I've been interested in trying out RSS again but I don't want to self-host. Can anyone recommend a RSS client (hosted, local, or whatever) that they like?

If you don't already have some combat boots, look for some new or used ones at an army surplus store. They're usually cheap and look great.

Vintage band shirts can often be gotten from Ebay

Something like a FT240-43 toroid should work for 80m to 10m.

That is to make a common-mode choke on your feedline. You can always try to improve the RFI emissions from devices in your house by snapping on some ferrite on wall warts etc.

They're mainly doing it to deny India and Bangladesh access to their largest river. It's not like people need fresh water to live, right?

The main job of the unun is to match the impedance of the wire to the 50ohm feedline. You may or may not need a common mode choke to prevent RFI, but I had a lot of RF problems with my 40-10 EFHW. My radio was fine but my computer started to glitch out when was transmitting. That all disappeared once I looped my feedline through some ferrite.

Awesome! If you do plan on transmitting (on 10m), I recommend a common-mode choke on the feedline between your radio and the EFHW. All you need is a ferrite toroid and loop the feedline a few times through it. This can prevent RF going into your shack, which is kind of a thing with EFHW antennas. Otherwise EFHWs can work very well. Have fun and enjoy your new radio.

FWIW I have never been bothered by a little cosmetic wear.

And people pay extra these days to get a "relic"ed guitar. Make of that what you will.

Hi y'all. I've recently started looking at getting back into running Linux again as a main OS. With Proton and Steam all my gaming works fine. And with so many web apps those are all cross-platform anyways.

However the one application which I have not yet found a good alternative for is Adobe Lightroom. I've found Lightroom to be simply the best experience for managing a large (100k+) catalog of photos. I've really tried to get into using Darktable but while it can do a lot, I've found the UX to be incredibly bad and painful to use.

Is there a photo workflow app which is relatively simple, efficient and easily usable that lets me manage my photo library, can do some basic editing (levels, crop, etc.) and runs on Linux? Thanks.

Ah, fixed. Thanks

Do you really believe the US Senate cares about 75 Nobel Laureates?
