Sounds like you could wardrive with this thing


Server farms, especially ones with tons of GPUs, see little benefit from being in LEO. They cannot radiate heat efficiently, especially this amount of heat. Plus, unless boosted every now and then, they’ll eventually burn up.
How do you fix a hardware issue up there?
None of it adds up on the balance sheet. It makes zero sense to do this in space. The only benefit is hyping up the AI market because space. That benefit won’t last very long in our newscycle.


Downvote me all you want
Ok


It does, I think I’m a bit confused here. I think the apks may be signed with the original key from the previous repo, but that key doesn’t necessarily have to line up with what’s in the GitHub repo since a lot of the repo tasks were removed or changed. I’ll edit my post, but this kind of highlights how messy this handover was, and how confusing it is to users (myself included).
This isn’t something you’d really want to mess with, since typically it has full filesystem access.


The new repo has two releases in it now. These releases are not signed with the original key as far as I can tell. Further, GitHub is silently redirecting to the new repo, even in Obtainium, meaning it’s possible that if you had this previously installed via Obtainium and updated now, you may have unsigned apks installed that may or may not contain the changes in the repo.
This is a mess. I deleted the repo from Obtainium (luckily I don’t auto install updates) and will wait to see what happens over the next few months. Might just save my notes in a network share instead of using syncthing from my phone. Idk, notes are all that I was using it for.


Watch for spicy pillows… they’ll light your stuff on fire.
I thought that was the governor (of Utah), not the mayor of SLC? The lake is (or was) large, with many sources, most of which are outside of SLC’s jurisdiction.


I loved Firewatch’s art style. And story. It was a masterpiece.
As an ex-SLC resident, the mayor and the city doesn’t have that much pull over their sliver of the lake. The state reps and senators are really the ones to blame. They were also the ones that allowed companies to dump heavy metals into the lake which are now being blown into the valley for everyone to breathe.
It’s sad, I have a vivid memory of wading into the water as a child. In the area I went in at, you could walk for miles and the water would only come up to your chest. It was also really easy to float in, and brine shrimp were everywhere. It stunk, but as a kid, I didn’t care about that. It was just cool to be in a super salty lake.


Does running termux all of the time affect battery much?


For real. I’m probably gunna swap over to something else, this is pretty sus.
I think it attributes a lot of things like being depressed from poverty and the state of the world to weed. It’s no surprise that depressed individuals use substances to cope, and it’s also strange that they seem to avoid that. I think not putting smoke into your lungs is healthiest of course, but I think they’re making the wrong correlation here.


I mean, that’s true, yes. The ones on roads (which also exist in my area) are far worse. However, it’s still a huge invasion of privacy that most people have no idea about. Plus, there may not be alternative home improvement stores in certain areas. Lowe’s and Home Depot are the only home improvement stores in my area, and both of those disgusting corps have million dollar contracts with Flock. They’re literally at every location from what I can tell on DeFlock.
ALPRs, especially Flock, are designed for police. They only exist so police can avoid getting warrants to know where you’ve been.


In this specific case, the only people I could contact are Home Depot corporate, and they signed a huge contract ($$$) with Flock. It’s something I’ve thought about though. I really wish Lowe’s and Home Depot weren’t the only home improvement stores in town, as they both have Flock.


Deflock has a great picture-based guide here: https://deflock.me/identify
In the dark, the ALPRs made by flock have a green flow to them. Even in the daylight, though, they are relatively easy to spot once you see one. They’re usually at each entrance of a storefront or on the sides of roads, and typically have their own solar panel.
Once you notice one, you’ll start noticing them everywhere, at least that’s how it worked for me in my area.

If you’re talking about AWS, AWS does much more than just cloud storage.


I prefer my PC off when I’m not using it, that way it’s encrypted.


My local Lowe’s and Home Depot have the only Flock cameras in my county (for now, anyway).
The only real way to do heat transfer in space is through infrared. But that is not very efficient, so most compute in space is managed to reduce heat as much as possible. Data centers, or even just a few 2-4u servers with GPUs produce significantly more heat.
What if the craft is in the sun? Then, you not only have to dump the heat from the onboard servers, but also the sun. These changes are rapid, and not easily managed. Plus, the cold side would still need something to radiate into. Heat does not transfer the same way in a vacuum, even closed loop systems on the ground need air to dump heat into. And these companies don’t even want to use that because it’s not efficient, so they waste our water instead.
Make it make sense.
