Peace and freedom are in danger because of authoritarians like Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Xi, Orban. All people on planet Earth would have a prosperous life if they would disappear without a next bunch of wannabee dictators like JD Vance, Wilders, Le Pen jumping in and gaslighting the dumb crowd. A crowd that should get some history lessons from the 20th century.

Bummer for ISAR Aerospace. Launch mishap for Spectrum rocket from Andoya Space Center.

People spreading lies about Tesla are threatened by Elon that Trump's legal arm is coming for them. What happened with the absolute FOS? Tesla stock is overrated by 1 order of magnitude. Cybertaxi is Sillytaxi. Cybertruck is glued together. Just true statements.

Theory is that Mike Waltz' phone was hacked and hacker invited Atlantic Journalist into the Signal chat group where the attack on the houthi's in Yemen was coordinated. My guess is also that we will see more Signal chats appear in the future.

Fascinated and horrified by the fact that a secretary of defense of a large nation with lots of nuclear arms has way worse ethics concerning OPSEC than a simple Space engineer like myself

Starting in exactly a week from now, chat app Signal will have a SCIF option

If Elon Musk would use Lightning Network for twitter, he could be right about getting his platform to be able to become half of the financial system. But that is not what he wants, he wants full control and with LN and BTC, that is not what you get. He already found out about this a few years ago when he started saying that BTC should get bigger blocks and have more transactions/sec and more of that ignorant stuff people interacting with BTC start to say in the beginning of a typical BTC journey. Then, after some time, either you start to understand what BTC really is, or you divert into silly stuff like dogecoin promotion and buying twitter with Saudi money. I think his next step is making an '$X' coin on Solana.

Removed: Instagram & facebook Replaced twitter by nostr Replacing whatsapp by signal Replacing gmail by proton When my 13 year old windows laptop dies, it will be ubuntu #dropbigtech #stopfascism #embracefreedom

This Raspberry pi used to be my BTC and LN node. Now it is being used for Optical Communication technology testing for satellites

Nice splashdown of the Crew Dragon in the Gulf of East Russia

As the 'stranded' astronauts get back from the ISS to Earth, views from the SpaceX control room show a lot of inefficient people, just chatting away their salaries they get from poor uncle Elon. DOGE has work to do.

The Israeli government are war criminals and should be brought to justice for genocide.

Open access secure global communication technology will be enabled by space based satellites running Lightning Network nodes that you pay per bit with BTC, and DIY hardware for a ground terminal. This will be great for global FOS, i.e. being able to say what you want without the risk of a government that can stop and/or censor you. The only drawback is that criminals get the same capability.

At anytime in the past, I would have stepped into a SpaceX Crew Dragon. But not now. Recently, falcon9 had several issues with 2nd stages and lost a first stage after landing. Also, Starship FT7 and FT8 went wrong and human resources were shifted from F9 to SS. And Elon Musk used to be cheering people up but I would guess that SpaceX workers are not happy with their neofascist company owner. He is too busy with chopping things up, for example NASA. The agency that is his client. All in all, I would not trust my life in the hands of this company now. Godspeed crew10!

What will happen to Exomars and its partnership with NASA, while NASA is being slaughtered by the DOGE? Time to move to Ariane 6 and hire the fired JPL team for helping out with the landing?
