It's and SMD led on a main board of the drone (at least on DJI ones) and the whole board is quite a complex computer with a ton of RF tech, power limitations and whatever is included to make those things both safe and fun for your average consumer. For a skilled operator it's not a problem to pull out the led and wire it to a transistor, but you need to pull the whole drone apart, somewhat sophisticated tools to solder wires to the led contact points, reassemble the whole thing excactly as it were and then connect that to the external harness.

Or, you can just bend the frame out of chicken wire, twist wires together and secure them with a tape or hot glue, zip-tie that to a drone and you're good to go. I think in Ukraine they use a ton of 3d-printed stuff which makes it more reliable and even easier to assemble. That way you don't risk breaking the drone and you can prefab pretty much the whole thing and just send them out to the field where practically anyone can assemble it even on standing in a mud puddle and have successful results within minutes from pulling a new drone out of a box.

While you are of course correct on this, the amount of waste and environmental damage Russia is causing by blowing up dams and pretty much leaving a trail of garbage where ever they go combined with the pollution and wasted resources on burning fuel (both in engines and otherwise), destroying buildings and everything else going on, the couple truckloads of small LiFePo batteries on drones aren't even a rounding error in the equation.

I'm not an expert on what residual materials come from burning batteries, but I'm willing to bet that plastic from pretty much everything on the field has a bigger environmental affect, even the drones themselves are mostly just a plastic shell with very little of anything else in them.

It's not even electrical output. They mount harness to the drone carrying payload with a 9V battery (or whatever) with a light sensitive resistor positioned over the auxiliary light. When the light turns on the payload is released with a motor/solenoid/something running from that battery on the harness and it doesn't require any modification to the drone itself.

Tuollahan tuo jutussa erikseen mainitaan:

Onko näin, että tähän asti tutkinnassa olevien tapausten taustalta ei ole ilmennyt valtiollista toimijaa?

– Aika moni näistä selvittelyistä ja tutkinnoista on kesken. Sitä taustaa vasten ei kannata vielä tehdä johtopäätöksiä.

– Selvitettyjen tapausten tiimoilta ei ole tiedossa [että taustalla olisi valtiollinen toimija]. Siellä on voinut olla esimerkiksi liikkuvaa rikollisuutta.

Ja toisekseen ei poliisilla taida olla intressejä, tai syytä sen puoleen, kertoa tutkimuksistaan kovin tarkkaan. Ja eipä siellä nyt aina tarvitse valtiollisen toimijan olla takana, ihan perus kuparivarkaat ja muut pienemmät koijaritkin varmasti ovat keksineet että droneilla on näppärä käydä tutkimassa paikkoja ilman että tarvitsee itse mennä kameroiden ulottuville.

Hakkeriuutisia en ole lukenut, mutta kommentoin saman uutisen ketjuun linux@lemmy.ml:n puolella ja siellä on ainakin äänekäs vähemmistö, jos ei jopa enemmistö, sitä mieltä että nyt ihan syyttä suotta tehdään kiusaa viattomille venäläiskoodareille, tai ainakin jos sanktioita jaellaan niin sitten pitäisi sulkea ulos myös jenkit, saksalaiset, palestiina ja/tai israel ja läjä muita.

Kommunikointi taas tämän päätöksen takana on vähän niin ja näin, mutta Torvalds nyt ei muutenkaan ole tunnettu siitä että keskustelu olisi aina viimeisen päälle sliipattua ja asiallista. Jos joku muu olisi tehnyt ihan kylmän asiallisen lehdistötiedotteen tapaisen että sanktioista yms johtuen homma menee nyt näin niin lieskat ei olisi varmaankaan aivan yhtä isot.

Phobia, by definition, is uncontrollable, irrational, and lasting fear for something. In the current geopolitics situation I'd say that it's not uncontrollable and very much not irrational. Fear, as a fellow Finn, might be a bit strong word, but it's a definetly a concern.

When I first read that I thought that the response is a bit harsh, as Russian (and Soviet Union) individuals have traditionally been a big part of open source community and their achievements on computing are pretty significant, but when you dig a bit deeper on that, a majority of Soviet era things are actually built by Ukrainians in Kyiv (obviously Ukraine as a country wasn't a thing back then).

Also, based on my very limited sight on the matter, Russians are not banned from contributing, but this is more of an statement that anyone working for the government in Russia can't be a part of kernel development team. There's of course legal reasons for that, very much including the trade bans against Russia, but also the moral part of it, which Linus seems to take a stand on.

