Can’t put the genie back in the bottle

Liberal? The “personal freedom from government” folks? I think you’re thinking of someone who is pro authoritarian. I could 100% see a tankie, fascist, or right-wing authoritarian agreeing with that.

Yeah, well, there’s also a warning label on Q-tips to not stick em in your ear canal.

The military is as concerned with civilian gps as much as they are with anything else that isn’t military-related: not their issue to solve. They won’t stop anyone from using encrypted gps. They really won’t. The only branch in the us that actively tries to prevent public encryption is the NSA. (Even then, they wouldn’t block something like gps). For the record, I’m a security engineer (DDI, private sector), previously worked for the DOD, and used to work in satcom.

The military didn’t design it for civilian use. That’s really all there is to it. The commenter I was replying to made it sound like theres an easy solution here. There isn’t.

If they shared the encryption keys, then it wouldn’t be safe from spoofing anymore. The whole point of encryption is to not share the keys.

Also, before someone tries to point out PKI, the satellites don’t use PKI. So that’s not relevant. You can’t share the current keys without jeopardizing the system.

Security through obscurity is not security

No

I use both Linux and Windows (Linux professionally, windows personally)

Got a buddy of mine that will wax on for hours about how windows is pointless and should have been replaced by Linux years ago. I’ll then go “Cool, so uh, did that game download yet? Lets play!” Then start up the game. Four hours later and he’s still trying to get the sound to work or make the graphics display while continuing his rant on how user friendly Linux is.

Like, Linux is great and all, but fuck me, it’s not user friendly.

Encrypted VPN between each side. IPSEC over GRE using 1024-bit AES encryption is more than enough.

Honestly though, if someones cracking IPSEC with any encryption against a random person then that’s already leagues more than any script kiddie is capable of and professional hackers don’t have the motive.

Me to, but in this case, I think it’s because of politics.

Instead of guessing, you could just… Google it. It’s about making harmful content unavailable to minors. I’m all for Internet freedom, but something makes me uncomfortable about protesting against protecting children from porn. It’s probably something to do with me seeing porn when I was young and it fucking me up for a long time.

Except In this specific case, it’s about measurements for tools. Fractional is far more practical for construction than decimal for tooling.

Except WTF is the next size up or down from 15/64??!!!

There’s lots of great reasons to switch to metric. Inability to do basic fractions isn’t one of them…

For the record, it would be 16/64, or, 1/4
