Not the attack vector I was thinking of. BOINC lists several, the main one I was thinking of was is a version of one they mention: hackers can create fake projects to deliver malware. I'm thinking of a hacker hacking his organization's legitimate project.
TBF in 16 years with millions of computer-hours they've not had an incident. That they know of.
Do you have a specific question?
Dude is saying meshtastic hardware units aren't FOSS.
The second S in FOSS is for software.
Then he says his MURS radio is just as open source. Which it isn't, but the Lillygo boards for meshtastic and his chinese radio circuitboard are equally generic MIC hardware.
He says he might as well use his MURS radio, which cannot send encrypted messages, can't act as a node in a mesh, doesn't have a GPS sensor on it, and doesn't blend in with other LORA signals in an urban environment. I.e. compares apples and chimpanzees.
Then he complains about Java on the Meshtastic website.....
Ignoramus who thinks he's smart and doesn't want to learn, or a troll, or both.
Completely different use case. You're comparing apples to oranges and you're smart enough to know this. Quit complaining.
A service that asks folks to attach their home devices to the internet to donate computation power isn't low attack surface when the folks doing this will be predominantly well-to-do and technologically challenged. It's a very, very attractive target for bad actors IMHO
This morning I'm grateful for strong traditions passed down from my grandparents, salt for icy walkways, and the incredible atomic properties of water.

A post by David Hundeyin on X about Bola Ahmed Tinubu ( President of Nigeria ) affiliation with US 3 letters agencies. A clear case of neo-colonialism:
Yesterday in federal court, the CIA, FBI, and DEA filed a memorandum opposing our motion for summary judgment in the FOIA disclosure case about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s drug trafficking investigation records, where we are seeking to have the redactions removed from the (partially released) files.
In the filing, the CIA effectively confirmed that Nigeria's sitting president is an active CIA asset. An excerpt from the CIA filing reads:
"Human sources can be expected to furnish information to the CIA only when they are confident the CIA can and will do everything in its power to prevent the public disclosure of their cooperation. In the case of a person who has been cooperating with the CIA, official confirmation of that cooperation could cause the targets to take retaliatory action against that person or against their family or friends. It also places in jeopardy every individual with whom the cooperating individual has had contact. Thus, the indiscretion of one source in a chain of intelligence sources can damage an entire spectrum of sources. As such, confirming or denying the existence of records on a particular foreign national, like Tinubu, reasonably could be expected to cause damage to U.S. national security by indicating whether or not the CIA maintained any human intelligence sources related to Tinubu, and identifying any access or lack of access any such sources had to intelligence concerning him."
And if that wasn't bad enough, the DEA's filing included a paragraph that literally said: "We oppose full, unredacted disclosure of the DEA's Bola Tinubu heroin trafficking investigation records because we believe that while Nigerians have a right to be informed about what their government is up to, they do not have a right to know what their president is up to."
At this point, I think there is nothing more to be said about the direct role that the US government plays in ensuring that Africa is constantly destabilised and afflicted with terrible leaders who create poverty and devastation.

You do realize that the chaos of Eastern Europe and Africa are a fetish of pretty much anyone in the field of intelligence, right?
The Wikipedia article actually has some decent references on this. As far as I know, nobody has published on the three traditions compared and contrasted. I'm getting seminary student vibes. This might be something to look into publishing 🤙

Why did you want to do it? 😉
Says he doesn't want it on his Wi-Fi. And I'm assuming that means his Ethernet too.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. On second thought, it was a pretty awful time.
Have fun brother 🤜🤛
