Complete Internet Shutdown??
I have known some folks who have had it. They all hated it. Latency makes it useless -
Complete Internet Shutdown??
Damn! That is very good! I wish we had fiber here. -
What if the SHTF and I'm 12 hours from home????
This is the way to do it! Id also add that it’s smart to buy canned goods. Stuff you will use eventually anyhow. just check the date. Lot of the cheaper stuff is about to expire soon. -

People should also be mindful of the "civil asset forfeiture" laws and how they are being abused. I wouldn't carry large amounts of cash or any other valuables. And under no circumstance, ever grant any LEO permission to search your car. You know there's nothing in there. Don't give... -
Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)

Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)
The problem with the US is we have too many assholes. Remember the idiot in NYC who was told to stay home by his Dr? What did he do? Went out and partied that very night. Over 100 cases a week later. All due to one selfish asshole. Extrapolate that using the national asshole factor, and... -
Camping or survival stove
I like the idea of a rocket stove... Looks like something pretty easy to build. -
The Perfect Weapon.
New book out. https://www.npr.org/2018/06/14/620103358/the-perfect-weapon-tells-the-story-of-growing-cyber-war-that-the-u-s-is-fighting I haven’t read it, but looks interesting. I hear the technical details are accurate -
Would you be safe if Atlanta was hit?
So are we all. Bad thing about this sort of deal is you'd never see a lone nuke. There would be 5000. -
Complete Internet Shutdown??
This whole situation reminds me if something my security show guy said several years ago..... He pointed out that it is stupid to have anything like dams, power generation or distribution systems, communications, or ANY infrastructure connected to the public internet. He said that any of... -
Complete Internet Shutdown??
This is why I lay back a few days worth of stuff. An imagined crisis can be just as big a deal as a real one. I’m also gonna find a diesel vehicle. Gas stations run out of gasoline instantly, but easily have weeks worth of diesel in situations like that. That hurricane situation was... -
Complete Internet Shutdown??
No kidding. ****Stream is the worst ever. -
Complete Internet Shutdown??
Very good point. Although the internet is supposed to be fault tolerant, I think it is probably only hardened against expected attacks. The problem with some types of AI is that it can come up with very novel and unexpected solutions. I remember hearing about an AI which beat the world’s... -
Complete Internet Shutdown??
I listen to an enterprise tech podcast. These guys were doing near and long-term predictions. One near term prediction in particular struck me. They say that (probably this year) some kind of state-level adversary will use AI Malware to attack the Internet. They also said it will... -
Best and worst places to survive the apocalypse
Love mountain folk! My Grandmother was from Blue Ridge. I have heard enough to know you ain't lying. -She always said "Bunch of carpetbaggers came up here after the war. They found their way to the bottom of a lot of wells." I love it up there. Definitely could see myself retiring to... -
Pls School Me on Solar Panels....
Wow! That's spendy. I had no idea they were that expensive. (Thanks for the info, though.) -
Pls School Me on Solar Panels....
What's everyone like for charging car batteries? -

Motor vehicles
I wish I had found one like that back in the day. Those are likely the last (practical) military trucks civilians can own. Hummers are crazy expensive, and some states won't allow road use. -
