Don't know WHERE I got Squeeze - just checked and confirmed; it's Buster,
so would definitely like to at least try to get rid of python 2.
On the rain = prefer_hardware, I looked at my old config files, and it
seems it's "bounced" back and forth, probably depending on what version of
sdr I had.. I honestly can't remember why.
