Depends on who you know.

If you are well connected to a cartel or a similar crime organisation or at least in good standing with them: No, it’s not that difficult, sadly.

If you are not, thankfully it’s hard.

Why? Because it’s illegal and that is a problem for the buyer in that case. Why? Because if you hire someone he can simply fuck off with the money. Now what do you do now? You can’t go to the police or sue him. You can of course hire another hitman and try to kill the first hitman . But who guarantees that this hitman is not also fucking off with the money? (There was literally a case when this happened).

So unless you have some kind of “society net” behind you, that protects you from this, either via coercion (“Pablo will kill your family if you fuck off with his money, the buyer is his veterinarian!”) or other guarantees (“You are no longer welcome with lemmafia, you screwed over one of us!”) you are likely fucked.

And if you would,you would not ask that here.

Which is good.

The old school hitman that worked for a higher up in a syndicate has nearly disappeared these days at least in the industrial nations. DNA based investigation techniques are fairly common these days and it is nearly impossible to be certain that you left no traces. And these can fuck you over 20 years later. So it’s not a long term career these days as people don’t want to risk being caught for drunk driving 20 years later and now have a murder case brought up against them all of a sudden. Additionally these kind of people are a liability - they can connect someone who does not want to be connected to a crime to one. Which makes them very interesting witnesses.

Even the crime cartels often use kids/minors as hitman these days - sometimes even brought in from South America,etc. just for the crime. They have very little risk of detection as they won’t be in any databases, they don’t care if they get their DNA on something when they disappear into a slum (or worse) afterwards anyway and if caught they won’t get harsh sentences most of the time.

It’s not that new, actually.

Mossad killed Mahmoud Hamshari, a leader of the terrorist cell that kidnapped and killed Israeli athletes during the Munich Olympics with a bomb in his (non mobile) phone. They called him, confirmed he was on the phone and blew him up.

Yahya Ayyash the chief bomb maker of the Hamas was also killed by an exploding mobile phone in 1996.

The size of the operation here is truly impressive,but it’s hardly new - and nothing another bad faith state level actor couldn’t do. There is a good reason proper governments control incoming shipments of communication devices for their officials and security services very closely.

Jo,schon klar. Aber du musst halt mit denen die ersten Sekunden den gesamten Verbrauch des jeweiligen Netzabschnittes abfangen können. Was bei 70 Raffinerien + Pumpen + Extraktoren schon ganz schön in die Menge geht. Erst Recht wenn die anderen Fabriken ähnliche Ausmaße haben.

Für die Biomasse des Raffinerieblocks braucht es glaube ich den ganzen Amazonas.

Und Batterien - ich hab schon sehr viele gebaut.Am Ende ging es damit+weitere Unterteilung der Blöcke auch,aber was ein Nervfaktor.

Was auch hilft: Sprit Notfalldepot per Ventile.

Genau deshalb lese ich dieses Thema um 01:31.

Aber auch nur,weil vorher der Frust über die fehlende Kaltstartfähigkeit zu groß war.

Raffinerie braucht zu viel Strom,aber ohne Raffinerie keine Generatoren.

Also doch wieder Kohle und Atomkraft.

Kind of. I am a CEO (that’s the easy part) of a small consulting company in healthcare.

The hard part is to explain what we actually do: We do consult organisations about (healthcare related) disaster preparedness/risk management and contingency planning. So you call us if you want to have proper plans in case your hospital catches fire, COVID and monkey pox have baby or if you are a city and need to know how to plan for “the day X”. But as we work mainly on a systemic level you can also call us if you need a more intelligence focused plan e.g. “I am going to South Sudan, what do I do if I have an accident?”.

Additionally we also consult for ambulance services, e.g. how to plan vehicle allocation, etc.

You can absolutely install a raspberry on a USB stick/SSD? I do it all the time?

Yeah, a proper solar setup would absolutely work - I did something similar with a Pi zero 2w and Motion OS. Actually Pi’s are fairly nice webcams for some speciality applications - e.g. when you want to use multiple cameras from the same device, need special cameras or want something done appliance-sided. And the form factor is decent with the RPI02w.

