The "circuit" is really simple, and so is the coding, but the result is quite cool: Connect your paddle to your phone using a Raspi Pico.
Of course I was just kidding. And of course, yes, there is such an award:

I'm a little sad. So, I shelled out 10 bucks for Mozilla VPN, hoping it would help me watch a Japanese show on Amazon that I've watched a while ago but that is now geo-blocked because ... who knows? But Amazon detects that I'm using a VPN and tells me to f* off. I'd totally buy the DVD but there isn't any, since the new mode of delivering video is nice geo-blocked internet. This is why certain languages don't have a word for "progress".
PSA: The "verified" symbol you see on Twitter etc means absolutely nothing on Mastodon or the Fediverse. On here, symbols like are just custom emoji that anyone can use and put after their name. Don't be fooled! 😁
There are ways to verify your identity on here, but the symbol is not one of them.
The easiest way to verify your identity is if you have a website that people already know is yours. You can paste a special code into your website which will verify your address and it will turn green on your Mastodon profile (see here for instructions: https://mstdn.social/@feditips/106274105538953001).
Alternatively, you can set up a server as a subdomain of your known website address. For example, the European union set up their own Mastodon server at https://social.network.europa.eu, and we know it really is the EU because the server address is part of the EU's well-known europa.eu domain.
@AG0NY ROFL at your vanity call sign. Nice!
@m0xuu hi, Gopan, and welcome to this instance! Have much fun!
Unsurprisingly, the influx of attention here is causing an influx of harassment, including people spamming the introduction hashtags.
Make sure to block and report (on the hope that their instance moderators might ban them), and if an instance looks to be totally trash, think about sending it to your instance's admins for a de-federation or an instance-level block. Nothing like blocking a whole server worth of losers at once.
We all keep the Fediverse clean together!
Shelled out some money to buy me a portable HF vertical. I always wanted one and now that thing from recently where I could only work 2m in my back yard because of lack of motivation to set up an EFHW for HF on 20m won't happen again. Also, I can use it during my summer vacation. I decided I'd rather operate than build a vertical myself.
