[ot][spam][wrong] karl's attempt to go outdoors or change his name
by Karl 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

I'm currently sitting in an area outdoors with mosquitos. I don't know how to stay outdoors reliably without either (a) a break from the mosquitos or (b) willpower to influence my psychological and behavioral histamine response. If I light a fire or candles that are smoky enough, the mosquitos will go away. I'm not sure how to do that at this time. They are also less prevalent in sunny, windy, or dry areas. But they can still be around a little bit.

Airplane surveiling a person

"FBI Spy Planes Monitored a Single Suspect for Nearly 429 Hours" here: https://share.smartnews.com/v4Yvw "The FBI’s secretive spy plane program targeted a man in Florida last year with nearly constant surveillance, logging more than 400 hours in the air with a fleet of Cessna aircraft registered to what appear to be front companies." "This aerial surveillance, described in a filing made Monday in federal court, reveals for the first time the FBI’s enormous capacity to target a single individual inside the United States for prolonged monitoring using aircraft. The fleet of FBI planes, often small aircraft, are outfitted with high-tech video cameras and tracking devices known as “cell-site simulators” that trick mobile phones into connecting to the FBI’s device rather than to a legitimate cellphone tower."

The SAFE network works similarly to the TOR network
by professor rat 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

MaidSafeCoin (MAID) was launched in February 2006. It is a project that aims to decentralize the Internet. According to the developers, its concept predates Bitcoin (BTC) by several years. The SAFE network works similarly to the TOR network, meaning that all online content is distributed and accessed through a peer-to-peer (P2P) mesh network. MaidSafeCoin is a token for SafeCoin, a decentralized currency for the decentralized SAFE network, which is maintained by the users’ extra hard disk space, processing power and data connectivity level..." https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/maidsafecoin/ Just bought some of these.
