ThankQ Dan. We never quit, but we have to deal with issues that most will never have to deal with due to their concerns or because they haven't put themselves out there enough to be targeted. Here are the things that sidetracked my work:
Rigged OS updates that consumed disk space deprecating a machine.
Electrical Surges into home burning out $1200 monitor
Blacklisting = poverty, which means no resources, fix what you have instead of replace, walk everywhere, limited means for everything, bandwidth of a 64k baud modem to complete outages during the day.
Chemical Attacks that blind you for years
Police or Medical Institutions are not viable due to infiltration and could mean a death sentence, which means we have to endure the toxin sabotages.
and if you overcome all that and start to rebuild again, you find even open source software has been compromised purposely. Even certain Linux distros have issues they never had which are purposeful deterrence's.
Fonts resize until OS loads then you have to figure out that certain commands are no longer automatically run as the top 10 fixes do nothing.
Updates causes kernel crashes and OS no longer boots. Designed to cause people to start from scratch.
Then updates alter visual layouts again.
Most downloads have to be done multiple times over due to telecomms f'ing with your bandwidth which causes servers to terminate connections.
What takes a non targeted person 15-20 minutes to do, takes a targeted individuals 30-40 hours to do. We didn't give up, we never had a fair playing field and never got the support that we needed. Mission Forward, with or without. When I am done, I am going to bury the DS forever. Verticals.
