This type of attack isn't likely to cause a 'meltdown', since the uranium is usually in a very hot vaporous form while being centrifuged. If the containers rupture, it will spread out and condensate in a thin layer that'

Fingerprinting something like this would be trivial, they've probably already done it. Using the ja3 library [1] you can make pretty good deterministic TLS connection fingerprints, and that works fine for traffic that you can't de

PFAS is going to be the asbestos of our generation, except it won't be so easy to get rid of this time around. It's more like the asbestos of every future generation until we find a way to reliably break it down.

Thanks for sharing and putting it in perspective. Would you recommend any articles/books/papers to learn more about the reality of PFAS contamination, especially when it enters the broader water supply (ie. outside bases)?

It's not extremely clear, but it seems like the most effective way to remove PFAS from water is to essentially electrolyze it. > The electrochemical oxidation system used boron-doped diamond electrodes, in a process breaking down th

Yes, absolutely true. I've re-read some of the US history, and it was much more recent (if even). The EPA put pressure on DuPont and 3M to begin a phase-out in 2002, but it wasn't until 2015 that they stopped manufacturing it... E

PFAS is a pretty serious problem with US (and global) water supplies. There was a great documentary a couple years ago that covered it [0]. Even though they 'stopped' using these chemicals in manufacturing 10-15 years ago, there&#

If we held a war, all of these fancy planes would be gone in the first week. So would all the aircraft carriers, a good number of ships, and likely all of the stealth bombers too. That's the funny thing about modern military tech, it o

100% agree. I think at the bare minimum every system should have two partitions: `/` and `/var` /var is usually where the most data gets added. Logs, database files, caches, and whatever other junk your app spits out. 99% of

The state of all network firewalls/routers is appalling. Even high end Cisco, Fortinet, or even Palo Alto gear is riddled with security issues, critically outdated packages, and general poor maintenance. IMO, the only way to have a rea

Agree. It's also one of the annoying websites that breaks scrolling with yet more javascript crap. It's a lot of cruft for a text-with-images page that hasn't changed conceptually since 1995.

Nope, still not a good idea. The name alone suggests militarization of space which is a horrible idea. The only thing that kept us alive through the 20th century was mutually assured destruction, and more importantly, the capability to de
