Grr and argh.
The people who make government websites generally tend to do a halfway decent job of meeting the spec, but they really really need to learn to push back when the spec is FUCKING STUPID.

I keep seeing #HamRadio antennas using all sort of huge devices to create links between band segments. Alligator clips. Wago blocks. Mueller clips. Mostly with the antenna wire tied to something stiff that makes it hard to roll up neatly, rather than using flexible cord. I keep looking for and not finding examples of my approach to linking.
My solution is so simple, neat, and tidy…

Photo of an antenna link between 12 meter and 15 meter segments, shown above a metric scale. The entire link is between 17 and 18 cm long. Dacron cord carries the load between the two segments, which are connected by banana plugs insulated by more heat shrink.
The same link as in the first picture, this time disconnected.
Linked dipole form showing one leg of a dipole with many links in it wound up for storage. The wire is wound in a figure eight to avoid twists. Several of the links are partially visible in it.

The U.S. is currently holding three times as many people in immigrant detention as were detained in the Nazi concentration camp system in spring 1939
—six years into the Third Reich and just before the start of World War II.

The correct response to Dachau was not better training for the guards.

I'm trying to type the word `part.revision` in our wiki because this is a database field I'm trying to document.
It keeps #autocorrect ing this to `part. Revision` because it thinks I'm actually starting a new sentence and am too stupid to add the space and capitalize the first word.

Lots of progress and a lots of pain. However, all of the Sisyphus modules have been implemented and I'm currently running a test across the `2.0.0b2` version. The most painful thing I fought was literally tailing a log file. Got lazy and brought in `hpcloud/tail` because it did what I needed it to, but what it _didn't_ do was work well for my application. After a day or two of battling it, I removed it and went with `bufio.NewReader`and a nice `context.CloseWith` setup and now it…

A screenshot of the 2.0.0b2 client running on `encoder01` in two terminal windows. The top-left window shows the log output of the client, the bottom-left window shows current CPU load via `btop`. The webpage in the background shows the progress of all the encoder clients and what jobs they're running.
