Mesh networking: how you communicate when China censors the internet.
How do you communicate when the government censors the internet? With a peer-to-peer mesh broadcasting network that doesn’t use the internet.
That’s exactly what Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters are doing now, thanks to San Fransisco startup Bridgefy’s Bluetooth-based messaging app. The protesters can communicate with each other — and the public — using no persistent managed network.
The app can connect people via standard Bluetooth across an entire city, thanks to a mesh network. Chatting is speediest with people who are close, of course, within a hundred meters (330 feet), but you can also chat with people who are farther away. Your messages will simply “hop” via other Bridgefy users’ phones until they find your intended target.
That’s incredibly futuristic
Pi Zero W is $10 and has built in Bluetooth connectivity. You can find Solar USB Power Packs for ~$25. So for less than $50 and a little time investment to load some programs you can have an autonomous bluetooth repeater. I think they only run at Class 2 or 2.5mw so 10 meter range… but there are DIY solutions to amplify it to Class 1 for 100 meter range. But even at 10 meters, given this sort of program uses a packet delivery system, if you are constantly on the move you’re effectively a postman for the system as it will transmit every time it comes in range of another compatible program.

just another horrible day in my bad fucking life
I don't see what the-- oh gosh
certified door post
A friendly lad my friend's character seems to keep encountering in our Delta Green Game. I'm sure it's fine.
dog believers: we have faith that abraham left this for us
dog atheists: we can scientifically prove that abraham does not exist
dog agnostics: we don't know how this dog shit could have gotten in this locked room

this memorial day bong rip is in honor of the brave US servicemen who died during the raid on Innsmouth, Massachusetts
Last night I finished a year-long Delta Green campaign. In the end I was corrupted by the King In Yellow and rewrote the play to contain a nested recursive play within it. One of the other investigators chose to hurl himself out of a window. Good times!
Conspiracy / Parapolitical Pickups at Half-Price Books
Fletcher Prouty's JFK: The CIA, Vietnam and The Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy
Government of the Shadows: Parapolitics and Criminal Sovereignty, edited by Eric Wilson
Scholarly parapolitics at the used book store??
Some vintage paperback pickups, The Kennedy Wit, a collection of JFK being charming and funny. Also, J. Edgar Hoover's Masters of Deceit, an anti-communist screed by the Director himself.
The Hoffa Wars: Teamsters, Rebels, Politicians and The Mob by Dan E. Moldea
I recently read Dan Moldea's Dark Victory, about Reagan and MCA, so I'm interested in his work on Hoffa. Lisa Pease said he's a limited hangout about RFK and is somehow mob dirty himself but Dark Victory did have some teeth to it. Haven't dug into that but do generally trust her takes.

The future of search engines
These are the AI overviews that shows up at the top when you by run a normal Google search.
I got fascinated by Impossible Landscapes so I read through the Delta Green rule book and a few other modules (including God’s Teeth).
Lemme tell ya, it’s a lot of fun to have the realization slowly dawn like… oh, that’s why people love this system so much. That’s why Delta Green (and Call of Cthulhu) fans are so enthusiastic and dedicated.
This shit rocks
I was really resistant to Delta Green at first because it looked, frankly, extremely crunchy, and in a way I sort of dreaded engaging with. Impossible Landscapes is so cool that I was willing to do so anyway, but nothing about the system itself excited me.
But after reading it, I feel very differently. Turns out it’s a surprisingly straightforward d100 roll-under system with faster-than-you’d-expect character creation and a sanity system that is almost shockingly elegant in its design. Yeah there are a lot of fiddly specific edge case rules but those are only going to apply in niche situations, and even then, only if you really feel like you need to ratchet up the tension—otherwise you can often handle things with just basic skill, stat, or even luck rolls.
But that sanity system. A carefully-tuned simulation of someone’s trauma and obsessions gradually ruining their life, damaging their relationships, and leading them to take refuge in the only other people who can understand what they’re going through: their fellow Delta Green agents, people just as broken and falling apart as they are.
It’s a death spiral, by design. Your agent will not win this war. Your agent’s life will be measurably worse at the end of every operation. But you keep going, because even if you’re doomed, the people you love don’t have to be. Welcome to Delta Green.
It’s so juicy
