There are more modern versions of such things that can do ATSC / QAM for full HD. I picked one up that takes multiple HDMI inputs with the idea of transmitting a couple outdoor cameras to our TVs but got sidetracked with the realization that none of the coax in my home is convenient to any of our TVs.
What's the argument against using one's own actual ___domain? In these modern times where every device and software wants to force HTTPS, being able to get rid of all the browser warnings is nice.
I think this is ideal. You make a great point that even if you were to use .internal TLD that is reserved for internal use, you wouldn't be able to use letsencrypt to get a SSL certificate for it. Not sure if there are other ssl options for .internal. But, self-signed is a PITA.
I guess the lesson is to deploy a self-signed root ca in your infra early.
Check out Smallstep’s step-ca server [0]. It still requires some work, but it allows you to run your own CA and ACME server. I have nothing against just hosting records off of a subdomain and using LE as mentioned, but I personally find it satisfying to host everything myself.
But how will I know that I'm just 500 miles from South of the Border? Or 250 miles from the next Buc-ee's? Or be reminded not to diddle my daughter[1]?
Isn't that, like, everything? The first time I saw them it was because they were here, it was affordable, and I dug that Malcom in the Middle song, so why not? The second time was just because they're fun. There will be a next time and it will again be just because they're fun.
And I'm still not sure I could name another of their songs.
Anything from 20+ years ago that someone still thinks holds up as great CGI probably wasn't CGI in the first place.
The problem with CGI today is that it's over-used and mis-applied in areas that still have Uncanny Valley type issues (fight scenes, car chases/crashes, etc).
Weird how young-ish people in a particularly dense urban setting with plentiful public transit and many DMV offices to choose from — TIL: several exclusively for AAA members — may have a different lived experience than, say, older people in a rural county roughly half the size of Rhode Island with no public transit and a single DMV office.
Tho the county I refer to barely has any black residents so there couldn't possibly be any racial motivations. Just like the nearby restaurant plastered with a bunch of "rules" in giant lettering on the exterior, such as "No sagging pants", isn't owned by a racist. /s
Ruby Bridges is still alive and younger than our last president.
Why should I be interested in any of what you're going on about?
My GMRS and Technician licenses issued on the same day not quite two months ago. I'm interested in immediate family communications, communicating with people in my area, and potentially calling for help from nearby strangers. I only decided to get the Amateur license because I realized the valley in western NC where we have a home does not have a GMRS repeater but there is an Amateur club running VHF/UHF, and figured I'd have better luck convincing them to add GMRS by joining their club than as an outsider.
A cheap Chinese UHF/VHF/GMRS HT with a knock-off NA-771 reaches as far as my family needs.
And FWIW, the top feed on Broadcastify the past few days is coming from a VHF repeater on Mount Mitchell (N2GE via W4HTP due to lack of Internet).
