Scattered wit about tech, plants, and occasional surrealism. Toots are my own, as no one else wants them.
There was discussion at work about using couplers for improvised cabling while I was also crimping cat6 elsewhere. Had to speak up.
Cory DoctorowState-affiliated Chinese hackers penetrated AT&T, Verizon, Lumen and others; they entered their networks and spent months intercepting US traffic - from individuals, firms, government officials, etc - and they did it all without having to exploit any code vulnerabilities. Instead, they used the back door that the FBI requires every carrier to furnish:

It is truly the world's only source thus far developed, and it probably lost large refining facilities that were by the river. The semiconductor industry is going to take a big hit while supply is slowly restored. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/semiconductors/the-worlds-semiconductor-industry-hinges-on-a-quartz-factory-in-north-carolina

PepijnFor 21 years I've ran an informative #website on #overfishing.
As an "independent source" it was used by politicians, students, and many everyday people alike.
It was used for #publications & #documentaries, and triggered some inquires where I assisted in shaping national & international political statements. It's been fun & fulfilling 🙂
