Reply to Pentagon imposed emergency shutdown of computer network handling classified material by Rambler
The system, known as the Secret Internet Protocol Router Network, handles classified information, up to the secret level, and was shuttered for several hours.
"This has never happened in the middle of a work day," one Pentagon official said. "Updates usually are done on weekends and after hours late at night. This was done on an emergency basis."
The shutdown applied only to computers handling the classified material, and was not imposed on other computers or on phone systems.

All these issues lately have me thinking foul play.

I can't say I'm surprised with this due to all the problems PH have had the past few weeks.

Thats why you download the videos you like (porn or otherwise). Save bandwidth and just nice to have a copy.

as part of a crackdown on user-uploaded content after two major payment processors suspended service.
Thats all you need to know.
“This means every piece of Pornhub content is from verified uploaders, a requirement that platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat and Twitter have yet to institute,”
Are they advocating that non-porn social media require proof of identity to register? That's dumb.
Pornhub appears to have wiped out more than 10 million videos as of this writing.
That's a lot of quality content.

Considering Google went dark globally today, I'd say the test went well.

Reply to comment by trevor in Google Cloud (over)Run: How a free trial experiment ended with a $72,000 bill overnight by Rambler
True. I think most people would be filing bankruptcy if hit with an unexpected $72,000 bill.
I guess the lesson learned is that if you're going to sign up for a free trial that requires a credit card, use a pre-paid VISA or use something like a privacy.com (or similar site) virtual card so you can set the maximum limit.

At least it ended in a happy way. Though it's still Google's fault in the first place for allowing the bill to get that high.

Well yeah, real AI won't exist for a while. But we do have this, so saying that AI doesn't exist and never will is kind of downplaying it. As long as our guns don't become smart machines there's no reason to worry about AI taking over the world.

On I2P you can use http://legwork.i2p , it's a very good I2P network search engine.
I'm also in the process of working on a giant list of 'up' sites that I found using http://notbob.i2p/
For Yggdrasil's network, I made this. (Head over to /f/yggdrasil)

Ai doesn't exist and never will. The only AI is programmed. Humans are the only AI. We are far from learning the brain. Also the market is literally gambling, your also putting dollars into banks that use the interest against you. The reason bank sneed that amount of money is bc money doesn't exist and is an artificial scarcity. They ned billionrs, if a billionare gave up the money to give food, the money would be worth much less, and the billonaire is used to create the artificial scarcity, it's like the reservoir. Billionaires cant actually spend an money, they are cuks.

Reply to Scientists suggest US embassies were hit with high-power microwaves – here’s how the weapons work by trevor
These are pretty wide spectrum weapons, right? From what I've read I'm not certain it's possible to narrow it in on an individual and they seem rather large. Not something one could hide, unless the images shown are for demonstration purposes. I'd imagine a box truck with a big dish on top facing an embassy would raise some suspicion and prompt response from some local officials...

The part that got me:
When he slipped through the back door of a strip mall, exited through the front door and ran down the sidewalk, it caught that, too.
How? How did they get that, too?
Are they able to narrow down SSID's of mobile devices on-the-fly to possible suspects so they can more easily follow them in a crowd, or if they go into a building and out a distant exit? It simpler facial recognition?
Each drone — including long-distance cameras, other sensors and software — costs the department about $35,000. But the overriding cost of the program lies in the many officers needed to operate the drones.
I'm curious what the "other sensors and software" is. Telephoto lenses and stabilizing gimbals on hobby, home made quadcopters / multi-rotors are nothing new. I was building these some years ago before "drone" was the accepted everyday terminology of a RC multi-rotor. Makes me wonder what they have access to...

Reply to Google says Gmail working again after 'significant' number of users experienced issues during the company's second service disruption in 2 days by trevor
Google has had a rocky year. Interestingly enough I think someone showed/proved that one of their status pages wasn't actually reporting anything, and was just a static page displaying no issues throughout. Pretty cocky, and funny. But they may need to re-engineer that if true.
