So, I was curious about the history of SS7, the protocol that every country is using to spy on US citizens.
I found this article helpful:

Basically, it was created in the 70's, and active exploits have been around since 2014.

Another thing that NPR thinks is less newsworthy than Biden's pardon of his son is that Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, just sent Donald Trump $18,000,000.
Sun made the payment by purchasing tokens from a Trump-backed crypto company.
Priorities are clear imo.

as a sysadmin this so much. It’s one thing to say "oopsie something went wrong" and provide a button for the professionals to see where it went wrong and it’s another to just not provide any diagnostic information so I get to debug a black box.
