@PawelK One thing that would help in that situation is a well structured meshnet and optical connections to the US. It's similar to point to point radio but with lasers. Easy to set up, tear down or move. Enough links could be constructed to have some basic access. Government equipment would be scanning for radio waves.

Existing infrastructure could be piggybacked or cables buried and sent to different locations to make the links more difficult to find. The meshnet could be propagated with inexpensive devices that might not need to connect outside the country. Easy to deal with losses and relatively easy to keep authorities guessing.

It wouldn't work forever but the resources needed to track down all of the new sources would make it more likely that they wouldn't be able to keep them all knocked out.

The cool processors that one might be able to find in China.

Sunway
OpenSparc variants
Loongson
MIPS variants
RISC-V variants
Hybrid designs and mutant cores

China has some really cool designs.

@igelsQTs A converted chest rig with two flashbang pouches, aid kit, mag pouch and utility pouch. I think that's what they are. It's a different style than what I'm used to seeing.

I'm not a fan of this work but the NSA likely monitors this IRT and has for decades. This is more confusing than it is infuriating. Trusting some AI system that the NSA could easily trip up and security experts that TAO could easily outperform and watch the analysis live.

I don't trust the intentions but I certainly do not trust whatever results are discovered without the NSA in charge.

That's all I have to say about this.

I think I'm having another allergic reaction. It was getting difficult to breathe earlier and I was really itchy. It took me a moment to realize what was going on.

I don't like Diphenhydramine but it's a life saver. Maybe I should talk to a professional about my response to alarming symptoms. It's more of I might die today than feeling scared or happy. Don't fear the reaper.

@lupyuen From what I've experienced with Guix, it's quite impressive. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is.

@gav @igelsQTs One of the very few bullpup rifles to not be absolute trash. The FAMAS is the other. Cool idea but bad handling and many more problems.

@awl @igelsQTs @gav There were relations between the two royal families. I remember that somehow.

@igelsQTs @gav I hope many tools are made there. I love German tools and Swiss precision.

@igelsQTs @gav The US and Russia opposed the Treaty of Versailles. No one would listen. A third world nation and a failing nation weren't going to be relevant in the future anyway.

@gav @igelsQTs How much I didn't want to say anything about the people who made the Steyr AUG.

@igelsQTs @gav I mean BMW makes them essentially German. Autobahn, Nuremberg and being prized by Eastern European criminals is the definition of a German Vehicle.

@igelsQTs No one wants to acknowledge that it exists or poses a threat.

Something similar happened in the US about a decade ago when office workers found a hidden supply closet that got painted over decades before. The office workers found a box from the USSR and one worker could read Russian because they ordered a lockdown. They were live virus samples of Smallpox that got lost at the CDC.
