As always with attacks of this kind, it requires the air-gapped network to be first compromised through other means – such as a rogue insider, poisoned USB drives, or a supply chain attack – thereby allowing the malware to trigger the covert data exfiltration channel.

This goes on the list with other attacks that are interesting in an academic sense but highly impractical for real-world attacks, like Van Eck phreaking.

You have to deploy the malware that manipulates the RAM to get it to create the radio signal on the target system, and since we’re talking about an air-gapped system that means you have to be in the room with it already.

This article is light on specifics, but a RAM board is not an efficient radio antenna and it operates at 3-5v, so the transmission can’t be very strong. The receiver will have to be nearby, and in a relatively noise-free radio environment. Electrical wiring in the walls would mess with the signal transmission, the wall material might just block it, and if the target system is in a metal case that’s electrically grounded (which is normal for desktops and servers) I doubt the signal would get out of it. My guess is that the receiving antenna would need to be in the same room.

This is probably relevant:

Japan says China airspace incursion ‘serious violation of our sovereignty’

Japan wouldn’t be interested in an increased US military presence if they weren’t feeling threatened by their aggressive neighbor.

Yes, it’s the link in my comment above.

It’s a bad idea to compare Lemmy to Reddit or expect Lemmy to replace Reddit.

Slow growth is not a problem, it’s actually a benefit.

There is no hurry, and no need to push for high user counts.

Rather than trying to attract more people, focus on making your communities an attractive place to be.

Wait until you learn how molecular bonds work…

Is your counselor a vegan? You could use the session to test out some of your memes!

Birds of a feather.

Are we sure it’s not a werewolf being taken over by Venom?

The times doesn’t pay you royalties for your book sales, and it doesn’t cost you anything.

Of course they don’t pay, but getting on the list is fantastic advertising for your book and that pays.

They also detect if someone is messing with the system and display a dagger symbol if you are found to inflate your numbers.

Jack Rhysider’s research on this indicates otherwise.

This is basically the same way you get on the NYT bestseller list - buy your own books.

Well my comment was a response to the comment above, not to the article, and in the context of “Kamala’s Thoughts” it is relevant.

ravhall’s point is good, that if a Democrat tried to share their ideology this way the response would be overwhelmingly negative. But on the other hand, we have “Truth Social” which might as well be labeled “Trump’s Thoughts” because he uses it as his personal soapbox. Political candidates owning social media companies should be illegal.

And on the other side, Donald Trump owns a social network, and yet no shit storm.

How the fuck did ethics become so asymmetric?

Go on mate, pull the other one!

We should organize to disorganize.

Hmm… Putin has a lot of loyalists, but he’s losing popularity especially with Ukraine gaining territory inside Russia… I wonder, if he were arrested out of the country, would one of the other oligarchs step up and grab power?

Are friends necessary, or not really?

Unless you are independently wealthy, you will need the support of other people in your life. This is not avoidable - you must learn to live and work with other humans, and hopefully also enjoy their company.

The good news is that social skills are a thing that you can learn like any other skill. There are books about it, but the trouble with that is (1) advice in the book is cultural context dependent, and therefore most applicable in the time and place where the book was written, and (2) reading a book is an inherently non-social activity, and therefore not really contributing to developing the skill.

The best way to learn social skills is through observation and practice - which means that you will have to put yourself in situations that feel uncomfortable, until you learn enough that you become comfortable. This is a lot like learning to ride a bike - you feel clumsy, unsteady and slow at first but if you keep doing it you learn to stay balanced, and eventually it feels natural. You have to push yourself past the point of discomfort.

Thanks for pointing this out, I missed it. The book’s listing on CrowdSupply has an update from her from April of this year, so that makes me feel a bit better.

Telling someone else to risk their life is what an armchair warrior does. It’s what you are doing.
