It's a serial protocol to talk with a Terminal Node Controller so that you can use a computer to control and send AX.25 packets, rather than rely on the firmware in the TNC.

Most hams these days are using soundcard modems and not using TNCs.
Why make it so difficult when + addressing exists?

I shut down one of my sites once I realized the massive traffic spike was all AI.
The person is Meaghan Frye. She is awesome and the heart of TravellerCon after the death of her husband Keith.
I consider myself truly lucky to have played in one of Keith's last games at TravellerCon before his death.
While I would never try to publish something generated by AI, I do use AI tools for PC and NPC portraits (mostly this person doesn't exist, because I suck at prompting) in a personal capacity for games I'm in. I prefer it to taking historical photos and using those, which I've known several GM's to do, often without checking who the person was, or assigning the photo of a civil rights activist as a villain (yeah, don't play in that game any more).
I have mixed feelings on AI as a field. I don't believe it is reliable when it comes to decisions or coding. But it can be useful as a starting point. For people with zero artistic skill and limited funds it can be a useful tool.
I would say "no promotion or selling of AI generated content, but discussion of AI and it's possible uses is okay". I don't even mind posting of AI art, as long as it is clearly labeled.
Start with plain old Gramps. It can export to static sites with several different templates. Gramps Web is not easy to host or run. It was designed for some specialized things.
I love Fossil-scm. Even host my own instance with my web host. I was considering using github moving forward, but given recent events and decisions by Microsoft, I'll be sticking with Fossil-scm.
I've taken the creator of TravellerMap.com out to lunch several times when at TravellerCon.
Due to the conditions of his job, he can't accept any monetary donations or payment for his work on TravellerMap.com.
VSCode with Foam. Or go old school with Vim Wiki.
Obsidian now has a native query ability via the Bases core plugin. I've barely played with it though.
Some of us live with cellular "broadband" and are thrilled to get 60Mbps. And no, there is no other option available at my location (not counting 12Mbps DSL).
I also prefer N connectors.