Personally I've seen individuals at Russia to do quite amazing feats with both hardware and software, but as none of us are in a void without any external infcluence nor affect, I think that, while harsh, the "sanctions" (for a lack of better word) aren't overshooting anything, but they're instead leveling the playing field. Any Joe Anynymous could write a code which compromises the kernel as a whole, but should that Joe live in Russia, it might bring a government backed team which can hide their tracks on a quite a bit different level with their resources than any individual could ever even dream about.

So, while that decision might slow down some implementations and it might include some of the most capable of developers, the fear that one of them might corrupt the whole project isn't unreasonable and, with ongoing sanctions in place (and legal requirements that follow) the core dev team might not even have a choice on this.

In current global environment we're living in, I'd rather have a bit too careful management than one which doesn't take things seriously enough. We already have Canonical and others to break stuff way too often, we don't need malicious government to expand on that with nefarious purposes which could compromise a shit on of stuff on a very fundamental level if left unattended.

Ja kunnon poronkäristyksen jälkeen heti seuraavana kunnon karjalanpaisti. Sekin tietysti perunamuusin ja puolukkahillon kera. Hyvin samantyyppisiä ruokia molemmat, mutta poronkäristys vie tässä taistossa kyllä voiton, vaikka kunnolla tehty karjalanpaisti vie sekin kielen mennessään.

Jos jotain muuta pitäisi sanoa niin rosvopaisti. Ei mitään käryä miten suomalainen ruoka se perimmiltään mahtaa olla, mutta muutaman kerran on tullut tehtyä oikein onnistunutta paistia maakuopassa ja onhan se aivan järjettömän hyvää. Nauta toimii erinomaisesti, mutta erityisesti on jäänyt mieleen muutaman vuoden takaa rosvona tehty hirvipaisti, jota piti syödä pääasiassa lusikalla.

Ja toisena "muuna" ehdokkaana routapaisti. Senkään alkuperästä ei mitään hajua, mutta leivinuunissa tehtynä aivan jumalaista tavaraa. Samaten kuin leivinuunissa mikä vain liharuoka, mutta ne menee sitten lähinnä hienostelluksi rosvopaistiksi.

Plus tietty karjalanpiirakat. Eikä mitään kaupan vakuumipakattua höttöä vaan ihan alusta lähtien kotona tehdyt ja rypytetyt. Pikkusiivu voita lämpimän piirakan kylkeen ja ääntä kohti. Ja sitten kun noita jumalaisia suupaloja on pakki täynnä niin vähän juustoa päälle ja toinen samanlainen setti perään.

No, nyt myöhemmin olisi kai jokin trafi kurssi suoritettava ja mitä kaikkea, mutta silti, hämmästyttää kuinka helppoa olisi vaan ostaa laite ja lentää kuvaamaan aivan mitä vain.

Kurssi pitää suorittaa, varsinkin kamerallisiin droneihin, mutta eipä niitä kukaan ihan oikeasti valvo kuin harvoissa tapauksissa. Naapurin rouvaa auringonotossa tai viereistä varuskuntaa ei tietenkään saa kuvata, mutta etenkin kaupunkialueella (missä on taustahälyä) 200 metristä tuommoinen pieni drone on ainakin paljaalla silmällä (ja korvalla) melkoisen haastava löydettävä, varsinkin jos ei edes älyä aktiivisesti etsiä. Toisekseen etenkin FPV-dronet kulkee sen verran lujaa ja kuvaavat vauhdissakin varsin kelvollista materiaalia niin veikkaisin että keskiverto varuskunnan ehtii kuvata ja paeta paikalta ennenkuin kukaan ehtii hätiin. Eri asia sitten mitä sillä kuvalla tekee, kun ei siellä ihan taivasalla mitään salaisuuksia säilytetä.

Ihan terrorismitarkoituksessahan nuo on sitten aika karmaisevia vehkeitä. Ukrainasta tulee jatkuvalla syötöllä videota mitä ihan kaupallisellakin DJIn vehkeellä voi tehdä, kunhan omistaa 3d-printterin, juotoskolvin ja läjän käsikranaatteja. Isommista sotilasräjähteistä ja kustomirakennetuista droneista tietysti puhumattakaan.

Mutta lainsäädännön kannalta olen sitä mieltä, että nykyinen käytäntö on ihan hyvä. Tekniikka noissa on niin yksinkertaista ja vapaasti saatavilla, ettei tuo kissa mene enää takaisin pussiin ja toisekseen jos säännöt vedetään ihan ääripäähän niin niitä ei sitten noudata tavan sukankuluttajatkaan ja rikollisia säännöt ei tietysti muutenkaan paljon kiinnosta. Salakatselutapauksia en ainakaan muista uutisista nähneeni ja jos dronet kiellettäisiin pelkästään tirkistelyn estämiseksi niin on niille kalsarinhaistelijoille keinoja muutenkin tarjolla, ei tarvitse opetella lentämään äänekästä vehjettä kun voi teipata actionkameran onkivapaan.

