2 days agoI’ve got a huge soft spot for OpenRC, my first experience with Linux was installing Gentoo on a junker PC i’d patched together from scavenged parts in like 2007. I actually worked from a printed out version of the handbook >.<

6·2 days agoThis is mostly a nothing burger. AIS has basically zero validation built in. I’m not sure where the article is sourcing its data from, but it’s probably an open source ship tracking site.
AIS datagrams aren’t encrypted, so you can make one with any ship ID and location data you want, then create a station account on one of the open trackers and inject it.
Alternatively, you could get a cheap SDR dongle and broadcast your spoofed messages to a nearby station and let them upload it. It’s been a while since played around with SDR, but you could probably get everything you need for around $200. You’d almost certainly be breaking licensing laws doing this, for what that’s worth.
Edited to add: Looks like this article is using kpler.com, where you can sign up to be a receiver station and feed them data.
8·2 days agoThat’s one the most insanely stupid things I’ve ever heard. Tokens are a tool used to do your job, a business expense, not fucking compensation.
Are the kWh that you use to light and air condition an office part of your compensation? How about toner and paper in the office printer?
If those tokens are a bonus, they’re yours, right? So you can burn half your annual salary worth of tokens translating Microsoft Encarta 95 into Klingon, and they will foot the bill?
I mean, you haven’t NOT been in missile range since the 60s, that’s when the Soviets really got their ICBMs online. Don’t need to put missiles in Cuba if they got the range to launch the from home.
We just stopped CAREING about being in range once it got to the point that we couldn’t actually do anything about it
ooh! ooh! Can we restart the systemd wars??
2·4 days agoScattered smothered covered chunked and topped!
3·8 days agoAlso, fun fact! We decommissioned our minesweeper fleet in the Gulf, the last of them were shipped out from Bahrain in January. You know, just weeks before we started a damn naval war. All we got now is some equipment bolted onto repurposed LCS…
The problem with the ‘declare victory and leave’ is that the enemy gets a vote. Even if shitler pulled forces back, Iran ain’t got no reason to stop shooting tankers now.
Also… Do we just have two carrier groups trapped in the Gulf now? Guess our navy is just gonna have to ‘man up’ like he told the tankers to? That could get real spicy REAL quick.
4·1 month agoExcept US politics is gonna burn the world down, we all in this shitshow together…
Thomas Midgley Jr. fucked the entire world
Ohhh that looks slick! Gonna have to keep that in mind if I ever have to do a rebuild
Fuck em if they don’t want my money
House is NOT the same without Massive Attack
The *arr stack truly is fully automatic luxury gay space communism!
True, what I was getting at is that AIS alone doesn’t prove that there is even any ship at all.
