VLANs are lower than IP so you don’t need a router to have a VLAN, but you will need a router to get packets between the networks. I don’t think a WiFi repeater works. You likely need separate WiFi client and AP devices so you can put your WiFi on a different channel. Otherwise you’re probably halving your WiFi performance when connecting to the other network over the same airwaves.

Unless you can convince the other network to route your IP addresses, this setup will give you another layer of NAT and may cause problems with online games.

Freedom fries

The only good thing about Trump is that if America survives it will be forced to fix its system of government if it ever wants to become as internationally important as it was just a few months ago again.

It involves buying a politician.

Probably less. He could change his mind at any time.

He “learned his lesson” so he was allowed to stay in office. He learned his lesson alright. He learned he can do whatever he wants because the federal government is overrun with traitors.

This isn’t caving. This is the deal they originally wanted, before Trump intervened in his first term. Trump will refuse, and then the EU can say “I thought you wanted fair trade” before retaliating. Maybe it’s embarrassing for the US.

This will happen both ways. Once agreements to buy are over, prices of American material exports will collapse within the US. The USDA says 40-45% of rice is grown for export. Americans are going to eat a lot of rice.

Trying hundreds or thousands of hashes against the servers of random unconsenting people on the internet is beyond what I would be comfortable with. People have been prosecuted for less. It’s not the same as a crawler where you try a few well known locations and follow links. You’re trying to gain access to a system that somebody did not intend for you to have access to.

These endpoints probably don’t have protection because they were never designed to and it’s hard to add it later. Theoretically, if the IDs are random that’s probably good enough except that you wouldn’t be able to revoke access once somebody had it. The IDs probably aren’t random because at some point only the path is used. It’s how software evolves. It’s not on purpose that somebody may be able to guess the ID to gain access to it.

Some microprocessors in deep sleep mode can consume less than 100 microwatts, so I guess it could be possible with this version, but you’d need to charge for a long time. The power consumption of an active ESP32 can reach 700,000 microwatts.

This article is very confused. America definitely isn’t banning TikTok because it’s unpopular or unimportant. American billionaires are stealing TikTok because it is more profitable than their apps.

He has amazing levels of energy for being a fat old man who can’t walk down a ramp. It could be the drugs.

3V at 100 microwatts significantly limits its usefulness.

They say they’re planning to make a 1W version, which I assume will be either be much larger or have a much shorter lifespan. How does it work? Does it have a way to stop the reaction or does the 1W battery generate 1W of heat when there’s no load attached?

I think in this case whether it’s distribution or not would have to go to court. It’s not intentended to be distribution. Depending on the judge and the lawyers it could be distribution or not distribution or the prosecution may have committed a crime in finding it.

That is possible, but I don’t think you need to worry about that. Having a copy of a movie is not normally itself a crime.

If the server is using a standard path prefix and a standard file layout and is using standard file names it isn’t that difficult to find the location of a media file and then from there it would be easier to find bore files, assuming the paths are consistent.

But even for low entropy strings, long strings are difficult to brute force, and rainbow tables are useless for this use case.

It’s not that challenging if you are looking for specific media files, but if you wanted to enumerate the files on a server it’s basically impossible.

If the ID is the MD5 of the path, rainbow tables are completely useless. You don’t have the hash. You need to derive the hash by guessing the path to an existing file, for each file.

My utility company told me they could do this, but I know for a fact they cannot. My power meter broadcasts its instantaneous reading in short plain text packets at a frequency once every few seconds. They told me all my power usage was hot water. I’m sure it’s HVAC and computers, which didn’t even show up in their list.

Just like last time?

But he’s too stupid for that. He wants so badly to be king when the problems catch up that he would destroy the country to do it. He had a years long tantrum after he lost the election.
