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.

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"

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
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
ben_vulpes: anyways an entirely viable future is one wherein the various lords with computing gear remaining in the closet operate their own bitcoind variants as local banks, holding chits for the peasants and reconciling over
shortwave gpggram
decimation: to the point that they can effectively jam
shortwave for miles
decimation: I find
shortwave to be more interesting
assbot: Logged on 28-07-2015 12:22:21; jurov: there's a nutjob apocalyptic-prepper
shortwave station, with 5-euro receivers widely available they seem to get some audience
decimation: and jurov is right, there are plenty of fairly successful
shortwave pirates, apparently because nobody gives a fuck
