You know, i think i might learn how to set up ad hoc networks to prepare for this sort of thing. I know its essentially wartime there now, but without internet, its harder to transmit the truth from the eyes of the civilians. Fucking sucks whats happening there. Repressive government, but filled with people who simply want a life free of the conflict, the endless battles, various ethnic groups simply wanting freedom from those who have invaded and partitioned their people.
This cant end well. . .
FYI, the old Linksys 54Gs can TRX packet radio over HAM frequencies.
couple it up with a LORA wan and you would have a pretty robust communication network.
They can track signals of said adhock networks. It’s unfortunately not that good preparation
would WPA3 and pre-shared keys not be enough? If every endpoint is scanning for malware, using host based firewalls, monitoring access logs and activity, it could be possible no?
They can physically track signals man. It’s not about malware, it’s about psychically knowing the location of the node
Well, they’re kinda busy right now getting bombed so I don’t think it’s a priority now.
Like, sure, at first the blackout was due to repression, yes. But then after a while these two countries started bombing the crap out of Iran, so now it’s a slightly different situation.
Let’s imagine you have two crackheads smashing your front door: are you gonna be worried about fixing the internet at that very moment?
The Internet isn’t broken it’s turned off
The reason its turned off was because of protests.
Approximately 0.1 years out of 3 billion years, truly a crisis. Precisely what people occupied themselves with for 3 billion years before the internet existed we may never know. Some claim they spent quite considerable time as single cell organisms, then multicellular aquatic organisms, until the species reached it’s apogee, a flabby orange real estate pedo fraudster.
That’s a stupid time frame. Wouldn’t be so bad except nearly everything relies on the Internet now. Especially information.
lots of prepper fetishist weirdos in this thread who seem to think anyone who thinks electricity, plumbing, and internet is normal are ‘weak’.
because apparently if we were ‘strong’ we would all be hunting animals and coking their carcasses over fires and sleeping outside… and communicating via smoke signal… lol
Can I coke with you?
Do we know it was actually Iran who shut it down or whether it was the US or Israel who did it instead?
It would be very odd if the US or Israel did it, because this started when Iran wanted to stop communications among citizens who were protesting the government.
TL;DR, yes. It was Iran. It began before the attacks on Iran (back when it was Iran attacking its own people)
It began before the attacks on Iran
Not true. Iranian people have been attacked by murderous US+EU sanctions killing tens of thousands of them every year for decades now. The protests were literally engineered by the US as a form of justification for the war, look at Iranian Rial exchange prices on the months before the protests. Hell, Trump literally admit a few days ago to sending weapons to the “protestors”.
Sure, and Iran isn’t under a regime now, right? They shut down the internet because they didn’t like what was said over it.
“Under a regime” lmao you should read a bit
Read what, only the news sources that don’t talk about Iran’s deeds, or all the other ones?
“Regime” literally means “government”, it’s just a propaganda word to make it sound scary. You could perfectly correctly speak of the “American regime” imprisoning ethnic minorities or the “German regime” forbidding military-aged men from leaving the country without permission, the fact that you unironically use “regime in Iran” as if it were something intrinsically negative proves that your whole understanding of this is vibes-based. If you care about Iranians, riot in your EU/US homeland to destroy the economic sanctions, which MURDER HALF A MILLION people YEARLY over the globe since 1975 per the latest The Lancet publications.
Bla bla, don’t try to “potato tomato” me, you know well what a regime is or you wouldn’t be upset at me calling it that. Funny that you are more worried about the economic sanctions, and not the repression, incarceration and execution of protesters… go spread your propaganda elsewhere.
Iran’s government has done plenty to deserve those sanctions. War is wrong no matter which side does it, and Iran is very guilty.
I wish you and your family never have to go through the “deserved sanctions” of the USA and EU, which together murder half a million people yearly since 1975 per latest medical research. I’m sure you don’t believe US citizens should starve to death for the actions of their government.
saddly nobody has found a better option. Iran has had particularly evil leaders for decades. (Why is interesting history itself - but not relavant to today)
saddly nobody has found a better option
I guess all Yanks should be starved for choosing the wrong president? Or is that something you reserve to nonwhites?
Or you can make war and kill innocents. Or you can turn your back and watch them kill innocents.
there are other variations, but I have yet to see an option that isn’t awful.
