I would have thought the signals from the sun would bounce around on ground terrain, making things like WiFi useless. Does this also mean I should try to shield my outdoor wireless devices from sunlight?

There could be a case if the magnetic fields created interfered with some molecular function, but I'm not up to date on that.

Being non-ionizing is definitely a perk of regular radio, but it doesn't necessarily mean it can't create cell damage.

I'm not sure about the specifics, but the sun is a blackbody radiator. As visible light is orders of magnitude higher frequency than regular radio waves (say, AWS which uses 1.9/2GHz), the amount of radio-level RF emitted by the s

The problem is, the sun is more powerful, but the wavelength of the visible/UV light means it can't get past our skin. Radio waves obviously can penetrate much farther and get to the areas that you would want to be concerned about

It's not the PiHole itself that's the problem, but rather the clients on the LAN. I already redirect the PiHole's traffic over a VPN so the ISP is none the wiser, but I could go further and use DoH for that too.

by netr0ute 5y ago
This is the kind of answer I needed.
428.
by netr0ute 5y ago
What happens if the DoH servers are blocked? I do this at home to stop any client from bypassing PiHole and if FF isn't smart enough to consider this scenario, then that's bad.

This is weird, because some high-end, expensive things that are great usually lack testimonials because their buyer demographics would never care about them anyway. However, it would be nice to have them for new ML services because you don&

It's ironic because Arduino is all about FOSH, except for the one thing that might actually get used in the "real world."

They already do, just hidden under the guise of lobbying and marketing.

Maybe if their revenue exceeds those of many governments.

Sad, but at least The Big Ada could fight back by not selling the Pros until they become FOSH.

If corporations effectively become governments, then the amendment should apply.

That's typical if you have a VPN, which many people do.

Actually, we should wonder why they would have the "audacity" to do this.

In the US, forcibly including certain code in your program would be a 1st amendment violation.

That can't happen with open-source, whether it's "free" or not.

The "Powder Game" version used to be my favorite "game" of all time. However, I always got limited by how many things you could use at once which I thought should be no problem on modern hardware.

I'm thinking of if the radio had a component failure/missing and the wave it produced was either amplified or modified to be something like a square wave. It would be hard to do the latter with a simple software mod but easy with

Still technically true, but social media companies can conceivably have caused preventable deaths or other bad things due to their algorithms designed to cause hate in the name of "engagement."

The problem is, the kinds of problems caused by modification of the radio and a manufacturing mistake can be totally different and so things that you encountered you wouldn't see if someone simply modified it to operate on a different

This is technically true, but when megacorps become the government within their niche, then maybe the 1st amendment should apply.

That's not intentional modification, just bad quality control from the manufacturer.
