@sundogplanets and for what? I did some napkin math some time ago: all these satellites cost around 10-15B usd to deploy. This would be equivalent of 0.5 - 1 million cell towers at 10-20k usd (yeah that cheap). There are currently 7 million cell towers worldwide most of which are old and under-performing. With 1 million NEW cell towers with economies of scale we could have probably covered the same actual reach with better latency, access and affordability. Low orbit internet is a joke.

@pojntfx@mastodon.social these are my favorite but as long as we don't put people on notes I'm happy either way. I though we moved past this nonsense?

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange These people are _addicts_. I follow Hank Green who's a famous youtube science educator and he's clearly addicted to twitter and social media addiction is real. x.com needs to be shutdown from the outside like an opium den would be.

rainy season started and the wild bees in my garden took off and left this. I think the tree they expected to cover them from rain didn't really do that good of a job 😁

@mattly@hachyderm.io this is a bad take. There are plenty of ethical proxies and proxies need to be protected to safeguard our online freedoms. IP addresses are already used incorrectly as identification which ipv4 is fundamentally incapable of due to limited address pool making people share same 'indentity" and ipv6 adoption is artificially limited because it's harder to use for tracking so residential proxies are important in this ecosystem to get around IP identity based censorship.

@david_chisnall@infosec.exchange I think you might be underestimating the value here. Just with "matching solved problems with existing solutions" in it's own right is the greatest invention of the century. Most problems have existing solutions - choosing the right one and applying it is like 99% of all work we do. This is actually a good thing as it leaves creative edge pushing solutions for us and have LLM tools do the "boring" matching - is it not?

@signalapp@mastodon.world next step - enable Settings → Account → Registration Lock by default. Without it you don't own your signal account and all of this "safety" and "privacy" talk is pointless.

@maccruiskeen @Brokar @sundogplanets you mean using satellites as weapons? that seems a bit unlikely but clearly Ukraine has shown how powerful low-orbit internet is as utility for weapons so I meant more of that regard. For that, you do need a lot of them for good coverage and they have limited lifespan + need a large backup overhead.

@briankrebs@infosec.exchange if you look around there are dedicated services that rent out a bot net so you can take down harmful ads and they actually do more vetting for your use case than Meta does for launching the ad. It's crazy how Meta is not being straight up broken down right now. The meta ad market in Thailand is like 50% scams and I've been reporting the same ads for the better part of this year.

@marmarta inkscape can do that quite reliably. There are edge align options in the align menu and if you turn on snapping you can just drag your squares next to each other. Inkscape is really good!

@iro_miya and some older devices still fail to charge because of different power delivery profiles 🙄 The power negotiation of usb c is both black magic and also a frustrating kick in the balls. Breaks when you need it the most too.
