Das Internet verrottet
Tote Links, gelöschte Webpages und geänderte URLs machen das Internet zu einem Ort der Sackgassen. Wie Informationen im Netz verschwinden, erinnert an einen der berühmtesten Bibliotheksbrände der Geschichte. Doch allzu oft sind es nicht Katastrophen, die Wissen vernichten, sondern Desinteresse.

History repeats itself more than it should.
If you think we cannot get out from under these ghouls, then all I can say is we did it several times before.
We should be getting good at it by now.

There's "welfare", right? So it makes sense to have "illfare".

Disney erased FiveThirtyEight
Nothing on the internet lasts forever. But Disney’s 10-year mismanagement of FiveThirtyEight is its own story.

The Radio Image Framing Protocol (RIFP) 1.0 is an experimental, extensible standard for sending images over low-rate radio links.
The default rifp-cpfsk-4800 profile uses binary continuous-phase FSK and can be deployed around 433.92 MHz where local regulation permits it. RIFP itself is not tied to 433 MHz or to FSK and can be used in any frequency bands.
I'm still exploring various low-cost options for a device that can receive and display images on an e-ink screen in emergency areas or similar environments.
