Yes. Many years ago, I had a hot summer affair with Ayn Rand. Moaning with pleasure, I read “Atlas Shrugged” through (including 181-pages long programmatic monologue of John Galt). When I finished reading, I looked around, and said to myself, “No f… way!”

Historically, that was my turning point towards anarchism.

Just checking if there is any. ;-)

No prob. :-)

Having a choice between the Ukrainians and the Russian Empire (self-certified genocidal and literally fascist project) I still chose Ukrainians. Let alone the fact that my place is in the pipeline for Russian invasion, just after Moldova and Prybaltyka.

Every Russian politician, oligarch, soldier, agent, troll or useful idiot stopped or scared away by the Ukrainians is one less to deal with, when our time comes.

I respect your perspective, even if I do not share it.

Three time’s a charm…

Obviously the Ukrainians are proficient both in asymmetric warfare and psyops. Thing to learn.

And the point is?

I hope to make the data open via some kind of “federated telemetry network”, so essentially everyone will be able to access them. However, the main purpose is to run an early warning system for local and regional entities. Infrastructure and procedures will be tailored to this end.

I see three possibilities:

• A very stupid Russian “resistance” group.
• An element of internal struggle for influence in the power apparatus.
• A Russian spec operation (an expansion of the recent “thwarted assassination” of propagandists).

And probably all three at the same time.

And why don’t I believe Ukrainians are involved?

Ukraine’s entire style of warfare, including the pursuit of individual responsibility of the perpetrators of crimes by the prosecution and courts, is the exact opposite of political assassination tactics. Targeted killings of specific civilians off the battlefield are very politically damaging, and completely irrelevant tactically.

The main political winner of such an action is the Kremlin, which gets a sentimental story on a platter about ugly terrorists killing the children of philosophers. Whoever planned this action must have been aware of it.

Nice side project to implement with neighbourhood composting systems.

Yes, I visited Viome in Thessaloniki and met people from FraLib. I read a bit about Argentinian movement. However, my line of thought goes closer to the perspective of Angry Workers (see: https://www.angryworkers.org/2016/08/29/insurrection-and-production/, especially section d. The regional backbone of insurrection: empirical material about the structure of essential industries in the UK region). The difference is, they take a large-scale view and their perspective is (no wonder) workplace-centric. But they did a remarkable work nevertheless.

We will see how it is going to work. That’s what the test platform is for.

Yes. Sail and pole as backup option.

Hi, I am (at least temporarily) back. No time for chats, unfortunately. War demands attention and effort. But I am getting more active internationally again, so I may have some interesting things to publish (not necessarily just technology).

Definition of war footing: the condition of being prepared to undertake or maintain war

Or did I miss something? Could be as English is my 4th language…

So, now we are going to have war on climate, yes?

Absolutely!