Näin on. Leppoisia päiviä heille, ketkä ovat vielä jäljellä ja luottamusta sekä toivoa siitä että uusia veteraanisukupolvia ei tähän maahan enää tule.

And a big screen. Not necessarily 'living room tv' big, but definetly big enough that I can't fit that in my pocket.

Treat it like an elephant you want to eat. One small piece at the time. I've unlocked tear 7 right now and have zero pieces for next stage of the space elevator even planned. I've spent evenings just running around, gathering mercer spheres, somersloops and hard drives. Spent few hours here and there on ziplining on power lines and setting up radar towers across the map (while gathering spheres, somersloops and drives), accumulated few stacks of various remains and just having fun on exploring the map.

Today I had few hours to spare on my save world and ran into an issue where my power network went down. I originally planned that I'd unlock nuclear power but instead I needed to debug my fuel generation farm (where majority of my power is coming from) and I found that I missed a belt on half of the refineries so they got filled with resin and after fixing that I found out that I might have miscalculated something since not all the generators became online, but that might be just that it takes a while to fill the pipes, so that's a chore I need to take care of at some point before proceeding.

But if that doesn't feel like fun I can run around and tinker with my other factories, install smart power switches so that I can keep the power generation on and at least some production running and keep the lights on in general. And when that's been taken care of I have still a ton of map to explore, a lot more tinkering to do (turbofuel power plant would be nice) and so on.

And that's what I've been doing so far. I'm just enjoying the gameplay. End game parts are a bit of a pain to mange, but I can split all of those into manageable parts and work with them whenever I feel like it. Like having enough copper sheets to run my computer production. I started on grassy fields and ran everything I need from couple of nodes from there with mark1 miners. That didn't take me too far, but I've had my fun on upgrading the existing stuff. Tearing down all the 'old' stuff from the start and building them up better, or just upgrading the bare minimum to get to the steamed sheets or something else.

Late game stuff requires a lot, but I've just ignored it and tinkered on with what I have and I have a ton of room to improve pretty much everything. Eventually I of course move on to the late game stuff, but before that I'm just having fun on trying different build styles, figuring out efficient use of blueprints, hunting down more spheres and loops and so on.

I know some people are just speedrunning the whole thing and others who meticulously plan every step even before starting the game and run it with a spreadsheet on second monitor, but my play style is just to do whatever feels like fun at the time. Sometimes it means to jerryrig an existing factory to accept mark2/3 miners, other times it means tearing down whatever I already had and doing it better and sometimes I just enjoy the world and gather more DNA capsules.

You do whatever you find fun, it's a game after all and rushing it to the finish line, at least for me, isn't the most important thing. I have only limited number of hours I can sink to this and if it's not fun then it's not worth of my time. I stopped previous save a bit before coffeestain froze the updates and started to focus on 1.0. I was almost finished everything, but forcing myself to build a mess just to complete another stage wasn't really fun anymore and I didn't even think of the game for a half a year or so. Obviously the 1.0 release was a big part of it, but if you feel like it, just create signs or other clues to help you get back and let it sit for a while if you feel like it.

NAS stands for 'Network Attached Storage' and there's dedicated hardware for that task from multiple brands. It's a somewhat spesific thing and from what I understand you have a multi-purpose server running on your network. For discussion it's better to use the established terminology to avoid confusion on what's what. Your generic server can of course act like a NAS, but a 100€ Synlogy NAS can't (for the most part) act as a generic server.

Similarly there's a dedicated hardware for routers and they are not the same than generic servers which can run whatever. Dedicated routers do some things way better/faster than generic server, and there's pretty much always a trade-off between the two. You can of course install hardware to your server to be as good as or even better than any consumer grade router and run a pfsense on virtual machine on top of it, but that's going to be at least more expensive than dedicated hardware.

So, your server is running pihole in a container on the same network address/hardware than the rest of your server, and I suppose you already gathered from other messages that the firewall component on it treats traffic coming from outside the server itself differently than traffic originating from the server itself. For this spesific case I'd say it's just simpler to configure the server to use DNS server as localhost:1053 than trying to work out firewall forwarding rules for it, if possible. If not, and you absolutely insist that your pihole runs on a unprivileged port and that your server also has to use pihole as DNS sever, then you need to dig out a firewall config for outgoing traffic which redirects the destination port. Or you could set up a dns proxy on the server which uses pihole as upstream and serves addresses to localhost only or one of the other multiple ways to achieve what you're after, but each of those have some kind of trade-off and there's too many to go trough in a single post.
