Known VPN services have identifiable server addresses that can be blocked. Instead, you can set up a cheap raspberry pi (or other) at your home and use an encrypted SSH connection to that [raspberry pi] from far away. Then turn on your SOCKS proxy (part of WiFi Details on Macintosh) and check to see that your IP address shows to the world you access as that of your raspberry pi. I do this all the time, including right now. It also helps to watch sports events.

Thanks.

You aren't talking about multiple theaters, theater just means one location. Jamming is occurring in one location. You can just spoof or jam signals for all the various GPS systems in one location.

It doesn't matter if the ground stations for GPS are located in 1 location, Glonas in a different one & Galileo in a 3rd. They all have satellites overhead globally & the signals are in very nearby bands. You just have to blast out a jamming or spoofing signal in the target area & you affect all of them in that region.

So how does NFTs make this any better than what goes on now that permit in game trading? They usse a back end database tied to the game as you trade or sell your virtual items. NFTs provide 0 value over a traditional database in this case (as with almost every case), along with the standard problems with "crypto". How can you "open up new markets" when everything is tied to a single game & the whims of a developer? The NFTs or items have 0 value outside of the game. "Crypto" means power wasting overhead, ease of loosing things & a million other problems. There is no decentralized control that everybody keeps touting. It's all still Ubisoft in the end controlling everything. They just coat the same old system that's been around forever with a new layer of buzzword crap & suckers go nuts for it.

Ya, pretty sure this is a case of trying to thread a needle on doing what's right, what's required by international sanctions & not knowing how to define things. More literal fog of war vs malicious intent or lack of support for Ukraine.

Identical headlines showed up in Slashdot & Betanews on my RSS feed within a few minutes of each other. Some PR outfit is earning their keep while "editors" are not. I was just perusing my feed & sadly wondering how much of that content was thinly veiled sponsored content already.

You might have missed that Musk made the same claim about 2016, with the 1-camera sensor system. The 2017 claim was with the newer 8-camera system, and the claim was made before Tesla even had software for the new sensors, and the Tesla then lacked adaptive cruise control, adaptive high beam, self parking, summon, and other things that the prior model did have. I'm embarrassed that I actually believed these claims.

The point of the quarantines isn't to stop people from getting the virus. It's to stop everybody from getting it all at once.

Our medical system can handle most complications most of the time. But if everybody or a large part of the population shows up in the ER at once with COVID19 problems a large number of those easily treated complications will get triaged & some of those people will die. It doesn't even need to be COVID19. If you have a heart attack & every doctor is busy with COVID19 patients, there is a good chance you will not get any or appropriate care.

If medical systems are merely really really busy rather than swamped & overwhelmed more people live. Really busy for months is good, overwhelmed for a month is not. Quarantining is a way to stretch things out so the medical system can handle things over time.

I am careful in all such interviews to say that Facebook is fine for anyone who likes it, for whom the plusses outweigh any minuses. I state that it's just wrong for me, myself, or others like myself. How can I not be "right" about that?

At least Tesla respects our right to die in our sleep.

And how is somebody suppose to know that they should use GPG & a 4096 bit key? From somebody on Slashdot? Typically for any institutional process standards are created & enforced. For the government that standards body is usually NIST. Those standards are the way to officially introduce the honorable gentleman from Oregon & his staff to GPG or whatever is deemed appropriate.

That kind of violates 2 legal requirements for amateur radio... The FCC regulations for amateur radio, part 97 specifies amateur (HAM) radio must be Non-commercial & encrypted. Sending money is inherently commercial which is prohibited on amateur frequencies & is pretty clearly a violation. Encryption vs signing arguments could be made, but it's a bit murky at best.

Section 97.113 (4) “messages in codes or ciphers intended to obscure the meaning thereof, except as otherwise provided herein”

Part 97.3 (4):

(4) Amateur service. A radiocommunication service for the purpose of self-training, intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by amateurs, that is, duly authorized persons interested in radio technique solely with a personal aim and without pecuniary interest.

Part 97.113 (3) about explicitly prohibited activities:
(2) Communications for hire or for material compensation, direct or indirect, paid or promised, except as otherwise provided in these rules;

All data traffic on that SSID still has the SSID name attached. Disabling SSID broadcast just means packets with the SSID name in them aren't beaconed constantly & only occur when traffic traverses that network. It's trivial to sniff still & is likely to still get logged by most WiFi sniffers & geolocation systems.

Interesting how DEFcon doesn't start for a week & a half... And the date on this post is from July 2017. Way to go Slashdot editors.

DEFcon will be running the Voting Machine Hacking village again this year. I fully expect they will be owning as many machines as quickly as they did a year ago. But it hasn't happened yet this year.
