I think once you escape the system you don't find games or other distractions enjoyable anymore. When you're fully actualized and are capable of "going your own path", satisfaction then comes from making things and…
Such as tracking you every moment of your waking life. How modern technology has become so evil, looking back. Nowadays every device we have is clearly spyware, from the point of view of 1999.
You could alter the video timings on the Jornada a bit, by writing to the video chip registers directly. That would slightly improve its abysmal contrast ratio.
I had one running NetBSD together with a Cisco Aironet 350 PCMCIA WiFi card for wardriving purposes. With the driver for the WiFi card patched to enable monitor mode. Had two different antennas, a quarter wave dipole,…
When you start hearing about $19,000 fines for a single incident, it's no surprise you feel like wanting to encourage people to get those nice, perfectly legal, Comtrend powerline networking adaptors. With that…
I think maybe it shouldn't be legal to operate high power amateur stations in built up areas, due to health and safety concerns? That there might be enough people out there, once they are aware of the very high power…
This is why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NorLTsOVFeE He wanted to use the Baofeng radios on license-free FRS frequencies and got so much shit for that. He very much sums up how I feel about it. As long as it's…
Even better if some product came onto the market, that used wideband powerline communications for its functioning, and practically everyone's got one. I think some electric car chargers might do so in the future. That…
Absolutely ridiculous. That makes me want nothing to do with the hobby, period. These hams are behaving like animals with a dominance hierarchy. With "newbs" and status in that hierarchy based on license class /…
You mean those Predator drones used in the early 2000s that had a standard DVB-S uplink for the video feed, which were unencrypted back then? I think the video feed was IP encapsulated, inside DVB-MPE, but am not 100%…
And I guess that satellite feed was Cidera/SkyCache? I have fond memories stumbling across that while scanning transponders on the Sirius satellite at 5 degress East back then. No encryption whatsoever and it didn't…
Yes, I have received harassment from women when I was younger. And there was very little that could be done about it, people would not take it seriously. That includes being sexually assaulted in high school, it…
It's because the state has the power of force over you, which makes it especially more dangerous than others who don't.
Yes, I was expecting this hotline to do more harm than good. It's not just for people who have problems themselves, it's also a hotline to report those who they care about. It's basically snitching on people because of…
There is no law in the UK making it illegal to possess random data. And I strongly encourage other people to use the "dd" command and create some large random files on their own computer, themselves. It's a perfectly…
Absolutely ridiculous, this signal is coming into your private property, it should never be illegal to receive it. So they are criminalizing monitoring the voltage on a piece of wire (an antenna) in your own property,…
There might be a mandatory reporting requirement, so even if it's unfounded, it still ends up on a NCMEC database. Or that law enforcement is still notified, even if no arrest happens. Anyway it's all completely…
And GitHub has added a new "Report Repository" link on every repo now, and it gave me the creeps that there's a very easy way to report CSAM through it. It's listed right there out of the several types of prohibited…
They only serve us on paper, in reality they end up serving the oligarchs in big business and powerful lobbyists and pressure groups. Some of those pressure groups being front organizations for radical feminists and…
It would come under distribution, because your computer is physically uploading this information to others. So it's being sent in the upstream channel of your Internet connection. And it was an event initiated by the…
Yes, this and the mass surveillance going on, is enough for me to say confidently that we're now living in a police state. That we have severely traded our liberty for supposed safety here. And it's happened slowly over…
No, it only applies to material produced as a type of pornography, for example. I've reworded the post to make it clearer.
Only the murder itself should be illegal. If it's some kind of weird pornography, for example, then the filming and distribution of it could be illegal. If we try to prosecute whether it's viewed for pleasure or not,…
No, absolutely not, the distribution of it should be prosecuted, not people looking at it. Criminalizing looking at things is a throwback from medieval times. And is a hallmark of totalitarianism, a police state. No…
Hopefully it will be just like software piracy, there will be civil disobedience as well, and they will never truly be able to stamp it out. And it raises First Amendment issues as well. I think it's morally wrong to…
