This sounds about right to me, but I’d like to point out the cost barrier differs into unrelated paradigms above/below OSI Layer 2.

Here’s why the Baofeng is often referred to by hams as a spurious emissions potato: https://youtu.be/8WJQb_zMpxU?feature=shared It’s cheap. It desenses easily. It picks up more noise than signal and makes an unacceptable am

Retroactive scanning, you have a point. Integrating the scan into your CI/CD would catch it. As for the numbers: see 39 mins into https://youtu.be/jWujI7Hk8O4 I used to work at npm as the SRE manager right before the a

In his talk, Feross mentioned that it would cost approximately 1 billion dollars to scan the entire npm ecosystem. They do it on demand for their customers IIRC. Try signing up and running their scans on it.

But they’ve got a point. And they’re one of the first to market. Yeah I’d get it if their solution was only tangentially applicable (it’s directly applicable). I certainly don’t want YC:HN to turn into GPT generated ad-city either. If you m

The hacker community needs a word akin to “Silent Key” - in the ham radio community - that means a contributor that’s passed on. Never met the guy but you’re damn right I know who he is. And I come from the middle of nowhere.

Ok, hah hah. Some of us are managers and need to actually do the negotiations to bring fairness to the job. If you have a way to broker this with the owners of companies that isn't indignant, please help me out. I'd love to make t

There are some Amateurs who’ve used the 2200m and 630m wavelength bands. Mostly using Morse Code, FT8 and WSPR modes as they are narrow bandwidth weak signal modes. https://youtu.be/FuugH6jn9rc https://www.qrz.co

My advice here won't be one-size-fits all and there's far too much to cover against your company's mission to just give you a hot list of tools I like. The biggest line of battle is going to be Google Workspace vs Office 365.

Sometimes the mandate is not just to save money, sometimes it’s about putting the business in a compliance posture that will enable you to land revenue from large enterprise customers who have security and data requirements. And then to not

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. If you want to pass an IT audit, good fucking luck to you. I have about 20 years of experience dealing with this ranging from mostly harmonious all the way to civil war.

Freetekno was a movement in Canada where people exploited crown land laws and went to the middle of nowhere to rave in peace. They used early satellite maps and reconnaissance. It’s dead. Wish I had participated.