I intentionally didn’t use a solar panel as the main power source, but used a regular large USB battery with an analog timer/clock that simply powered the pi on for 20min a day and gave it enough time to take the picture and mail it to me. (I had WiFi at the site)

The solar panel was only an add-on to increase the time the battery lasted but it worked pretty well during the summer months. During winter it didn’t do too much, but that’s okay - I still got two weeks out of the USB battery which was pretty comfortable. I simply replaced the battery on the days I was on-site and never had a problem.

I now power a Lora to NB-IOT gateway with a complete solar kit, though with one of these camping kits that provide 60w and charge a battery. The NB IOT gateway takes 12w max(4w on average)so it is more than enough to both charge the battery and run the gateway even on cloudier winter days. But this project is in a pretty sunny spot and it’s placed outside - I would highly discourage you to use one of these in your friends house - the first set I had almost caught fire. No biggie in that location, huge problem if it is your friends home.

PS: Do you have a chance to use PoE maybe?

Stay away from the combo units. They are shit. And the reduced throughput is a major issue.

A tower design has to have the washer below the dryer, as the washer is creating more vibrations and simply weighs more.

Not all manufacturers allow a dryer to be placed upon their washers and not all washers have a big enough top.

Some (Bosch-Siemens-Appliances does i.e.) do offer specialised “tops” that you can use and that are working quite well. (Example

Personally I would put another lashing strap around the combination, though,just to be extra safe, especially if you have children or pets.

Other than that the combination works without a problem,we have been using that for around 15 years by now, only interrupted by our experiments with combo machines.

The combo units are shit. Believe me,I tried.

Efficiency sucks, you can often dry less than you can wash. And especially if you have larger amounts to wash/dry you can only have half the throughput.

And according to a few customer protection/test organisations they seem to be less reliable as well.

Still waiting for it to get better ten years later.

And yes,I had world class treatment with no financial limits.

Or pirate radio it and make people think it’s a new number station. Then someone will surely put it on YouTube so you can listen to it there.

Mullvad until you are often in the PCR, there I had a much better experience with ExpressVPN compared to basically everyone else.

If you need a lot of exit nodes in different countries Proton or Pure, but I grow increasingly wary of Proton these days and Pure is getting more and more enshitified these days.

So I simply use Mullvad for privacy and my own WG service for security.

I must actually revoke my statement,it seems like it is now being revived and is developed again, at a much slower pace,though.

But much better than nothing and at least security updates seem to be working.

Sorry for the misinformation, my bad, the different sources are quite misleading sometimes.

And sadly MeshCentral is pretty much death development wise, isn’t it? The main dev left Intel and now has not enough time for the project, wasn’t that the story?

Edit: it seems to be developed again, much slower,though. But better than nothing.

OF was generally a masterpiece that nowadays is often forgotten.

The massive conquer the island battles alone, often taking more than 12,sometimes more than 24h were epic for the time.

You can, without much work actually, remove the brain through the cervical hole (the hole the spine is “connected” to)

And this ladies and gentlemen is what is wrong with Linux and its communities.

Technological gatekeeping is THE major problem in the Linux world. You use Linux to use Linux. You intentionally do not want people that you consider “below” you to use Linux or even be present in your communities.

Most people use computers to get something done. Be it development, gaming, consuming multimedia, or just “web browsing” (which you intentionally use to degrade people “just” doing that). They do not use computers to use computers. They don’t need to and should need to. If you want to do this, good for you.

But stop trying to gatekeep people out of it. That’s just an a****** behaviour.

Cloudron is also an option. More polished than Yunohost, created by a German company. Very low rate of admin interaction required. But not for free if you need more than two Apps.

The funny thing is: This is very likely just a VOC detector with a fancy API. I can’t imagine that they spent too much on actual hardware development, especially as they are afaik not a real hardware company.

So it will be triggered by VOC.

You know what else does cause a lot of VOC to be distributed in a environment?

Yeah. Taking a proper shit.

This has very likely never been tested on an actual toilet.
