Regarding the proxmox cluster, I would advise not to set up a cluster unless you really need to, it adds complexity in order of shutting down the server, HA, Quorum votes, ceph monitor, among many others, and if one server goes offline, or even the wrong order, it will impact the others and sometimes some tough time in recovery, or data loss.

I think that’s an ok move, definitely better than canceling code on pro users for example, I would support to even have a new pricing tier only for openclaw, so they don’t ruin the usage on others. I noticed the ones who use claude code usually are software developers or sysadmins, meanwhile most openclaw ones are your average HR stacy and lazy middle managers, so yeah, it should be a separate tier for them.

I think the pricing tier for open claw should probably just be the per token API one?

> and was a common practice among other companies.

Meta isn’t lying, you should assume other companies are doing it too, Tesla did it with their cameras, and assume others like any company has access to your camera, I would even assume CCTV cameras too. It’s why for anything sensitive, try to use open source stacks, you might lose some of the features, but it’s a needed compromise.


> the order extended no-fly zones to ground vehicles belonging to the Department of Homeland Security. Even while the vehicles were in motion. Even if they were unmarked. And even if their routes had not been announced.

I want to know the genius who wrote this, and the mastermind who approved it.


Whoever it was knew exactly what they were doing, and it was intentional.

Or in other words: the cruelty is the point.

This is exactly how corrupt, authoritarian governments have always operated.

Do no-fly zones extend indefinitely upwards? If so, can you build a no-fly wall out of cars?

The federal government doesn't need a row of cars to make a no-fly wall.

As we learned in El Paso in February, if the federal government wants a no fly zone, it can just create one.


But if the no-fly zones are arbitrarily mobile, the drivers can create a no-fly wall without intervention from the federal government.

The article states 1,000 vertical feet. Obviously this is targeting small drones and not commercial aircraft or even general aviation.

Someone who doesn't get that we're supposed to have a representative government with enumerated powers in this country.

Or maybe they do get that, but find it incredibly inconvenient to their own aspirations.


Another downside of this, besides what’s mentioned, is people becoming insensitive about security, when they get to blindly do that process to install legitimate apps multiple times, it will be easier to trick them to install malicious ones, so you are not improving security at all.

Since covid, either way and whatever the event is, it will always be used to increase the prices on consumer’s goods: war, tweets, a giraffe died in Nairobi, it doesn’t matter, prices will go up and never down! It won’t stop unless people, the normal average people, go out in streets rioting against that.

It’s funny because I always tried to go into hardware side but I get pulled into the software or software and integration. I got myself learning fpga and pcb and all, tried to get into an exclusive hardware role, never got the chance, it also make things worse if you are in Canada since hardware opportunities aren’t that much, and either they have the hardware title but all you do is barely designing (for example, I applied before for a radar engineer and while interviewing it turned out they just procure radars, not building and designing), or a hardware role but requires a deep expertise in a very specific area that hard to acquire unless you are in the industry like some roles in AMD or Intel. But I always loved hardware more than software, and way before AI or even neo-tools like github and git existed, maybe because software is basically writing and I am not fan of writing in general, while hardware it’s more of component based logical thinking, who knows, but if I managed to get into the hardware I would definitely do.

SIM farms are devices with a lot of SIM cards aka numbers used to scam/flood victims numbers after these were acquired through ad companies, purchased these numbers online, etc.

The OP ones are actively scanning the vicinity and acting like BTS to connect to phones automatically, equipped with radio antennas, SDR, etc. to gather the victims numbers in real time and send them spam/phishing while the phones are connected to to these BTS

The real story is the government didn’t really care about users being spammed, you get those all the times and there’s little regulation to protect you (like preventing corporate from selling your number etc.), they cared because with these devices people can and will communicate outside of the approved channels, that also might be encrypted too, so harsh charges and make it as public as possible to deter others from doing the same, even if they were not in it to scam or phish people, and notice on the emphasis on “blocking the 911 calls!!” so jamming charges are there too.


It’s there to prevent “public panic” ie they weren’t after you specifically or after xyz group, but just random mass attacks, or to prevent more cases and parties to be involved

To add, ISED literally goes around in cars to scan for non registered BTS (or even non conforming ones) and report them, sometimes (or a lot of times) they catch false positives when the interference happens to be a strong LED lol. The gov uses the tech to ID individuals however, especially in group gatherings or around certain locations, always look around for big vans with no windows :), I either don’t take my phone or it’s always on airplane mode until I want to disable it briefly before activating it again.
