Oh, so they have a system that’s controlled by the Trump administration that will get to choose who is or is not allowed to vote on election day.

What could possibly go wrong?

Haha, props to whoever did that.

I did the same thing. The one about ‘gifts for people who don’t trust the government’ is what got me when someone posted it here or in c/privacy. I’m glad I could pass it along!

I like his viewpoint, he always has interesting projects and his music background adds a nice little touch to the production values of his content.

Based on the press, I’d say inventing an award and making a small gold trinket gift will cover you for at least a year.

That’s how we know that Tim Apple’s knees are not as sturdy as some of the other CEOs

Error: Insufficient Hard Drive Space to download file.

I had a similar experience, playing with a spectrum analyzer connected to the SDR and the first signals that I ‘found’ were the WFM broadcasts and celebrated by listening to the radio for a few hours.

In hindsight, I didn’t realize how much the antenna size and just happened to have the right length antenna to get good WFM coverage.

Imagine describing somefile that you were downloading, like lemmy.zip and having it linkified because that’s technically a valid web address.

Well, I wouldn’t suggest doing crimes to physically break them, but you can break their little AI brains with a bit of adversarial noise and someone with a printer that can print on some sort of clear backing.

I have a few Amcrest cameras and they’re pretty decent as well. Outdoor rated, PoE, 4k, UV LEDs, they have PTZ variants too and offer standard RTSP streams without any kind of vendor software hassle.

Running a local NVR with some image segmentation and classification models is goodbut also consider adding a bit of Kismet and SDR trickery. Having a bit more awareness is always useful and the radio spectrum is increasingly full of useful information that can be relevant to home security.

Most people are also radio beacons of some form or another due to their tech/car/flipper zero and being able to detect things like modern cars, people wearing bluetooth earbuds, wifi deauthentication attacks or new radio sources which could indicate some kind of hostile surveillance or tracking… those are all useful and relatively simple things to monitor. With a bit more money you could make some good estimates about the location and relative motion of these sources.

You could also add some cheap SDRs and listen to your local county’s dispatch trunking system. This is perfectly legal, it’s all broadcast in the clear. CB users and scanner owners used to do this but it became harder once they switched to trunking systems because you required some kind of processor to navigate the trunking protocol. Now you can do the same thing with 2 cheap RTL-SDRs and some open source software: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9KJrtIO8_4 Language models reading transcripts of these could alert you to any major events near you, like a traffic accident (or active shooting, USA! USA! USA!).

Obviously this is a bit more involved than ‘Press buy button on Amazon, login to camera, glue to wall.’, but the end product that you can create is better than anything that you can buy as a commercial product.

My friend, have you heard of Flock cameras?

removing agents depends partly on if “agitators” behave as the administration sees fit.

More tacit admissions that this isn’t remotely about immigration, but about punishing the cities containing political opponents.

Now, for music do mpd and control it ncmpcpp

Anyone can control their music streaming on their phone with an app, only the true Linux users (Arch users, btw) can control their music streaming via ssh.

As a CEO it is easy to compete when your competition is suffering from tariffs and all you’re suffering from is sore knees and a bad taste in your mouth.

People deploying these systems are just hoping that Prompt injection attacks won’t happen.

They could design systems that would be resistant, but the only thing that matters now is deploying new software… not creating actual security or sustainable systems.

Unless you’re (not you PhoenixDog specifically, the general You referring to the reader) blocking your browser fingerprinting, using Ad blocker, DNS filtering from trusted sources, not using social media app, not installing apps that require Google Play Services and not using your credit card for digital payments then simply changing the IP address that the server sees doesn’t do very much.

VPNs can be part of a solution but if you are not doing all of the other things then they do not hide who you are because of the plethora of other avenues that you can be tied to an existing advertising identity.

These pretexts they give are completely unnecessary.

Literally everybody with a working brain that is paying attention understands the optics of this is that Gallup is bending the knee and paying the toll so that Trump doesn’t attack them with the Executive Branch.
