My favorite fun fact about the US military is that some old Navy FLTSATCOM satellites have been abused by Brazilians as free CB radio relays, e.g. by truckers to chat on the road.

These vintage 1980s satellites are nothing more than analog linear amplifiers without any authentication. It's open to everyone as long as long you can point an antenna at it, with a RF mixer at the right frequency. The military can't do anything. This audio recording is absolutely hilarious:

To many of us it was clear that the Twitter files revealed a more systemic problem, and this breaking news goes to show just that.

"Inside the Facebook Files: Emails Reveal the CDC's Role in Silencing COVID-19 Dissent"

is there a foss clone of report-uri.com that i can selfhost?

but as Canada Bill Jones said, "It's immoral to let a sucker keep his money."

imagine believing russia would lose a land war

twitter blue is not available if your phone number carrier is protected by hardware 2FA, only if you use a phone number from a mobile carrier that lets you get sim swapped.

anyone know an rtmp switcher/muxer that will play files shuffled or whatever from a media directory and stream RTMP out but then will accept an RTMP stream in to override, without dropping the outbound RTMP stream when the override stream starts/stops?

basically i want to stream 24/7 from a directory, but be able to cut in live and not have the stream stop/start. how do?

everyone seems to think that my post says that apple is *remotely* scanning your files. it's happening on-device, via a process that speaks to the network. there's no indication what that process is sending or receiving to apple, and i haven't REd it yet to find out.

new battlestation configuration is making some progress

if you highlight text in a mail message in macOS mail.app and right-click it, there is a context menu item that says "search with Google". it always opens safari regardless of what default browser you have chosen. i reported this to apple more than 2 years ago and they haven't fixed it.
