Would love to see Gnu Radio running on this. On Sat, Nov 23, 2019, 9:37 AM jim bell wrote:

yes! so much 'computing power' that will be used for surveillance and to further enslave people.

> yes! so much 'computing power' that will be used for surveillance and to further enslave people. About 4 years ago, I bingewatched the series Person of Interest. The main difficulty in actually implementing such a system, I figured, was finding out how to get access to all those camera-feeds from around the city. But I also wondered how much CPU power would be necessary to run the whole thing. Probably tens of thousands of multi-core CPUs, I decided. Jim Bell

virtually ALL 'private' cameras and govcorp cameras are connected to the nsa network, aka the interweb. "The main difficulty in actually implementing such a system" there's no 'main difficulty' in implementing something that already exists.

On the contrary, covert intel and military wireless comms could often been exposed by civilian hackers. There is a project electrosense.org to use massive numbers of globally distributed, Rpi + RTL + a special, inexpensive, wideband upconverters to cover the RF spectrum from almost DC to 6 GHz. Tied together by the Internet they collect this spectrum and post it to a shared database. The device code is OS and the database openly accessible. The spectrum analysis code, not yet. Tied together with a massively parallel computing system it could play an important role in open SIGINT and help develop open covert wireless technologies.

could? They have never been 'exposed' though.

"ElectroSense is a non-profit organization based in Switzerland which aims at improving the way how the radio frequency spectrum is used" Unless you have strong evidence to the contrary, then 'electrosense' is just another US military spying program. Notice their 'altruistic' 'goal' of 'improving' shit. Which translates to : improve govcorp's control over comms worldwide.

On the contrary, one of the authors of their recent paper works for Armiswisse the government aerospace and military contractor. On Sun, Nov 24, 2019, 4:37 PM Punk-Stasi 2.0 wrote:

On the contrary to what? Thanks for just making my point. That is indeed a US military project. I hope I don't need to spell out for you the fact that military swiss govcorp is nothing but a branch of the pentagon. So, you have just advertised a military program as...what exactly?

Eve of the NSA, despite her massive budget for monitoring the spectrum faces technical challenges based on physics and information theory linked to the limited number of spectrum capture locations. This project encourages the participation of uncounted geek stooges to overcome some or most of these deficiencies. On Sun, Nov 24, 2019, 6:13 PM Punk-Stasi 2.0 wrote:

wiggle.net used to be vilified for various nefarious possibilities - aiding the man, aiding the burglar, aiding the cracker... all of these concerns overblown. broad spectrum views into past and present? sure, this is spook tech, but it is in the hands of the individual, not the state. all technology is an amplifier: for good or for bad, in the hands of the individual and in the hands of the state. the luddite always ineffectual! use technology, but empower the individual - not the state, not the corporation, not the powerful. as example, techniques like this are great for identifying stingray like behavior in your vicinity: https://harrisonsand.com/imsi-catcher/ . just one of myriad capabilities... best regards,
