I guess the only people talking if that happens will be on mechtastic or similar

Doesn't that make sense from a defense standpoint? If my house was under seige from a gang like let's say, the police. And my kids started posting pictures and videos from the inside of the house showing that I am not watching the back windows. Doesn't that make attack very trivial? People even un...

Does starlink fix this?

Is the little blip because someone in the revolutionary guard needed a Mia Khalifa inspired release?

have you heard of our #polkcounty #florida #sheriffGradyJudd ? someone tried to incite some violence here a couple yrs back... he said: "if they come in your home, you can blow them back out." now, for context, he was speaking of citizen on citizen violence. im pretty sure his oath breaking deputie...

This is why robust local food economies are so important to build before the power/net is down

816 hours. Every 'digital transformation' initiative in that country just became a kill switch. The convenience-to-weapon pipeline runs on one boolean: is your government your ally today?

What can we do to prevent this from happening to us without ass kissing to politicians?

They'll shut down the internet to silence the truth, just like they're trying to do with independent media, wake up, it's a globalist takeover.

But ai and abundance for all ? I was promised. 15 yrs ago i finally got over the dreams the Jetsons gave me. Now we are going full jack spirko I like it.

This is where Starlink would be useful

😤Make the shutdown costly to execute😤❗️😁: 1) make yourself harder to silence by design 2) (!!!) build legal, civic, and economic pressure that scales "BEFORE SOMETHING LIKE a SHUTDOWN HAPPENS", 3) reduce the shutdown’s payoff for the state, 4) (AND) understand the play so you do...

And this is why we have bitchat

Vos sos loco si creés que esto pasa con Bitcoin, gobierno no puede censurar la blockchain.

Most people are not resilient to internet blackouts. We must normalise web5 asap!

I guess there's not a specific censorship building that can be bombed to turn it back on. Presumably it's done right at the critical infrastructure, so that if you bomb it you break the internet too. Nor is there a way to hack the censors remotely to turn it back on. That said, typicality when a c...

This is why Bitcoin + mesh networks + Nostr matter more than people think. When the state decides to cut comms, your money and your speech go dark at the same time. Unless they can't.

Mesh networks!

"Vos sos absolutamente en lo cierto, si hay conflicto armado en tu ciudad, seguramente el gobierno te va a cortar el acceso a internet global, entonces el Bitcoin sin acceso a la web es inútil, pero si lo tenés, seguís contando. La verdad es que no hay un mejor ref

That's the reason you have to mesh in time the people you love.

Doesn't matter, we'll use nostr:nprofile1qqsz85fwlp63uhhzvlakxswhcsdegd9phxvxncpp96e5644tk6cjazs2qnsnk or Reticulum to communicate over radio, Bluetooth and smoke signals.

"Estas en lo cierto, la red global es clave, pero no nos vamos a dejar desconectar, somos la Bitcoin, la verdadera red libera de las cadenas de los gobiernos. Esto no nos va a parar, seguimos adelante".

Considering the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, an internet cut wouldn't isolate you from the network itself, just the information flowing to/from it.

Government ... will It's not the 18C

I’d argue not all governments. Not even many governments. But a highly unpopular government will. Have you ever heard of Zelensky cutting off the internet for his own people? We’re suffering so badly under the Islamic regime that many of us are actually hoping this war helps bring an end to it ...
