🚁 Low-Tech Meets High-Tech on the Battlefield

Ukraine continues to demonstrate an unconventional approach to counter-drone warfare by equipping FPV interceptor drones with simple poles to disable enemy reconnaissance UAVs.

* The tactic targets propellers and flight controls without using explosives.
* It provides a low-cost method of neutralizing drones worth tens of thousands of dollars.
* Similar interceptions have been documented throughout the war as both sides rapidly adapt their drone tactics.

Analyst Note: The war in Ukraine continues to prove that innovation often outweighs complexity. In modern drone warfare, a low-cost modification costing only a few dollars can effectively defeat significantly more expensive aerial systems.

@TaelurAlexis When I bought bitcoin I used coinbase but the couple of day holds to transfer to my own wallet was annoying.
It was slow but reliable in my experience.

Reports of Alaska Airlines (AS) requesting the FAA to ground their entire mainline fleet are emerging. It looks to be a systemwide IT issue as this banner is displayed on their website. We’re looking for details.

@zzzztoken Didn't actually learn vim for a long time because I just got used to nano until I started having to use machines where I wasn't allowed to nano. My hot take is nano is better than vim for most quick edits

[Jack? @jackonstaley]

@zzzztoken Pretty sure the first time I used vim per instructions I was fallowing I got stuck and just closed the terminal then redid everything in nano

[Signal @signalapp]

Right now there are a lot of new eyes on Signal, and not all of them are familiar with secure messaging and its nuances. Which means there’s misinfo flying around that might drive people away from Signal and private communications.

One piece of misinfo we need to address is the claim that there are ‘vulnerabilities’ in Signal. This isn’t accurate. Reporting on a Pentagon advisory memo appears to be at the heart of the misunderstanding: https://t.co/QfWgOxHAzp. The memo used the term ‘vulnerability’ in relation to Signal—but it had nothing to do with Signal’s core tech. It was warning against phishing scams targeting Signal users.

Phishing isn’t new, and it’s not a flaw in our encryption or any of Signal’s underlying technology. Phishing attacks are a constant threat for popular apps and websites.

In order to help protect people from falling victim to sophisticated phishing attacks, Signal introduced new user flows and in-app warnings. This work has been completed for some time and is unrelated to any current events. If you’re interested in learning more, this WIRED article from February 19th (over a month ago) goes into more detail:
https://t.co/xvVVdPDhSs

Signal is open source, so our code is regularly scrutinized in addition to regular formal audits. We also constantly monitor [email protected] for any new reports, and we act on them with quickness while also working to protect the people who rely on us from outside threats like phishing with warnings and safeguards.

This is why Signal remains the gold standard for private, secure communications.
