Do you like the taste of vinegar? Does anyone? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] BenDoubleU@lemmy.radio 3 points 3 months ago

A Canadian friend introduced me to putting malt vinegar on my “fish and chips”. Was one of those eye opening “why haven’t I been doing this all my life!” moments.

First Venus bounce with the Dwingeloo telescope – Dwingeloo #AmateurRadio Telescope | CAMRAS (www.camras.nl)
 

On 22 March 2025, we used the Dwingeloo telescope to successfully bounce a radio signal off the surface of Venus. At the time, Venus was in its closest approach to Earth at about 42.000.000 km. Such a conjunction happens when Venus is between the Sun and the Earth, and happens approximately every 580 days.

What Can We Do to Get Youth into Ham Radio? in c/amateur_radio@lemmy.radio

This is very one sided. There's SO much more to ham radio than voice.

Maybe the question is "How do we get people to think that ham radio is more than just a voice call?"

If you're in the US, you can test online! https://hamstudy.org/sessions/remote

I do agree that the test itself could be tuned down a bit, especially for the tech license. hamstudy.org also has all of the test questions available online to help you study.

How can we Google for Lemmy content instead of Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Try kagi search! It actually has a “lense” or search option that lets you directly search federated services like lemmy: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/lenses.html

If I remember right, there was a pretty big change in how pictrs(photo management) worked with lemmy after 0.19.3. There were a few breaking changes and Postgres updates that would take an instance down for a while as well. Not sure if that’s the reason why but it made my instance stay on 0.19.3 for longer than it should have.

What are some of your favorite/successful methods for finding new Lemmy instances/channels for niche topics? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] BenDoubleU@lemmy.radio 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You can search instances and communities with https://lemmyverse.net/communities

Hashtags do not replace groups. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

As an instance owner and moderator: that’s a horrible way to look at things. Just throwing the onus onto someone else is irresponsible.
