) because of predominantly bad reviews from people who were disappointed that it wasn't more like the original. I'm happy to report that while their complaints are not unfounded, they don't make it not worth playing - and also that you can have a satisfying experience on Linux.

I have Docker installed, I want to try running a Rust server, I'm installing it in Docker to keep it contained for cleanliness' sake.

I was just wondering to myself how many computers I could think of that I've owned, and maybe if I can remember enough of them I can do something interesting with the info. The idea is to get them into chronological order. This is expected to be a work in progress, I/we will see how much work and how much progress can be achieved. I'm also jotting notes about what I remember about their disposition.

I recently decided that I was feeling too limited by the very high-quality but super-simple ArcGIS Online. I understand they're not in the business of giving me the best for free, but I'm also not going to pay for ArcGIS, and I need features that I'm not getting in their online version - like being able to force map label visibility. I'm not even sure I'm going to get that with mapserver, but I have been meaning to get back into it for a while anyway.
