Ping to all. Jim, you have physical disabilities, so please have someone around that can readily assist you.
To all: See you on the other side, if things go south. If not, see you tomorrow! :)
👍
Thanks Laz. We are going into the fray one way or the other. Its just a matter of time.The China play is next.
We’re all going to diet!
I’ve got the Kraken.
Good to see you about. Just wish we were jokingly discussing what to hit rather than the current situation.
Bump
I would go a step further and suggest that any and all accounts that support MFA, now is the time to enable it. Also learn how to leverage TOR along with VPN. And double plus support for PiHole and DNSCrypt if you can make it work. Your DNS searches are open text without them.
I don’t share directly in your pessimism, Laz, but I do believe in being prepared. I’m also the first to admit that I’m a chronic sufferer of normalcy bias.
I’m not pessimistic! Not in the slightest.
I am, however, prudent.
MFA?
What is that?
(Search revealed “Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) - Microsoft Security”
If so...sounds like a GREAT suggestion.)
Add this, cash is king if electronic goes down, most people don’t even have much just laying around these days because a card is so convenient.
Go to the bank and withdraw some of your savings, or however you can and set it aside. When things calm down you can just put it back, but a $20 will still get you food and supplies at a local Bodega, so will a silver dollar.
I have seen the internet go down here many times and the sign gets hung up on the door: CASH ONLY. I have watched so many people just get in a huff and storm off. I can only imagine how bad it will be when EVERYWHERE has this sign hung up, and the anxiety, fear and anger takes over when Billy Bob runs out of cigarettes and beer and has no way to get it and reality then sets in for him, especially in your more heavily urban neighborhoods when many families only HAVE a card given to them and cash is not even am option.
Great photo AND tagline!
Wise to be aware and concerned with this now. There is more risk now from Russia messing with us.
You missed an important one. Have your cars remote handy. Any issues, you set off the car alarm so neighbors know to help neighbors.
“You mess with one of us, you just messed with ALL of us…”
Putin doesn’t need a cyber war for FR, it’s already largely one of his many left and right mouthpieces...
It is good to every few years read your profile page.
Jeff Nyquist in the article I posted last night (and he’s said it in other articles) that a source has told him that, behind the scenes, Russia has explicitly threatened to take out our power grids and other infrastructure with cyber attacks in the event we place sanctions (which has happened).
