A very effective first step is to put it on a vhost with a domain you control, and drop traffic to the default vhost. 99.999% of scanners are just going through IPs looking for stuff, so don’t give them anything. Better yet, block any IP that scans you more than a dozen or so times.
Obviously some stuff will find you through cert issuance logs, but most of the bastards don’t bother with that level of sophistication.
I’m not an expert, but I think it has to do with AC vs DC electrification. With a DC third rail subway you can just feed it back into the lines no problem, but with AC you have to get the phase sync exactly correct or it will cause pretty serious problems. It’s the kind of thing that depends a lot on how old the system is, how energy distribution works, etc.
If there is an actual expert here I’d also like to know more..!
Something interesting about locomotives is that they do quite a bit of braking by using the motors as generators, but it’s NOT regenerative braking! There’s basically no electrical storage system that can handle that amount of energy that quickly, all batteries available today can NOT handle that kind of power surge safely. Some catenary systems can handle back-feeding, and it’s becoming more common, but it’s not something a diesel-electric can do. Instead they have massive resistors and radiators at the top of the locomotive and they bleed it off as heat. It’s less wear on the brake pads, so it’s often preferred when they don’t need to stop quickly.
You’ll always catch me strapped with a F-91W
The cool thing is that you can make basically any combination of parts into a router if you install Linux or BSD on it. Not terribly helpful for end user consumers that will get shafted by this, but at the end of the day it’s just a small computer.
Otherwise, smuggle some “foreign routers” in from Mexico or Canada like it’s the prohibition era?
It is THE e-commerce site I like to show people what I mean when I say “good UX”. It’s basically perfect. You can find the perfect part in less than 10 clicks, It’s lightning fast, no useless white space, no pop ups or cookie banners. Every site should be built like that.
Zoneminder and Frigate make it very easy to run your own security system without backdoors. It’s not hard, just takes some thought and effort to set up.
People said similar things in Japan in the 90s, and then had three decades without growth. When an asset bubble pops it’s not guaranteed the bubble will blow back up. This is a good strategy of course, but there’s no law of nature that the line always goes up. With the instability and debasement of the US economy it’s the most vulnerable they’ve been in many decades. I hope you’re right, but there’s a terrifying possibility things get even worse.
A coworker of mine specifically built a little gazebo on their deck to be a summer-office. They wired a little wifi repeater in the roof, retractable shades and curtains, a ceiling fan, and got a desk that specifically fits a comfy deck chair. Obviously all of this can be moved out of the way for normal back yard stuff, but it’s become the absolute envy of all my remote colleagues.
To be fair, it was a lot dirtier before the last couple weeks of rain rinsed off the layer of crusty salt scunge that was caked onto pretty much everything…
The hilarious irony is that if we did this, Quebec would have to change all their “Arrêt” signs to “Stop” to comply with EU signage standards
Don’t our bills have to go through a legal review process? The charter is pretty clear on stuff like this… It’s pretty obvious this is dead in the water whether our MPs like it or not. But they’ll keep trying until they get what they want.
