some carriers provide internet plans only for tablets.
i tried such a sim card in several devices - it did not connect. checked the apn on the tablet where it works. same.
as i understand the carrier only sees the imei, is there a way to find out if the device is a tablet or phone via imei number?

aaaaa this is an amazing possibility, if you want to transfer files from one host to the other without scp/rsync, just by using ssh. apparently, ssh can take data from standard input, so the pipeline works like this:
tar -cf - env/novation | ssh arnet.am "cd /tmp; tar -xf -"

Here’s where things start to go off the rails: what this means is that all of the DPRK’s national network is non-routable IP space. You heard me; they’re treating their entire country like some small to medium business might treat their corporate office. The entire country of North Korea is sitting on one class A network (16,777,216 addresses). I was always under the impression they were just pretending that they owned large blocks of public IP space from a networking perspective, blocking everything and selectively turning on outbound traffic via access control lists. Apparently not!

there were one network administrator, and he was saying than he is frustrated that Armenia did not ban free wifi spots. when i’ve asked why, he answered that there is a lot of crime happening because of free wifi spots, and he gets a lot of requests, even got request from interpol.
well, i believe it’s a way of thinking of policeman, not system administrator.
policeman wants to simplify it’s work, and putting everyone to cell they can decrease the probability of crime. by banning open windows they can decrease probability that some thief can use them. but it’s not a way of thinking of administrator. well, i believe it should not be.
when i came to work where i work now, i’ve learned a sentence from my colleagues: “we are not police, we are administrators.” i like it a lot.

my friend have been written a linux kernel module to count traffic which gets through his tor node.
https://github.com/edwardoid/nc_mod
counter data gets available to user as a file in /proc directory.

The author of this poster doesn’t know about decentralization. We have more people - we need more network nodes. It can be new jabber server or now diaspora pod, or new mail server. (:

so this is incredibly cool - mesh self orginizing phone network
http://www.servalproject.org/features
#serval #servalproject #batphone
The Serval Project – named after the problem-solving African wildcat – consists of two systems. The first is a temporary, self-organizing, self-powered mobile network for disaster areas, formed with small phone towers dropped in by air.
The second, and the one being tested in the outback, is a permanent system that requires no infrastructure and creates a mesh-based phone #network between #Wi-Fi enabled #mobile #phones, and eventually specifically designed mobile phones the researchers have called #Batphones, that can operate on unlicensed #frequencies.
So what I understand is that #Wayland just simply transfer bitmaps via #network, like #vnc does. On the other hand, #Xorg transfers some commands to draw primitives, and those primitives are drawed by another Xorg. This is the difference, right? Then, the question is - is it good or not? I mean is it a good design? What it gives us? That we cannot redraw primitives other way, for example. Like we cannot change our X to draw circles instead of rectangles. On the opposite, the same is bad: I cannot draw it a little differently. I cannot redefine primitives. Probably, I cannot use other X font server, as I can in case of X.
Richard #Stallman (the father of #GNU) believes that #society by accepting overt full time #tracking implicates the innocent who don’t carry a #phone as a full time tracking device as suspicious.
It works like this: For some reason, maybe you were cheating on your wife and visiting a girlfriend or just playing D&D with your nerd buddies near what unknown to you turns out to be a meth lab. After the cops bust the lab they do an audit of cell tower records a few months back and find you visiting at strange hours in the same vicinity, you are now suspected of being a top level drug dealer who is lying low after the lab bust. The cops finally get tired of you not selling drugs after following you for a few weeks probably with a good search warrant to tap phones and sneak&peek your house. They break the door with a SWAT team, shoot your dog, pepper spray your wife, cuff your kids, and haul you in. The cops offer to drag you through court and maybe even lie to get a conviction unless you turn in more drug dealers, they also can confiscate your home, vehicle and posessions with only suspicion that it was used in smuggling or selling #drugs.
Kinda makes you wish you had not carried you standard issue human #tracker with you everywhere not knowing if there was something suspicious that you might get tangled up in.
More likely is situations like the Arab spring(summer,fall, winter, spring, summere…) where governments may direct secret police to monitor the #mobile phone #network logs to track people.
Bing tinfoil hat about #privacy is like being tinfoil hat about the law, you never know when you will be mistaken as a much bigger fish than you actually are. I used to be a SWAT team medic, the busts we made were sometimes ridiculous, the way the family of the suspect were often treated was even worse, so yea, I got issued a tin plated kevlar helmet.

Do you remember #Napster? We’re still seeing the impact of the original #peer-to-peer file (read: music) sharing program today. According to Paul Gardner-Stephen, the power of music labels has diminished dramatically as a result of these kinds of activities.
