Mmmm doughnut holes.

Is this real, what traffic was there to fight in 1975?

You are correct, I mistyped, I was referring to hypersonics.

It should be noted that the Russian kinzal missile is not a true hypersonic, the term hypersonic implies certain technologies beyond just speed and is in fact launched from a plane. It only has a range of 500km and follows a ballistic trajectory (an arc) after launch which makes it easier to track than a missile that uses hypersonic gliding (accelerating in spurts at the edge of orbit to ride earth’s gravity and change its reentry point.)

Depending on the source true hypersonics are either not worth spending any more money developing or impossible to defend against. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I personally believe the latter or they would be going on and on about how good their systems are instead of crowing about shooting down one sub standard system from Russia

I still think excessive nukes are a waste of money. If America trusted its allies it would allow its allies to have a few nukes as well, if everyone had a couple then even if Russia took out all of Americas then it’s allies would just push the button. The threat of mutually assured destruction still remains to keep everyone smiling politely.

its almost impossible to shoot down a supersonic missile, let alone one with countermeasures.

Did you even read the article? None of them are brown or Muslim or blue haired tree huggers. How can they be terrorists?

My concern is that if you’ve got so many that the enemy can’t keep track of them I have concerns that perhaps you can’t keep track of them either.

I never understood why any country needed more than like…20 nukes.

If someone is willing to risk you firing one nuke at them, I don’t think another thousand will detur them.

I’m glad this disgrace is getting some international traction. We have weaker laws around lobbying than the USA which is hard to believe.

I think he means 30meters. miles is mi.

remember Cambridge Analytics? no one else seems to…

I never said i was on the right

setting up a multi platform, secure, free and well built messaging platform that can be adapted to use decentralised networks like LoRa? easy

Getting your friends and family to use it? literally impossible

I appreciate your rant and think your username is very apt.

meanwhile I have mates telling me that googles SSO is the best thing since sliced bread.

well what’s the name for people who don’t think there is a doomsday coming but feel like its not a bad idea to keep a tanks worth of petrol some canned food and a few blocks of water in the garage? I don’t think the internet is going to stop anytime soon either but if it did I’d be able to access Wikipedia, watch a few movies and my security cameras and smart home would still work.

Either you are splitting hairs or do not understand how precarious our way of life is.

Running out of food, water or fuel is not some hypothetical future bad thing. It happens all around the world, sometimes even in western countries.

In Australia we had a fire at one of the gas processing plants in the 90’s and the whole state was without gas (actual Liquid natural gas, for cooking and heating) for almost a month, back then literally everything was run on gas. hot water, ducted heating, ovens, many cars because it was so cheap and plentiful). It seems ridiculous considering we are one of the biggest producers in the world.

You think you are tacking ‘real’ issues with your servers, but to the average user you seem just as crazy as a guy with a basement full of beans and piss jugs, screaming about the government is watching us constantly.

But now we know that they are watching, and pushing people towards specific ideas using social media and many other things we though were just crazy talk.

I’d have a bit more sympathy for the preppers if I was you.

Even if I didn’t run my own DNS, the cache on the local devices would have been enough to let me access things like plex or nextcloud. Or just type the local ip in directly

depends what the bad thing is in your opinion, i guess.

If you mean “losing any semblance of control over the things we need survive (digitally)” then I’d say its the same a prepping.

You can quite comfortably exist in the digital space and access everything you need via others if you want.

Just like you can exist in the real world, using fuel, food, power and other goods and services, supplied by others.

Both scenarios work well right up until they don’t.

I wish he’d start pushing for a reduction in plastic and petrol chemicals…lol

Because if you bring it up they’ll run smear after smear article about you until the gullible public believe you are bad and vote you out.

No one should have been allowed to consolidate that amount of power and unfortunately I can’t see them giving it up any time soon. I fear “democracy” is out of its depth.

without the threat of destitution how will will force people to work shit jobs for shit pay?
