Today is Field Day, an emergency preparedness exercise for amateur radio operators! The goal: set up a temporary station, and then make as many contacts as possible over 24 hours.

https://www.arrl.org/Field-Day/

Check the Field Day Locator to find a station near you. Many stations are set up like an "open house" and welcome visitors.

If you make contact with K2HAX, let them know that Rey said hello :)

New blog post: How to implement a basic ActivityPub server https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/

@gled @kensanata @imaginot_dominarration It would be interesting if you had a blog post or write up on this process. It sounds very smart considering how many states and provinces can be about estates after death.

'...might sound silly today, in an era of centralized services (e.g. Facebook, Google) bombarding our inboxes, phones, and "feeds". As privacy and security breaches make headlines, we clamor for a decentralized internet. But less than twenty years ago, the internet was decentralized, when the human cycle of individualism versus collectivism was perfectly aligned with divergent expression...'

PATROL: a recording of a secret without activity or effort

A small aspect of 80's computer history I was previously unaware of. I don't know if we did this in the US, but I hope so. Now we do something like this all the time without even thinking about it: "How People Used to Download Games From the Radio".

social.coop folks with an interest in agriculture might enjoy Robert Biel's open access book "Sustainable Food Systems":

https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-press/browse-books/sustainable-food-systems-the-role-of-the-city

It's a primer on a radical approach to the problem of food insecurity. Its call to "unleash the associative and co-operative traditions of the working class" is one of the many interesting strands it brings together.

An interview with the author about it: http://climateandcapitalism.com/2018/04/08/sustainable-food-systems-an-interview-with-robert-biel/

this follow-up article raises the due concerns and paints the whole worrying picture
