Re: Bridging between older and newer SSH

Good idea! I suppose it depends on how far back in versions you want to go. But I've accidentally solved this at home by running a Debian 8 virtual machine as jump server. It still retains a bunch of older ciphers it seems, and lets older machines connect to it, while still being able to connect to ...

Re: Moldy Apple Adventures

Haha yeah! I've done a lot of strange stuff in hotel rooms, but never before torn down a laptop to this extent and fully restored it. But it was all smooth sailing, surprisingly! I was kinda surprised that the internet sharing just worked straight away. I wonder if the original Apple thunderbolt att...

Re: Moldy Apple Adventures

So I scored a cheap Macbook Pro from mid 2012 on auction. I've been regretting selling the one I had years ago, so I was pleased to find one for a good price is very fair condition. It already had its original hard drive replaced with an SSD, ad the old hard drive put in an adapter where the optical...

Re: A couple of DIY shortwave radio receivers and a new antenna

I have thought about redoing and tidying up the wiring in the radio receiver I'm currently working on ever since I built it really.. It had always been an ugly hack job because I built it with pretty much no wire to use, so it all turned into a bodge job from the start. And several changes and addit...

Re: A couple of DIY shortwave radio receivers and a new antenna

Well, this took most of the fucking day, because as it turns out, that antenna design was not great. Well, it's good, but it's picky with what components you use, and I don't have all the exactly right ones. SO! I built another trashy ghetto-looking one that I don't dare to show (also because I don'...

A couple of DIY shortwave radio receivers and a new antenna

IMG_3678.JPG I've been a ham radio operator for... wow, fuck, 15 years already?! Goodness. I should probably make a ham radio section on here. Anywhoos. That hobby has been mostly dorment for a number of years, but I got struck by a spark of interest for it lately. So I dug out a pair of my homemad...
