Yup. A variation of the quote (basically capitalists instead of American businessmen) is commonly attributed to Lenin instead of Khrushchev. But that, too, can't be verified and is said to be fake.
Instead of waiting for a zombie fungus to evolve into something that can infect humans, they decided to cut out the middleman and made cyborg mushrooms.
Buying a domain. There might be some free services that, similar to DuckDNS in the beginning, work reliably for now. But IMHO they are not worth the potential headaches.
DuckDNS pretty often has problems and fails to propagate properly. It's not very good, especially with frequent IP changes.
Random guy with no affiliation to crypto and only a vague understanding of monero from another instance here, who saw the post on /all.
Most people stumbling over posts like this probably see yet another shady cryptocurrency and aren't interested or even actively dislike it, resulting in downvotes. Calling people "grudgeful bitfags" and "overly-sensitive leftist fediverse dwellers" probably doesn't help all that much either, neither do comments that attribute a general disinterest to a "very successful psyop by the CIA to make crypto look like a scam".
Damn, that's wild. Cheers for sharing!
I have an understanding of the underlying concepts. I'm mostly interested in the war driving. War driving, at least in my understanding, implies that someone, a state agency in this case, physically went to the very specific location of the suspect, penetrated their (wireless) network and therefore executed a successful traffic correlation attack.
I'm interested in how they got their suspects narrowed down that drastically in the first place. Traffic correlation attacks, at least in my experience, usually happen in a WAN context, not LAN, for example with the help of ISPs.
Sounds interesting, got any links for further reading on that?
I can't quite connect the dots between wifi/internet traffic spikes when IRC is so light on traffic that it's basically background noise and war driving.
Nice message, but the thought of the existence of a competitive scene of contractors specializing in mounting TVs is hilarious. Also, that mounting plate is crooked af.
Great points.
Regular solar cells with better efficiency are already are thing, even in a compact travel format or as a novelty part of some electric cars. Those are cheap to produce, but still aren't practical at all, unless we're talking about something like a 2m² solar panel to charge a phone in a somewhat reasonable time on a very sunny day in an off-grid situation.
Using transparent solar cells additionally to regular ones in buildings instead of windows is pretty much the only reasonable application I can think of right now, but with a visible transmittance of 20% that's kinda farfetched as well.
