So, after my Zodiac failed me — and I discovered that it has more than one name — I bought an Icom IC-M94D. Icom is supposed to be one of the top brands, and Icom IC-M94D is the first hand held VHF with built in AIS receiver. Sadly, IC-M94D had two major annoyances which made […]| From thoughts to text
You need a short range certificate and a license to operate a VHF-radio. Here are my notes from studying to the exam.| From thoughts to text
Below is a list of VHF radios, and they have more in common than just the functionality. With exception of the last one, they are identical in every way except the logo and the startup screen.| From thoughts to text
Below is a list of VHF radios, and they have more in common than just the functionality. With exception of the last one, they are identical in every way except the logo and the startup screen. The last one, the Icom, I would guess is the original one, and the rest are copies that have […]| From thoughts to text
I have been having this thought for a long time now. It struck me a few months back that the American President seems to think about one thing, and one thing only: Money. This may not come as a surprise to anyone; but hear me out.| From thoughts to text
The American President seems to think about one thing, and one thing only: money. But economic growth depends on more than money alone.| From thoughts to text
Donald Trump is a sociopath and a bully, and the republican party is pathetic not standing up for their country and their values.| From thoughts to text
Donald Trump has been president of the United States in just a month, and the damage he has done so far is staggering. What happens “at home” in the States is one thing, but when he tries to change history and make Vladimir Putin a victim of war, a war Mr. Putin started … For … Continue reading →| From thoughts to text
Summary: BIG-IP from F5 does not seem to honor the “Expect: 100-Continue” header by default, and changes must be made on the F5 appliance. Recently, an network application, which have worked since 2017, stopped working. The application is straigh forward enough. It checks if a service is working by doing (mainly) two things: After a … Continue reading →| From thoughts to text
Another year is over, and it is time to look back and review my reading habit. Last year my goal was to read 40 books. Not because I was anywhere near to reach that number in 2022, but because I happen to turn forty (years) in 2023, and I thought it would be an interesting … Continue reading My Year in Books→ The post My Year in Books appeared first on From thoughts to text.| From thoughts to text
I’m impressed. Really, I am. After getting tired of Windows 11, which didn’t take long to be honest, I finally got the push I needed to install Linux as my daily operating system. I first installed Ubuntu, since I have years of experience with it on the server side. Well, that did not last. Ubuntu … Continue reading Running Fedora Linux→ The post Running Fedora Linux appeared first on From thoughts to text.| From thoughts to text
I spent too much time getting IPv6 to work on OpenWRT (version 22.03.5) and Altibox, my local ISP. The first issue was getting an IPv6 address in the first place, but that seems to just have fixed itself and I have no idea why. The second issue was to get OpenWRT to hand out IPv6 … Continue reading IPv6 on OpenWRT and Altibox→ The post IPv6 on OpenWRT and Altibox appeared first on From thoughts to text.| From thoughts to text
I’ve been doing my digital detox again this Easter. Although, truth be told, it is probably also a people detox. A noise detox. A get away-from-it-all detox. But it works. The solitude was…enriching. Still, I kind of crave more of it. More away-from-it-all. To just disappear. Completely. Maybe someday. The activities this Easter was as … Continue reading The Easter Detox→ The post The Easter Detox appeared first on From thoughts to text.| From thoughts to text
