Now the House has impeached him, any violence Trump inspires in the next week is McConnell's fault

DUMBFUCK's impeached. But he seems to have staunched the bleeding from last night when Cheney and McConnell made it look like the dam might be breaking. https://www.palmerreport.com/analysis/statement-which-reveals-how-scared-he… "... he’s scared. In the past week he’s lost three banks, his Twitter account, a major golf tournament, and several key allies. He’s also under criminal investigation by the DC Attorney General for inciting violence. Trump is facing bankruptcy and prison ..." If only the US was a democracy cos this would be the end of the GOP.

Christine Lagarde needs killing ( My 20$ )
by professor rat 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

Christine Lagarde, president of the ECB, wants the dogs of regulation unleashed on Bitcoin. She told a press conference today that Bitcoin should be regulated to protect against money laundering. "Global cooperation" is needed, she said. https://decrypt.co/53962/bitcoin-global-regulation-european-central-bank

The Guardian: Australian man arrested in Germany over 'world's largest' darknet marketplace
by professor rat 13 Jan '21

Why I support " Lexit " - a leftist Brexit, and have done for years. The EU failed on free-movement by building Fortress Europe. Its crappy currency is set up to fail when there are decent alternatives and its idea of democracy is to keep holding plebiscites till the ultra-nationalist result is reached. The whole idea of Europa only made sense as a Proudhonian one and reached its use-by date with Peak Shengen and the rise of Bitcoin. The smart play with an imposition like quarantine was to suspend the war-on-drugs. But in states like the EU power ratchets only one way. Every state with any self-respect should leave - especially Britain's old ally, Portugal where drugs are legal and Holland where cafes sell some illegal drugs. This story is also a reminder there is a long standing - from 2009 on - demand the US govt surrender to the internet and acknowledge that surrender by freeing all its Drug War prisoners. I encourage all cypherpunks to support this effort - it means the fascistic US republic becomes a Futarchy. One small step toward crypto-anarchy.

SweepSense - the most effective way to sense wide band signals
by coderman 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

https://github.com/ucsdsysnet/sweepsense SweepSense This repository contains FPGA source code and GNURadio+UHD (Python3) based API for the prototype SweepSense implementation in our paper: [Guddeti, Y., Subbaraman, R., Khazraee, M., Schulman, A., & Bharadia, D. (2019). Sweepsense: Sensing 5 ghz in 5 milliseconds with low-cost radios. In 16th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI 19) (pp. 317-330).](https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi19/presentation/guddeti) This readme explains the overall architecture briefly, goes through the folder structure and displays the license. For full technical details and evaluations are available in the extended paper. Overview We propose a new receiver architecture for spectrum sensing radios where sampling is done along with quick sweeping of the center frequency. This is motivated by the intuition that a sweeping radio may miss lesser transmissions than one that sequentially tunes to different bands. [Paradigm Shift](https://github.com/ucsdsysnet/SweepSense/blob/master/docs/figure_1.p… We implement this using an open loop VCO fed with a sawtooth voltage waveform. The output of the VCO is used to drive a mixer and implement the sweeping radio. [Sweep Receiver Architecture](https://github.com/ucsdsysnet/SweepSense/blob/master/docs/fig… The architecture has been prototyped on a USRP N210 with a CBX daughterboard. [VCO Core Sweeping Architecture](https://github.com/ucsdsysnet/SweepSense/blob/master/docs/fre… Downconverting while sweeping introduces distortions in the signal, which we remove using an "unsweeping" process and is discussed in the paper. Example Results [Paradigm Shift](https://github.com/ucsdsysnet/SweepSense/blob/master/docs/figure_3.p… A SweepSense capture of the 2.4 GHz ISM band showing WiFi and Bluetooth transmissions. We get close to 100 MHz bandwidth with only a 25 MSps radio.

Phased array beamforming workshop
by coderman 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

https://github.com/jonkraft/PhasedArray PhasedArray (GNU Radio 2020 Workshop presentation can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/0hnWfTvETcU) Phased array beamformers are very powerful! And they find applications in 5G MIMO, FMCW radar, and satellite communications. But their underlying principles and issues can be hard to intuitively grasp. But with the instructions and explanations here, you can build an easy to use system that allows you to experience the underlying math and principles of beamformers. With this setup, you'll track an RF source, plot its beam characteristics and learn of the features integrated into modern beamformer ICs. It is a hands-on way to learn about steering angle, beam width, null locations, beam tapering, grating lobes, and beam squint. To get started, first read the "Phased Array Lab Build Your Own" document. Then peruse the "Phased Array Lab" document to see what we'll be learning. After that, please try it out and build your own. Seeing and manipulating the beam first hand is much more informative and educational then just seeing the equations or the slides I provide of what the beam should look like. Build it, play with it, and you'll learn a ton about this very powerful concept.

I have other places - JoinDiaspora & Insane Journal - I commend ' Insane Journal ' to you since you clearly don't have the first thing about anarchism and think that known living Nazi's provide value. Only dead Nazi's ( The Zenaan Harkness / Batshit Crazy, Julian Assange type ) provide any value. Get help.
