Browsing through various social media I came across a really interesting article that I didn’t know, which explains in a few short steps how to update the programs installed on your Windows computer, automatically (or manually) via the CMD terminal.

Jellyfin, your DIY self‑hosted Netflix
Recently I wanted to revisit Plex, the web-based media management and streaming software, but I noticed that to use it remotely, you need a subscription, and I’m still not clear how independent my server really is, since the login uses external systems and Plex’s official site.
Custom shortcut keyboard commands: Files, folders and softwares.
Lately working a lot with the laptop, I find it uncomfortable to use the touchpad (having grown up with the desktop computer) especially when I have to move between multiple folders and sub-folders. Doing a bit of research online I discovered that it is possible to assign keyboard commands directly on Windows to quickly access certain files or folders.
View which antenna is selected remotely

APRS with OpenGD77 on Baofeng DM-1701
With the new versions of the OpenGD77 firmware, some features have been implemented, including the ability to transmit the position in APRS in FM even with radios without GPS.

HamClock web on docker
Last night while I was still experimenting with the docker system (i.e. virtualization of services on a server) I searched for something related to the world of amateur radio. The first result was HamClock (which I already knew) but which normally runs as direct software and not on a browser.
Homebox: Docker Inventory Management
