I don’t always work in Dark Mode on Mojave but I’m is liking a lot more than I expected. I guess I’m using it about 70% of the time. In particular, I use the Reader feature from Safari to block out the distractions and other bits of branding ‘chrome’ that make it difficult to read. […]

The 60 seconds are actually 1 second silence, 46.872 second of signal, then another 12.128 seconds of silence, allowing for clock drifts and for a human to choose the reply.
The mode is this slow in order to add a lot of redundancy and to make it easier for the receiver to dig out a signal way below the noise floor. It was originally meant for making contacts by bouncing signals off the moon, which has a path loss of ~250dB. Someone even managed a JT65 moonbounce on 10 Watts using JT65 with gear you and I could buy/build!. That’s the power of a low energy light bulb!
I wanted to do propagation experiments with SDR, with low power in various frequency bands, but couldn’t find a GNURadio module for JT65. So I made one.
The JT65 specification is very well written, except for the parts it says “the code is the specification”. Which would normally be fine, but the code is in Fortran and Fortran is terrible.
JT65A is Continue reading
Cloudflare’s mission is to help build a better internet, and privacy has to be at the heart of that effort. That’s why we submitted comments last week on the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA)’s request for comment on its proposed approach to advance consumer privacy.
We think it is important for Internet infrastructure companies like us to be a part of the conversation about the future of internet privacy. We want to advocate for an internet that remains accessible to all, while becoming more secure and protective of privacy.
In 2018, we’ve seen high profile data breaches and data misuse, Europe’s sweeping data protection law – the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – come into effect, and California pass its own comprehensive Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). All of this has captured the attention of Washington, D.C. lawmakers and regulators.
On September 25, 2018, NTIA began a process to solicit feedback from stakeholders on a proposed approach to consumer data privacy. NTIA is the Executive Branch agency in the Department of Commerce that is principally Continue reading
