Comment Re:Numbers stations (Score 2) 20

The only way it could make sense is if you use the broadcast data against a one-time pad and then you have a key to decrypt some other data, however distributed.

There aren't enough unique messages to be the data payload itself. Regular key rotation makes some sense.

Instead of a key it could be a pointer to another data source too. Frequency, satellite channel, URL, whatever.

It does seem premature to conclude the content. No doubt there are many other possibilities.

Comment Re: ISS was a mistake born of wishful thinking. (Score 3, Insightful) 43

Oh please get your head out of your ass, the west is just as much responsible for the war in Ukraine as Russia is.

Russia and Russia alone is responsible for their war of genocide and conquest against Ukraine. Here is one of my all time favorite clips from the Russians on the Ukraine war. Not even the Indians who DGAF were buying his nonsense. Also listen to what horse face says about cooperation with the west.

To this day Russians continue to push absurd it wasn't us, we didn't start it propaganda. Occasionally you get people in the west dumb enough to fall for it... CTR biolabs, Donbas, NATO, Victoria Nuland... ad nausea.

Why deorbit the station at all, why not reuse parts of it with newer stations or sent it to towards the moon. Or just keep it as a rescue haven. Getting new stations up there will be easier when vehicles like Starship are ready, but for now we need more stations up there. And instead of banning everything russian try to cooperate more, hostility doesn't work.

I disagree, ISS is scheduled for termination in four years anyway. Russians waging wars of conquest against other sovereign states who have done nothing to provoke invasion is a good enough reason not to cooperate or help them in any way until they stop. There is no practical means of salvaging parts of the station and it can't be operated by either the Russians or the Americans alone.

A Scout is Trustworthy but this BSA has never demonstrated that virtue.

Their PR is difficult to parse as valid English but it sounds like gaslighting of the type "you can only trust what you may not examine."

It sounds incoherent but perhaps that means they have nothing else left.

Most people in Open Source are generally Helpful.

Correct. Yes, I'm bitter. I'm not directly accusing you or anyone else in the thread of being a Communist. I don't really recognize you and most of the others besides dfghjk are ACs.

Now, dfghjk is a TDS guy who posts standard anti-Trump rhetoric 9-out-of-10 times. I don't know if he's a Communist or a different brand of far-Left person. I do know that as son as he gets any pushback whatsoever he simply reaches straight for ad hominem and never wins any debates that I've seen on Slashdot.

Reading something political into this thread other than the fact of someone having used the word "authoritarianism" is all on you.

Nope. It's factual and based on the extreme left-leaning politics shown by both the operators and their pet mods on Slashdot. If you choose to be in denial about that let's just leave the adjudication to the readers, eh?
