@inference How do you feel?

It seems like I need to make a change in my tools if I am going to have any success in my projects. I was hoping that I would never need to go this route but I think it's called for now.

It's not optimal at all and I'd rather have a useable device the same as it was from the store. Enter different controllers, protocols and interfaces if needed. If the controllers aren't IP then the protocol is IP and maybe both of the above with the interface being IP.

At least it won't be challenged. Refuse to play their game. I'm going to revisit some former projects and see how valid they could be. I'm not above using a scalpel on traces or removing components. It's time to check them again.

@thor It used to be seen as a miracle without many downsides. It's disturbing how bad these chemicals turned out to be.

I'm pretty sure that cotton was still treated heavily and bleached.

@PawelK It's not difficult to track down a signal that strong. If they are jamming satellites then those jammers are going to be easier to find. Probably under guard in a secured area. They likely have their own power but perhaps not. They might be able to be damaged with an electrical surge.

@thor Android also moved away from the one thing that Java did well on every platform. Android had to change the GUI portions and mess up the language to the point where it was far more complicated than it should have been.

Dalvik was a huge leap forward for efficiency and performance. They removed a feature that made Java worth learning to implement flashy graphics and then made it more efficient. Why not use a better language?

This is one of the few compliments I will give Apple. Their version of C and use on all platforms was more effective and made it better to develop for. That is if one already had Apple products, development experience and a developer account.

@PawelK One thing that would help in that situation is a well structured meshnet and optical connections to the US. It's similar to point to point radio but with lasers. Easy to set up, tear down or move. Enough links could be constructed to have some basic access. Government equipment would be scanning for radio waves.

Existing infrastructure could be piggybacked or cables buried and sent to different locations to make the links more difficult to find. The meshnet could be propagated with inexpensive devices that might not need to connect outside the country. Easy to deal with losses and relatively easy to keep authorities guessing.

It wouldn't work forever but the resources needed to track down all of the new sources would make it more likely that they wouldn't be able to keep them all knocked out.

The cool processors that one might be able to find in China.

Sunway
OpenSparc variants
Loongson
MIPS variants
RISC-V variants
Hybrid designs and mutant cores

China has some really cool designs.

@igelsQTs A converted chest rig with two flashbang pouches, aid kit, mag pouch and utility pouch. I think that's what they are. It's a different style than what I'm used to seeing.

I'm not a fan of this work but the NSA likely monitors this IRT and has for decades. This is more confusing than it is infuriating. Trusting some AI system that the NSA could easily trip up and security experts that TAO could easily outperform and watch the analysis live.

I don't trust the intentions but I certainly do not trust whatever results are discovered without the NSA in charge.

That's all I have to say about this.

DARPA wants to see how well Open Source Code can be trusted.

Have you ever met the people who write important portions of what you want to play with?

I think I'm having another allergic reaction. It was getting difficult to breathe earlier and I was really itchy. It took me a moment to realize what was going on.

I don't like Diphenhydramine but it's a life saver. Maybe I should talk to a professional about my response to alarming symptoms. It's more of I might die today than feeling scared or happy. Don't fear the reaper.

@lupyuen From what I've experienced with Guix, it's quite impressive. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is.

@thendrix braided cable and pulleys.

@gav @igelsQTs One of the very few bullpup rifles to not be absolute trash. The FAMAS is the other. Cool idea but bad handling and many more problems.

@awl @igelsQTs @gav There were relations between the two royal families. I remember that somehow.
