  • Thanks! I’m sure most of these cheaper handhelds are going to work basically the same for transmitting.

    I think one of the bigger AliExpress sales is later this month, spring sale or something? I’ve been leaning towards the Quansheng mainly because of all of the custom firmware available. I didn’t realize it could pick up NOAA alerts. Have you played with the spectrum analyzer?

    The TD-H3 also has a pretty wide receive range and a nice looking screen (annoying text printed on the side of the screen though…would have been better left blank)












  • I’m pretty sure I used one that was terminal based, likely using ncurses. Without searching, I can’t recall the name of it, though.

    I used XMPP a bit among friends, more so when Google supported it, which was probably after ICQ/AIM/MSN wasn’t as popular? I don’t really talk to many people anymore, so whatever, heheh :)

    It would be nice to see XMPP make some kind of “comeback” … or some sort of popularity boost like mastodon/lemmy/etc in recent times.

    My daughter reads a lot of books checked out via overdrive on her kobo (in Canada), though the search feature on the kobo itself is kind of garbage. We have better luck doing a search with the Libby app on a phone, checking it out, then syncing the kobo.

    I use a Kindle myself (purchased on one of the good sales for roughly half price), though primarily via epub files transferred to the Kindle using Calibre. It’s a busy UI, but it does work well and has lots of features. Pretty good as an archive of your ebook library.




  • That’s a great version, never heard that one.

    Admittedly, I wasn’t a huge fan of the song back when it came out (I do like it now) - I was pretty narrow in my music choices, just getting into metal at the time. I’ll listen to anything good these days :) Or at least appreciate good musicians even if I’m not a fan of a song.
