I was, but with it being a mostly media heavy update, I wanted to put it off a bit. I'll look into it soon and maybe 0.19.5 as well. We may use image proxying in the future. This comment is mostly talking about new moderating tools. https://join-lemmy.org/news/2024-06-07_-Lemmy_Release_v0.19.4-_Image_Proxying_and_Federation_improvements

“I AM being respectful.”
It’s just not the case. It’s ok to voice an opinion but we can do so in a manner that doesn’t attack other people, and you did in my opinion.
“This is why our democracy has come so close to failing-and you’re part of the reason why.
Yes, I just said that. Think very carefully before you reply”
That’s a threat.
Let’s take this down a notch. Please refer to rule number 1
Be respectful of others
While not a mod of mastodon.radio, I want this to be civil.
Is there a GitHub issue for this?
The International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) HF World Championships begin at 1200 UTC on Saturday, July 8, 2023, and run through 1159 UTC on Sunday, July 9.
Attention to full ARRL members in the Atlantic, Dakota, Delta, Great Lakes, and Midwest Divisions. You have the opportunity to choose a Director and a Vice Director to represent you for a 3-year term beginning January 1, 2024.
If the bigger instance has to push/pull in data from you personal communities because they sub to it, then yes. 1 person not using your front end isn’t going to change much.
it was me... i said that :)
"Allowed Hosts" is white listing btw. You should leave it blank if you want more than just lemmy.world and lemmy.ml
And I wouldn't say it reduces the load on those sites. It would kind of add to them in a way if you post from your instance or sub from your instance solo. If it's just you on your instance, it's barely a blip. May save them some photo hosting if you post.
SOME of the out of sync upvotes/comments are fixed in 0.18.1
I believe some things are populated by your hostname in the lemmy configs so straight IP may break a few things.
The solar flare was categorized as an X1.08-class flare, making it one of the most powerful classes of flare to be ejected from the sun.

I think it's just a general situation. A lot of the "big instances" are having a lot of issues right now with federating correctly. Comments, counts, votes are all off on most instances it seems.
There are a few github issues you can find/follow. It's supposed to be addressed a bit better int 0.18.1
As the Ukraine and Russian war continues, this guide looks at how radio has played a significant role in the conflict.
![The Critical Use of Radios In the Ukraine and Russian War – Radio Fidelity](https://lemmy.radio/pictrs/image/aec135cd-89b1-4956-a4c2-2410f1130c0c.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
Throughout history, radio technologies haven’t just influenced how we consume news and entertainment. They’ve also played an essential role in the communication strategies of soldiers and military groups, particularly during wartime.
The 46th annual International Amateur Radio Exhibition, HAM RADIO, attracted more than 11,000 visitors to Friedrichshafen, Germany, June 23 - 25, 2023.
Was down for almost a month!
>As of June 27, 2023, all systems have been reported to be working. However, visitors to the website will see a message referring them to Public Notice DA 23-529 for additional information and guidance on filing deadline extensions.
Was looking into trying some digital modes and even logging while mobile (POTA/SOTA) or just on the road. I’ve also heard people use android devices as well.
The commission has extended deadlines for regulatory filings that were due in the affected systems

Most of the Federal Communications Commission’s online systems are back in service now, and the commission has issued further guidance regarding extensions of filing deadlines.
I was always interested in ham radio but never got licensed. Then covid hit and I had time to study. Online testing made it a snap.
Hey all!
(tl;dr !amateur_radio is taking the place of !ragchew)
When lemmy.radio first started (a week ago?), I created a hand full of communities I thought would interest most hams. A few other user created communities have also popped up, which has been great. It's fun seeing other hams join and share their interests.
One thing I've noticed as I've been using lemmy and looking for other amateur radio news outside of our instance is that we aren't discoverable AT ALL if you search for "amateur radio". That's pretty absurd for a server whose whole purpose is to bring amateur radio enthusiasts together.
In order to help our site be a bit more findable, I've created Amateur Radio. Any general amateur radio discussion, questions, and news can be posted there.
Rag Chew was started as a sort of catch-all community for radio discussions that didn't fall into any specific category/community, pretty much what Amateur Radio will be used for. I'm not sure what to do with !ragchew now. We can retire it or leave it open for general NON-amateur radio talk. That also opens the discussion of "Do we want non-amateur radio communities here?". I'll leave that up to everyone here. If you have any thoughts on that, leave them in the comments.
Thanks and 73,
Ben
W0CHP-PiStar-Dash, or “WPSD”, is a completely new kind of Pi-Star.
Recently updated my pi-star with this version and WOW is it a lot more responsive and easy to use. Even has a few different digital modes to play around with, like M17.
>This is my very highly modified and customized fork of MW0MWZ’s Pi-Star software, and I call it “W0CHP-PiStar-Dash” (abbreviated as WPSD). There are so many large changes, divergences and new features, it merited my own fork/version.

I live in a valley so it’s hard to hit any local digital repeaters. Built this to hit all the modes I can. Full duplex.

I'm either in my shack or in the mountains (or posting here)
