@PawelK @hn100 If they were to ask me why I visit their country, I would respond that it is a beacon of light in a dark place. I avoid the Socialism of the West and Authoritarian governments of the East. I also didn't want to go to Slovenia because no matter how I behave, people will think I went for male bonding.

@PawelK @hn100 It would be fun and I am an American so they would likely not care too much about me bringing in troublesome ideologies and politics. Reason for visit: Research, CZUB and trying to fix Yugos and Ladas.

I suspect the last one is going to be cheaply converting to electric. The death traps are very light and could likely just use deep cycle lead batteries with a forklift electric motor. It adds weight to the bottom of the vehicle and shifts the center of mass lower and towards the center of the vehicle. It's a communist production vehicle so no one would look twice at the petrol powered generator that would be added last moment just like many features of the original design.

@PawelK @hn100 In the past I've reversed, or attempted to reverse, malware that modifies firmware. I documented SE Linux and Samsomething Knux getting bypassed by a row hammer attack. As security increases, the malware becomes more magnificent.

Usually people tell me that it is impressive but they didn't ask, also fix the problems debil.

I'll have to look into it but this time I will need to be more careful of potential pitfalls. I once learned a lesson and it taught me a lot.

Still, jumping in the deep end of a pool is how I learned to swim. Nothing like applying knowledge when and where it is needed. Sorry to my parents if they read this, I was a terror to raise.

@PawelK @hn100 Czechia would be nice. CZUB definitely has experience with taking existing designs and improving them. It would be interesting to get in contact with a University there.

Ruskies and Ukrainians were really based in reversing. Je to škoda, že lidé kontrolu politiků.

@PawelK @hn100 Yes, Assignment 1-5 is getting Ghidra to compile from source.

@PawelK I miss being in a University lab. There was no wrong, only getting caught which was easy to avoid.

@Breaking911 There's definitely a correlation between people who put stickers on firearms and people who go on to do bad things.

@PawelK I haven't been on in a while. My country ran out of Adderall and I couldn't get my prescription. Sometimes I wonder if much of it accidentally ended up in Ukraine.

@thor I think it's for safety or security in some buildings.

@thor It's a better idea for internet access than satellites.

@thendrix It could have thermally decomposed to Chlorine and there is a good example of knowing when to walk away.

In Chemistry Labs where Fluorine gas is used, there's a very small period of time to remove the energy from the reaction. The building will be allowed to burn to the ground because nothing will extinguish an oxidizer that will likely burn asbestos.

If the Chlorine didn't react at the source, it would react elsewhere. Hydrogen and Chlorine react in darkness to make HCL but in UV light they react explosively to make HCL. Just letting it burn could have been the safest option. It will catch moisture in the air surrounding the area.

@Djeep Hydrogen Chloride turns into Hydrochloric Acid on contact with water. This is not looking good at all.

@thendrix The one during the summer was due to thermal expansion which can be detected because they send signals through the tracks. The contraction from the cold after a hot summer could have shifted the rails. Despite the signaling and forewarning, a train derailed. Something smells fishy. There should have been alarms going off on the train and at the stations.

@thor Or in one of the weird Twitter denialism cult servers.
