I wonder how these investigations go? Are they just asking them if it is true? Are they working with IT specialist to technically analyze the apps? Are they requesting the source code that can be demonstrated to be the same one that runs on the user devices and then analyze that code?

Multiple governments will already know as they have analyzed and reverse engineered it.

How is Ukraine doing this? I suppose Starlink isn't available to everyone.
RenThraysk · a month ago
There are a few videos of various Ukraine Telecoms talking about how they're keeping themselves connected.

Would be interesting to see the DDL of the table, to see if it had unique constraints.

The query not utilising an unique constraint/index should have raised a red flag.

Wormhole can be run in the browser easily.
RenThraysk · 3 months ago
Yep https://webwormhole.com/

Just needs a WebRTC capable browser.

One thing I would like is a small portable hdmi display to use with my headless servers when they fail to boot. Even better would show screen over network.

Unfortunately the government is winning, Apple’s ADP encryption is no longer available in the UK. The Online Safety Act was finally forced through after over 10 years.

They’ll eventually get what they want in any case the same way a chisel can eventually dig through a mountain.

There is no winning. It's an infinite game of whackamole.

There are a lot of extra steps the UK government can take beyond the fines:

> In the most extreme cases, with the agreement of the courts, Ofcom will be able to require payment providers, advertisers and internet service providers to stop working with a site, preventing it from generating money or being accessed from the UK.

They’ve done this before (various piracy websites are blocked by ISPs).

The criminal liability of senior managers could cause travel headaches too.

RenThraysk · 6 months ago
OFCOM is powerless. ISP blocks are worthless.

This is going to fizzle out, like the Australian eSafety team trying to remove content off X globally.

Or get Apple to poke holes in it's crypto. Just not going to happen.

I don't really disagree with you, but to play devil's advocate - when you see something that you think is harmful to society, what determines whether or not it's moral and appropriate to advocate for and work towards its abolition in what you see as the best interest of everyone?

Is "Don't like X? Don't buy it" as far as we should go with... AI-produced child porn? Rolling coal and other egregious pollution? Online gambling? Abortion? Fentanyl?

It's not what, it's how is the problem.

Side stepping local country government, and applying pressure to payment processors to enforce your own rules globally should not be able to happen. Even a government should not be able to dictate what other countries do.

FWIW, I've found a T-1000e to be a pretty good way to get people into meshtastic. It's not perfect because it has a weird dongle to charge, but it's pretty cool and I think you can convince people it's a worthwhile thing for emergency recovery.

Heltec MeshPocket is another. A powerbank and LoRa device.

You need to read a bit more on autonomous systems and navigation, it will surely tame your hubris. Everything is simple if you don't understand it.
RenThraysk · 8 months ago
You have never written autonomous navigation systems.
