Good, the people on the ground who were affected will probably be compensated for their loss.

That ® statement is about what I’d expect from them. Hyperbole and fearmongering.

Colorado sees you, New Mexico.

Well, if it’s any consolation all of the holes in a network come from the software.

quick edit: I recently got a Microtik router and it’s really cool. I’ve run various open source router/firewall software for decades and I really like the Microtik. I got one that mounted in my wall network rack because that’s fun and it was cheap (old model). It’s only got the 1gbit SFP port but that’s OK, I’m learning the interface they call WinBox and to be honest? I like it better than the command line.

Well, no ALPRs that anyone has clocked yet. The map does not show areas that are or are not checked, yet. They are working on it. You could drive around and look for “Penguin-*” BT devices.

Not illegal to run an ALPR, as evidenced by Flock rolling this shit out nationwide. This video gives you a good look at the current gen, will probably change as they improve.

I got to hit a bigot with, “I have two gender neutral bathrooms in my house.” He sputtered a little and gave the ol’ “bbbut that’s different!”

Flock? They use good cameras but I’m not sure of specs. Those pictures in the article are straight from those cameras. Their magic is in the software, the ALPR plus the “car fingerprint” is what makes them valuable. deflock.me is us watching the watchers. Now… who’s the best shot with a paintball gun?

I just like wardriving, honestly. I like to find radios and see who’s doing what. I like other radios too, I have a GMRS license and Technician license. I did a small stint 25 years ago in a mountain community working with directional wifi, we were using 802.11 and pushing it through line of sight antennas, allegedly at a higher power than 802.11 is supposed to be used. Allegedly. Before I got my mast up I was actually using two 56K modems bonded together using a Sun SPARC lunchbox. Having broadband in that situation at that time was magical.

So yeah, a whole big bunch of “because I can” and I don’t like the current surveillance state so I do what I can to push back.

They need wardrivers. There’s a simple app linked on that site you can run on your phone and it just automatically sends the data, confirming and refining the location of these cameras. If you want to go hunting, this is fun: https://mateslab.weebly.com/bluedriving.html

Heh, I think the line in the news article was something like, “a small boulder the size of a large boulder”. I’m inclined to blame the editor rather than the reporter.

The Treachery of Memes

I wouldn’t try a table saw on one of those steel panels

A country is a military.

I disagree. If you can manufacture it I can try to install it though.

Patagonia is solid. Osprey (packs) recently sold to a conglomerate but I have an old pack I can send in soon to test their “we will repair it no matter what” guarantee.

hah! I went to military boarding high school and the old, OLD dividers were like that, no door. These were so old they were made of that black slate like an old school lab bench. Luckily I spent only one semester doing the “poop with friends” before they installed standard dividers.

… except the recently renovated bathrooms at the Denver Public Library have individual locking shit-shacks with communal sinks. It’s not like junkies avoid the DPL, they have a box of Narcan bolted to the outside of the building.

“nice watch”

Please tell me they dump huge buckets of ice into the troughs at Heathrow.

I think it’s because it’s a modular system that is cost effective, durable and repairable.
