As of today, my laptop is now 2/3 complete, I've put the windows portion (
TAZOpticon) on and... Holy shit that's a lot of programs to install. At least like, #YAAC, #VarAC, and one other I'm probably forgetting will just immediately bind to the GPS COM port and get position updates, so that's cool.I uh, get to reformat my backup target as exFAT though, I'm NOT using #WSL2 JUST to get local machine backups. I might use WSL2 to try OP25 though.... But yeah. I doubt Borg will like exFAT as its repository FS (no journaling), but it's compatible. (I'll explain the nuance of windows being broken, later)
Thoughts to consider.

Playing around with FreeDATA (https://freedata.app/) app on 40 meters. What a nice modern application, can operate keyboard-to-keyboard QSO's and leave messages from a remote PC using a webbrowser. Seems like a nice modern alternative to #JS8CALL. It's based on the open source #Codec2 which is also used for #FreeDV and #M17. No need for proprietary software modems like #VARA anymore. If you like stuff like #VarAC or #JS8 give this a try! #hamradio #ham #freedata
