These sound like some random plankton orgs, you can just as well pick a name and start your own

can you pull ethernet cable along power cables, wherever they are?

regular ethernet should work on this kind of distance, but it means digging

Mate do i have just the right thing for you, but it requires some soldering. It’s also probably cheapest solution working over longer range than you need

First you need two directional antennas. Use this https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/cup.html the 13cm design specifically. Design of the dipole element is on another page https://lea.hamradio.si/~s53mv/wumca/sbfa.html They’re using hard to get semirigid coax but you can really just use common RG178 with braid tinned to make it stiff. This way you don’t have to leave D section they way they did, you can just solder core to the shield at the end while preserving total length (or ~1-2 mm less, because wifi is slightly higher frequency; 53-52 mm total). That dummy cable thing can be just any stiff piece of wire. Good way to get this would be getting a pack of u.fl-SMA pigtails, which you can also use for connection.

You also don’t need special aluminum housing like they do, cookie tin of the right size would be sufficient, or any other container of similar nature. If you can’t weatherproof it, putting it inside on windowsill is also fine

Then, plug TL-WN722N into it, or some other single-antenna thing, and you’re set. This one connects over USB and has removable RPSMA antenna, so you can connect it easily with correct cable (SMA plug - RPSMA plug)

to your new directional antenna. This thing works well over 200m distance, provided clear line of sight, and probably more than that

this shouldn’t be surprising if you paid any amount of attention https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda_network https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20250310-russian-disinformation-infects-ai-chatbots-researchers-warn

in my country it used to be like this for 50 years, you get flat rate per day, counted up to fractions of day, separately for accomodation and food + everything else. you only have to keep transportation tickets

behold, disruption

Radio transmission doesn’t require state-level capacity (yes there are other barriers like cost or skill) and waves don’t care about borders. Receiving foreign radio was a big thing and it doesn’t require special equipment

beats lignite i guess

thoughts and prayers if you’re lucky, best that they can do now is vagueposting

either they used that or whatever was shot down looked completely different

modern radar can measure speed, size, altitude of target and count turbine blades, allowing to figure out what it is. well, rotational speed of propeller in this case but logic is the same

whatever was shot down was shot by fighter jets, not gbad

the explanation that was given at the time was that drones that were assessed as armed were shot down near border (like the one that blew off roof - it was strictly speaking debris after shootdown) but decoys were allowed to crash on their own

yeah i understand that the proper thing to do would be burning Alabuga to the ground, but we’re kinda not in position to do that

from what i understand, there are now tests of anti-drone systems for purpose of procurement for polish army, and today i heard there’s some kind of training of polish air defense troops by ukrainians to be set up. other than that? they reacted according to doctrine, using what they had, mobilizing allied assets available in the area, could have been worse

they did, try to keep up. russia fucked off from turkey because su-24 also tends to have pilot who died, and this time it’s drones only

lol nope they can’t do that because “guardrails” aren’t anywhere near reliable, and they won’t because it would cut into their profits userbase numbers, based on which they raise vc money. delusional chatbot user is just a recurrent subscriber

fork found in kitchen

wdym, that’s the point
