I never heard of SS7 and have actually no idea how the whole phone system communication works but that’s kinda scary…

SS7 and 1ESS are terribly insecure and were even before CALEA compliance was required. Folks compromising telephony routing systems was a thing back in the early 1990’s.

Story time. I worked as a telecom engineer for a while. One of ourasks was, whenever the telco would get a warrant a small team of us at the office were tasked with turning up the surveillance features of our infra (dupe all CDR logs off to another system for chain of custody, log all of the SIP traffic from the specified subscribers to a separate set of logs on the same box for the same reason, basically trap-and-trace and pen register functionality updated for the early 00’s (we had the capability of tapping and recording RTP traffic in realtime by abusing three way calling but were not asked to do it while I worked there)). About half the time we’d go into our back-end, and find taps already in place. A few times we took it to management, who kicked it up the food chain and were told flat out “Shut up, write up how you would have done it yourself, and just copy the data coming from what you found.” So, we did. Never did find out who did it and why.

OPM is already completely compromised, so it seems likely that they’re going through JPAS to find folks who came out during their background investigations. Expect another round of purges.

When last I heard, the record for a self-sustaining fusion reaction was 22 minutes. Either they’re expecting a very, very long time to get anywhere close to starting construction, or they know something (which I’d be interested to hear about).

It will not hurt your chances.

The purpose of a company is to make money.

By selling out they stand to make even more money.

For starts, read the wiki. Specifically, read the installation guide at least twice to get a feel for how it works and what the Arch vibe is like. This is also your chance to figure out just what you want to do. Do you want to use GRUB or UEFI? Which sounds like a better fit? What filesystem? What do you want to run? mdadm or not? A little bit of planning and reading is better than reinstalling half a dozen times (ask me how I know…)

Must-have applications? Screen or tmux. SSH. Whatever shell you’re comfortable with (bash is how I roll, but you might be a fan of fish).

One of the Muskrat’s kits will undoubtedly tell him sooner or later. Then Github’ll get a takedown order.

The firmware blobs for that chipset might be in a package you don’t have installed. You’re running Arch, so install the package upd72020x-fw from the AUR.

Waah.

They admitted it back then, too.

It probably means that more people are hacking on it and getting their PRs accepted than are working on SquashFS. What constitutes software that is still alive these days is pretty badly skewed toward “if you don’t release four x.y.z releases every day your software is dead” these days.

Reading that gave me a fucking headache.

https://elblogdelnarco.com/ is the one everybody seems to go to first. Be careful, there’s some pretty fucking horrifying stuff in there.

This is the Internet, there’s no shortage of targets.

Look at how Mexican narcobloggers do it. Many of their sites are hosted at places like Blogger. They keep backups of everything they write (those sites let you download site archives from your control panel). They access everything over Tor using TAILS. They delay what they post compared to what happened, to make it more difficult to correlate who was within range of an event (i.e., witnesses) and when they posted it. They don’t post from home but go elsewhere.

They don’t tell anybody they’re narcobloggers. At all.
