Government secrecy is spooky. If you’d like to ensure that officials are accountable, first you need to know what they’re doing. Support EFF to defend freedom of information and uphold digital rights for all! https://www.eff.org/summer

AV1 is an open source & royalty-free video codec developed by the ​Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), a non-profit industry consortium. Depending on the use case, AV1 can achieve about 30% higher compression efficiency than VP9, and about 50% higher efficiency than H.264.

FFmpeg currently supports three AV1 encoders.
- libaom (libaom-av1)
- SVT-AV1 (libsvtav1)
- rav1e (librav1e)

IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS is the new captcha.

Cloned https://github.com/antirez/dump1090, ran make, ran `./dump1090 --interactive --net` and BOOM, ADS-B on my Mac with a whip antenna on RTL-SDR v4 (v3 might be better, better antenna would definitely be better).

Radio is magical. Need to figure out what flight platform to send to.

How many GitHub stars do you have? 🧑🏽‍💻🤔

Urchin was the best. Early GA was okay but Google made it worse and worse as the years wore on :(

"The NCC Group Global Threat Intelligence team has been made aware of significant compromise of
the TeamViewer remote access and support platform by an APT group. Due to the widespread usage
of this software the following alert is being circulated securely to our customers."

NCC Group can't disclose the source at the time and keep investigating this. Big source, but no substance. Curious to see how this will work out. ping @campuscodi @screaminggoat
