This is different, what would be the purpose of having two falcons on one pole. One pointed at the driver, one at the license plate? They are all over the interstate in my area now. It's to see who's driving obviously, no? These c

As an aside, have you noticed falcons point at the driver now? As in at the face? What's the purpose of this? Especially after lots of open PR that the alprs only capture the rear of vehicles. I don't quite understand the leap tha

Yeah but that is the exact purpose of the warrant. It's suppose to add friction so you can't do this exact thing, even if it's useful and faster not to.

You act like it wasn't in place just five years ago. It's a new paradigm. Flock is the first to blatently collect and sell public whereabouts for private gain. Conflating this with insurance is a interesting take. Also, the notion

Monetization of public data for private profit is the heart of my qualms. Why should it be possible for my bits be scooped up and sold for profit against my will.

Thats a good way to look at it. You would be in a constant state of alarm if the poles were officers.

Hotlists imply that actual search takes place the moment you pass one, so really, the illegal search happens before. Even if warrants were required to manually search.

This is a quick proof of concept still in the works. The way this works is you set up a longterm device at home, this is always on. Its like a physical mailbox. The server manager sets up two onion services/dependencies. One to be used

I think the only way this could work is if they sold me a box I could put at home, then access it on any of my existing devices as your own actual private instance. One device for the whole family or something.

Opus has incredible compression rates with high intelligibility I recommend if bandwidth is an issue...a few mild voice effects like static could be fun for the kids to make it seem like it's a real ham transmission, opus makes that ea

Very cool, I made a similar walkie talkie style program. https://gitlab.com/here_forawhile/terminalphone I didn't realize a esp could run the tor binaries. I may have to dive into seeing if I can get it running on

It's a really great idea! How much for all the parts?

Naturally the first thing to test should be how far of a link can you create with LOS. Radio's get intercepted, this is a cheap laser link.

> The receiver can start receiving blocks from any point, receive blocks in any order, with any erasure probability – fountain codes will work as soon as you received K+ different blocks. Thats just cool.

Breaking modern encryption comes down to being in control of key generation rather than brute force. Other than that you'll have a hard time bute forcing 2^256 possibilities. Comes down to a gut feeling but I lean that this stuff is al

What are the main things you can do in a real shell versus termux for instance? It's a pretty big sandbox in my experience.

I think part of the new equation may also become; "Why even pay for the SaaS in the first place if you can just forge the service exactly how you want it?" The benefits of unlimited access to the tool you forge are still there, it

Anecdotal, but when I switched carriers to ATT, I immediately started getting loads of spam calls. Same number. So it made me think ATT had a leak somewhere in there infra.
