I think the TV series is more canon. The Japanese don’t really have a concept of strict canon, it seems. So much other anime and manga in the Gundam universe takes place during UC 0079. 08th MS Team, War in the Pocket, Blue Destiny, Space to the End of a Flash, Cucuruz Doan’s Island, Thunderbolt, and how many video games?

Honestly? Just roll with it and enjoy it. Figure out canonicity later.

It’s longer and has some characters and events that got cut from the movies for time (like Challia Bull, a one-off who got a bigger role in the what-if GQuuuuuux timeline).

Welcome to the fandom! The 1979 series wasn’t what the creator originally had in mind, until he went to see Star Wars and decided to tweak several things. While the TV series flopped, the compilation movies were a hit, and a franchise was born.

I second Waypipe. It tunnels over SSH, and while you have to run a command for it, it’s still much easier than X forwarding.

Processors of that age still exist in special builds, like tougher ones for automotive use with lots of heat and vibration, or radiation-hardened ones for space use where you can’t dispatch a technician. But for consumers use, they’re long dead.

I’ve only seen a few SVU episodes, so every antagonist is awful. Consent is always cool. But that kind of storyline has made it hard to focus like you have. Thank you for pointing this out, and I’ll think more critically next time it’s on.

Another KiTTY user! Can you share that setting?

Does CB radio allow data emissions? I thought it was only AM and SSB voice.

Could you send ePub files over ham radio? Let’s forget about TCP-IP mesh networking like AREDN for now. That’s too easy. Let’s look at radio protocols. D-Star can run at 128 Kbps on the 23 cm band. That’s not too common. Drop down to HF and you’re looking at 9 Kbps via PACTOR-IV.

In comparison, landline dial-up modems topped out at around 56 Kbps.

Now, I’ve seen ePub files around 1-2 MB, but that’s with cover art, images, embedded fonts, and all that fun stuff. With enough patience, that can work. But, strip out all that, leaving behind plain text and XML, and you’ve got something much more manageable that can be sent relatively quickly.

I can’t speak for Spain, but in the U.S., the FCC recently removed most symbol rate restrictions, so we might be able to squeeze out a little more speed.

My first Linux was Gentoo. It took several tries to get code compiled and working on that Pentium 4, but I will say, the process taught me a lot about Linux in general. It was the ultimate crash course. I’d recommend Gentoo for all beginners who don’t mind digging in to the point of frustration, because it’s a great learning experience.
