Hey, you know, just be sure you trust the folks that made it to identify the mushrooms accurately. I’ve seen some commercially available dried “boletes” with gills. No bueno.

Noted, about the architecture, I claim to know, and actually know practically nothing.

It seems like the potential is there with proper integration to a decent gui?

From Bruce Schneier:

What do you suppose happens if the next train is too far away to receive the stop signal? If I were Polish I’d be expressing concern about this.

Remotely Stopping Polish Trains

[2023.08.28] Turns out that it’s easy to broadcast radio commands that force Polish trains to stop:

...the saboteurs appear to have sent simple so-called “radio-stop” commands via radio frequency to the trains they targeted. Because the trains use a radio system that lacks encryption or authentication for those commands, Olejnik says, anyone with as little as $30 of off-the-shelf radio equipment can broadcast the command to a Polish train -- sending a series of three acoustic tones at a 150.100 megahertz frequency -- and trigger their emergency stop function.

“It is three tonal messages sent consecutively. Once the radio equipment receives it, the locomotive goes to a halt,” Olejnik says, pointing to a document outlining trains’ different technical standards in the European Union that describes the “radio-stop” command used in the Polish system. In fact, Olejnik says that the ability to send the command has been described in Polish radio and train forums and on YouTube for years. “Everybody could do this. Even teenagers trolling. The frequencies are known. The tones are known. The equipment is cheap.”

Even so, this is being described as a cyberattack.

Decision time. Coldcard or Jade?

I just configured my first 10 with four 1TB SSD on a USB3 hub. For the first time in my experience I’m pretty sure the hub is the speed choke point. I’m impressed, but there is all the extra hardware.

Lol, some of us do our heroing in the nude!

I really dislike when a predator kills a free ranging chicken mother. The chicks wander around peeping for her and it’s sad. I run around for hours trying to gather them up. 😢

With the low price of hardware why not at least slower RAID 5 or speedy RAID 10?

Or is all the dead young people over in Russia and Ukraine?
