mod6: Happy to provide the 12G log if you want that, or a 
shorter one that shows on 22nd or 23rd my node starting, then getting wedged after 
wave.
 OriansJ: well lets see, we can add a 
short wave radio but that might be blocked with tempest hardware layers

shortwave and FM stations. It is hosted by Lode Ray Dio, a gypsy hustler with a long history of fraud, grifting, and treason. The show is notable for its frequent cancellations, obscene and bizarre content, and a high rate of listener suicide."

 a111: Logged on 2018-06-15 16:47 asciilifeform surveyed what remains of 
shortwave , it's mostly empty, and what remains is largely these derps, 'texas can you hear me' 'this is utah, we can hear you' etc etc

shortwave repeater was in l1 confidence and one day i became l1, i wouldn't see having to keep that secret as a burden.
 a111: Logged on 2018-07-17 02:13 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought of 1 far-conveyor item where i actually had it in my notes 'to be for l1 encyclical only' -- the 
shortwave repeater

 a111: Logged on 2018-05-25 03:16 asciilifeform late evening, listening to elderly ukrs derp on 
shortwave re horror of their neet chillunz derping on ipnojes; where to read re antennae design; putin.
 BingoBoingo: having grandchildren to derp about on 
shortwave takes time.
 l0de: they have the ability to greatly degrade all 
shortwave communications
 l0de: at the point where 
shortwave communications pose an existential threat to usg
 l0de: If 
shortwave was the problem, the USG could render the entire thing unusable with relatively trivial effort
 l0de: additionally 
shortwave is jammable, unreliable, and lossy
 l0de: every single thing happening on 
shortwave is of interest to them
 l0de: 
shortwave is problematic for a lot of reasons
 mircea_popescu: as far as mostly 1 is concerned, there's significant interest in 
shortwave, which is why it's a recurrent thread in the logs.
 l0de: often we're hitting 
shortwave stuff
 a111: Logged on 2017-12-21 18:08 asciilifeform: i'll admit ftr that this item was one of the underlying seekrit crackpotteries behind asciilifeform's interest in 
shortwave a111: Logged on 2017-12-18 01:18 phf: "The l0de radio hour is a long-running live call-in show that irregularly broadcasts over the internet, and to pirate

shortwave radio" "good for them."

shortwave imho far moar realistic, practical, cheap-and-angry. << Undersea cables for most work, run them between cool kids (China/Chile, etc), keep 
shortwave because pantsuit process of "What's they point they fall back to

shortwave! the vga card.
 mircea_popescu is somewhat nonplussed phf sits around "hackerspace" derping with baloons instead of making the 
shortwave-nat-over-other-peoples-cars thing fore instance.
 sina: "To craft a valid packet, a sender must collect a single auth string from the receiving node's lighthouse (via whatever means, can be a 
shortwave tuner), craft auth with it as described by Mircea Popescu earlier, encipher to receiver's RSA pubkey, and send." ?
 Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i've heard you before and i hear you now. i just don't have much hope for extant internet. unreliable-low-bandwidth 
shortwave relay net almost seems like a longer term strategy here, no?
 phf: it's hard to push anything interesting over 
shortwave though, unless you're prepared to do pirate broadcasting, because of crypto. can't broadcast encrypted stuff
 phf: ben_vulpes: that's easy, someone always adds a 
shortwave bridge.
 ben_vulpes: wake me up when they work over 
shortwave ben_vulpes: throw the nic out, we're going to 
shortwave anyways
 mircea_popescu waves. i shall write this 
short i woke up with and read all this!
 ben_vulpes: "gossipd? what dat. have you ever heard of i2p? what's an ethernet frame? 
shortwave?"

 ☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-09-22 12:33 Framedragger: tty wifi dongles, but rather long distance 
shortwaves, etc.)
 Framedragger: yeah i wouldn't transmit encrypted 
shortwaves from usa, that indeed sounds like doom
 Framedragger: 
shortwaves bounce around the ionosphere and all that

 ☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-06-29 16:55 asciilifeform: (and yes you can do blockchain over 
shortwave. after learning this algo, and not before)
 ben_vulpes: what is really at issue here is one's connectivity to the bitcoin network. so yes, power. also, 
shortwave.
 ben_vulpes: but clearly these are all points that only dirigible captains may discuss over hawala 
shortwave.
 ben_vulpes: 
shortwave for the blockchain, solar panels for time-arbitraged electricity, hole of car batteries for storage
