#CommandLine #NodeSetup #AllStarLink #TechTips #Tutorial

I show how I fixed being stuck in an APRS dead zone by building a simple APRS fill-in digipeater using a cheap hamfest radio, a Raspberry Pi, and Direwolf. If you’ve ever struggled with APRS coverage, messaging, or getting your packets heard outside your local area, this setup bridges the gap and actually makes APRS useful again. I’ll walk through the hardware, configuration, and real-world results so you can build your own APRS digipeater and extend coverage wherever you operate.

Your radio might transmit unexpectedly when it first boots up. This isn’t a sign it’s ready, but a warning. Ensure a proper antenna or dummy load is connected to avoid damage.

I re-ran my Windows 11 vs Linux benchmark using better hardware and CachyOS to see if Linux really is faster—and the results were not what I expected. In this video I compare Geekbench (single-core, multi-core, OpenCL, Vulkan), Speedometer 3.1, JetStream 2.2, and Superposition to see how Windows and Linux stack up in both synthetic and real-world performance. If you’re wondering whether Linux actually outperforms Windows on modern hardware—or if it depends on the workload—this breakdown will give you the full picture.
