… that said, typing out ActivityPub IDs on Yaesu's on-screen keyboard royally sucks.

Yaesu took the worst of '90s SMS text entry interfaces and the worst of resistive touchscreen interfaces, and somehow made an abomination that's the summation of them both: an on-screen touchscreen keyboard that emulates a 1998 2G mobile phone before the invention of predictive text.

That last message only _just_ fit in the APRS message field too. I was going to say "has been busy." but that didn't fit. 🙂

@stuartl @vk4msl @vk3fur btw if you send "N" it should send you any replies for the last toot

@stuartl @vk4msl @vk3fur i don't really know how well this works in practice. I can't remember if I handled length limits

@xssfox @vk4msl @vk3fur

It might try… I doubt the APRS I-Gate sends Internet traffic back to packet.

@xssfox @vk4msl @vk3fur Could work a lot better, but it's hobbled by the limitations of IGates.

I tried here and got nothing. Not sure if it got the SSIDs confused or if previous messages got dumped on send (and dropped by the IGate).

@xssfox @vk4msl @vk3fur Ahh, the latter. aprs.internaluse.net didn't wait for the ACK before dropping.

@stuartl @vk4msl @vk3fur yeah acks aren't really implemented for flow control as not all devices support, along with igate quirks (eg if you don't get a message from a igate the igate will never send it again due it doing deduplication).
