more than a few actors may (likely?) have very low yield devices. only takes a few to panic people and governments into stupid actions.

…and this ensures it will happen again. with greater magnitude. the machine needs more meat.

I am so so so expecting a nuclear exchange in or around the middle east witin 12 months - possibly after a “dirty nuke” attempt somewhere.

I am clutching at straws to even excuse this out of my top 3 worst case black swans.

only positive news is that nuclear winter will sure fix up that global warming thing real good.

exactly what the us allows them to do. I can only guess that kind old uncle sam has been feeding its billions in war change to israel for reasons more compelling than mere genocide (but that would suffice for some). a middle east ground “incursion” may be it.

because nothing could possibly go wrong with this. nothing at all.

this resonates so much…

“ok, which one of you crackheads decided an unconstrained recursive C function was a good idea right her… oh.”

If you’re skeptical that this feat is possible with a raw 4004, you’re right: The 4004 itself is far too limited to run Linux directly. Instead, Grinberg created a solution that is equally impressive: an emulator that runs on the 4004 and emulates a MIPS R3000 processor—the architecture used in the DECstation 2100 workstation that Linux was originally ported to. This emulator, along with minimal hardware emulation, allows a stripped-down Debian Linux to boot to a command prompt.

that is 2^8 levels of insane! and of course its Debian.

edit: 4bit data 12bit addressing make it an 8bit processor ; -)

I will slowly corrode on this hill.

just when you are sure this article is going to fluff out on you, it doesn’t.

But how does AI tell when someone is most likely lying? They’re smiling like an American.

I was oddly surprised at how I connected with this article. a useful read in a defining epoch.

branding is important, yo!

these days old onion articles are prophecy and new onion articles cant even give me a raised eyebrow.

this is/does both.

as a followup to how useful your visualization is, I have started spreading comments across a wider selection of instance communities.

this is something I have considered before, but your visulazation made the possible utility and usefulness of doing so much more “real”.

someone genuinely interested for intellectual reasons would likely not fall for it. I would imagine that a non-trivial percentage of “antiquity enjoyers” are very light on history substance and heavy on history feelz.

once the appropriate brain tickles have been pushed into their heads their “history substance” feed content becomes decidedly propagandized.

this is really, really interesting. thank you for this.

instance reach and relationships are pretty wild and I can see this helping people to mix up their communities between instances.

the tight groupings of some instance communities might be source of pride or distress, depending.

would be nice to select a community and query its n closest overlap neighbors or all neighbors within a certain distance.

very cool project.

asm? ha! back in my day we were hammering ones and zeros into clay tablets.

no worries.

the net effect of client separation is that your device sees no other layer 2 devices on the wlan besides the gateway. this would typically be enforced at the frame level by the APs and is separate from any radio privacy cryptography.

a properly configured wireless setup would assume every client is compromised and would also disallow local client-client via source routing or proxy ARP or any other escape options. 100% secure? probably not, but its a non trivial barrier that would have to be circumvented.

as with e.g. broken WEP years ago, there are still options to mess with clients at ~Layer 1 but I dont believe its currently as trivial as it used to be.

most properly configured public wifi will enable client separation, of course that potentially still leaves lower level protocol and radio attacks.

that thing you do when you are absolutely, positively, without a doubt, 100% sure you can fuck shit up even more.

…that wireless mac is looking suspiciously shopped and non-existent.

I would say yes. I have never used a pure sinewave UPS outside of a data center situation and all of those are on-line units as opposed to line-interactive anyway. I have personally never seen an issue with stepped sine UPS units on typical pro/consumer workloads.

lots of small and mid sized shoestring budget deployments make use of “economical” (but name brand) UPS units on legit sensitive equipment without fuss.

edit to add: of course, if your mains supply is absolute garbage, then a better quality can make a difference. if utility is clean and the UPS will just be doing ocassional brown/black out duty, then I would not spend more on a sinewave UPS.

performance metrics for power supplies (a PSU as opposed to a UPS) are calculated using the regional AC sine. anything other than a pure sine is going to make the connected PSU work harder and, eventually, marginal components may fail.

having said that, stepped square, modified square, simulated sine are generally going to be perfectly fine for virtually any consumer equipment you connect to it.

cyberpower make cheap (but halfway decent) UPS units. I have used both APC and cyberpower for years without issue.
