00:00:00 <BlackBishop> electrohead: you said you have some dvb dongles ?
00:00:00 <BlackBishop> I was thinking about setting up a fr24 rpi
00:00:00 <electrohead> yeah a bunch of them
00:00:00 <BlackBishop> What do you recommend ?
00:01:00 <electrohead> technically, any rtl-sdr dongle will work
00:01:00 <electrohead> that said - dongles with notch filters and pre-amps are available, and help out a fuck ton
00:02:00 <BlackBishop> Gimme some examples... I'll check if they're available here
00:03:00 <electrohead> https://www.amazon.com/ADSBexchange-com-RTL2832U-Antenna-Software-Industrial/dp/B09F2ND4R6/ - here's one
00:03:00 <electrohead> I have something similar to that, and then I have a high gain entenna
00:03:00 <electrohead> antenna*
00:05:00 <electrohead> https://www.amazon.com/1090MHz-Antenna-Fiberglass-SMA-Male-Extension/dp/B09BQ4H26L/
00:05:00 <electrohead> mine looks almost like that one
00:06:00 <electrohead> I'll be running a PoE line outside to a weather-proof box, most likely; I just don't want much loss of signal, with too much feedline
00:06:00 <BlackBishop> Makes sense
00:06:00 <Breathe> Hey fellas.
00:06:00 <electrohead> that's actually the only issue right now I have with my antenna collection; want everything up on the roof, but for the setup I want ... eh, so much feedline
00:07:00 <electrohead> hey Breathe o/
00:07:00 <BlackBishop> Umm... I can't put it outside unfortunately... But i can put it by the window
00:07:00 <electrohead> in that case, the antenna that comes with that, will be good enough for you
00:08:00 <electrohead> I have the high gain antenna for seeing as much as possible, since I'm really out in the open
00:09:00 <electrohead> best thing you could do - make your own tuned antenna for 1.09 GHz
00:09:00 <electrohead> (I did this a while ago, using 12 gauge copper wire, and a cork)
00:09:00 <BlackBishop> :-))
00:12:00 <electrohead> my best antenna build was the QFH antenna - for capturing data from a few weather satellites
00:12:00 <electrohead> :D
00:12:00 <electrohead> took some time, but it came out really nice
00:16:00 <BlackBishop> It's nice when you have where to put them
00:16:00 <BlackBishop> I live in a building in an apartment complex where we're not allowed to put stuff outside
00:16:00 <BlackBishop> I mean...i could put some stuff on the balcony
00:17:00 <BlackBishop> But that would require 7-10m of cable
00:17:00 <BlackBishop> Mmm...actually .... No
00:17:00 <BlackBishop> I have an idea...
00:17:00 <BlackBishop> I have a poe switch in the living room that has the balcony
00:18:00 <BlackBishop> http://www.21residence-politehnica.ro/index.php/apartamente/faza-1/4-camere mine is the B type at the bottom
00:19:00 <BlackBishop> The good part is that I am at the upper levels so the buildings around me don't eat the sun
00:19:00 <BlackBishop> That is also the bad thing sometimes
00:52:00 <electrohead> sorry, I was outside for a bit
00:52:00 <electrohead> heard a plane flying somewhat close to the ground, so had to take a look
00:52:00 <electrohead> had some coffee and was hanging for a bit, heh
00:52:00 <electrohead> ahh, country life :)
01:45:00 <BlackBishop> Soon.... Soon....
01:46:00 <BlackBishop> In a few years
01:57:00 <BlackBishop> also, I can recommend IODD-mini, nice little thingy !
02:05:00 <BlackBishop> on that note, since truenas13-u1 came out... I'll try to update from my 12u8.1
02:10:00 <electrohead> oooo
02:10:00 <electrohead> sexy lol
02:10:00 <BlackBishop> depending on how much stuff you manage, it's useful
02:10:00 <BlackBishop> but it also has a nice option to create "virtual drives"
02:10:00 <BlackBishop> which you can write-protect
02:11:00 <BlackBishop> and you can hide your main partition ( as in not present it completely to the OS ) so it's safe to plugin into various computers
02:11:00 <electrohead> very nice
02:11:00 <BlackBishop> you can even boot off it
02:11:00 <BlackBishop> update done :) worked great
02:12:00 <electrohead> \o/
02:12:00 <electrohead> speaking of - my lora radio / dev board is showing up today
02:12:00 <electrohead> I'm going to see what kind of telemetry I can pick up from satellites
02:12:00 <electrohead> heh
02:13:00 <BlackBishop> niceee
02:14:00 <BlackBishop> https://www.youtube.com/c/AndreasSpiess/videos this guy has alot of lora stuff
02:28:00 <electrohead> this is me - https://i.redd.it/30eghqetuib91.jpg

05:07:00 <gee_man> Nintendo Japan says it recognises same-sex marriages, even if Japan doesn't: https://bit.ly/3AMRQnI
