Кстати кличка Клапауциуша это имя генияльного инжинера из классики польской научной фантастики - "Сказки роботов" Станислава Лема https://librebook.me/skazki_robotov

На пикабу пишет один очень грамотный автор по кличке Klapaucjusz, знаток славянских языков, которого очень интересные и забавны рассказы об этимологии русских, польских и других слов всегда читаю с большим интересом.

Вот например:

Someone backdoored official #php distro to execute custom code if an app is accessed with User-Agent containing "zerodium" string... 🤔

I'm not a radio guy, so discovery of how spread-spectrum (DSSS) and frequency-hopping (FHSS) work, literally below the radio noise levels was one of the "wow" moments a few years ago, when you literally discover a technology that is so clever that before you dig into it basically is close to magic.

How GPS navigation works was another one of these "wow" technologies and I strongly recommend reading/watching how it *actually* works, as it contains an impressive amount of human ingenuity.

This little crap #lorawan beacon with 3 cm antenna and powered by a single 18650 cell was heard from Pen-y-Fan peaks (next to the green "B...n" icon in the middle, stands for Brecon) at the coast of Irish Sea (far to the left).

After checking on a map I got... distance of 80 km! 😮

For reference, this was SF12BW125 so the slowest LoRaWAN rate where ~50 bytes took 1.4 sec to transmit, but this apparently gives pretty impressive distance.

Military coup in Myanmar kills over 320 people, and then organizes a military parade to celebrate victory.

Where's the deputy minister of Russia?

Of course, at the military parade in Myanmar, shaking hands with the generals who organised the coup d'etat, while Russian media explains "it wasn't really a coup d'etat"...

Polish church edits its online transmission from Sunday mass to pretend social-isolation is being enforced 😂 Basically, they pasted static photos with empty benches on the left and on the right, while center shows actual video.

For Polish readers: that's bazylika św. Małgorzaty w Nowym Sączu

And this is the Evergreen ship photographed from International Space Station by cosmonaut Sergey Kud-Sverchkov:

I see these fantastic Huawei E8372 modems are no longer very popular on eBay and just wondering if there's anything better on the market these days?

I need:

* 4G/LTE modem
* with Wi-Fi access point
* and external MIMO antenna sockets (!)

Plenty of E3372 (no Wi-Fi) and E8372 with no antenna connectors sold, but I need specifically to connect a high-gain antenna in the mountains.
