Which threats and treaties, specifically? I don't have a great memory - so please share actual sources. Also, are you aware of this?: https://www.armscontrol.org/act/2019-09/news/us-completes-in...
Here are a few. https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polytics/3503924-president-...

I'm not a NATO strategist or anything, so I'm adding this as a child comment, but I think the big story in the GPS/aviation world these days is probably Russia's n̵e̵a̵r̵-̵c̵o̵n̵s̵t̵a̵n̵t̵ frequent jamming of GPS over Poland, Finland, Sweden, Estonia, and Lithuania. Degrading and even neutralizing strategic infrastructure in EU and NATO countries, significantly affecting commercial aviation at the least, is a big dea…
It should be a big story, as should be the fact that Russia invaded a peaceful neighboring country and keeps murdering, raping and torturing its residents. But somehow much of the world pretends not to notice and only does whatever is convenient at the moment (buy Russian oil/gas, do business in Russia, stay "neutral", etc). I find it incredibly depressing, I thought that surely in the 2020s our civilization would ha…
That doesn't mean people don't care about the people though. Human suffering is always bad.

Apparently people now call using Google's advanced search operators Dorking, neat! I guess I've been dorking for a while. Most of us know about "site:" since it's extremely handy, but there are a lot more. For some reason I had it in my head that many of the documented operators didn't work properly -- or at least I couldn't get them to work properly the last time I tried to experiment. I'll have to try again.
There was a very recent "bug" in Search where the site: operator stopped working for a little bit and everybody in the OSINT community had a bit of a meltdown - https://www.digitaldigging.org/p/search-alert-google-filetyp... The date operators from: to: I think have been unsupported for a while and replaced with a dropdown in the UI filetype: is a fave and has been working for as long as I can remember AROUND(number)…
At least in the last year, looks like "inurl", "intitle", and "intext" have all been getting a lot of use.
Also, a lot of "index of". "db.py", "store", "secret", "ec2 -aws", "mysql inurl:./db/", ect... in combination. Must be a lot of low hanging fruit in the orchard.

every few weeks they're threttening to nuke some country, i think there's nothing that can be called excalation at this point (except the obvious idea to retaliate with guns, but that's a very bad idea).
Can you provide sources where they actually threaten to nuke anyone out of the blue (excluding Medvedev, he’s especially nuts)? All I can find is them clarifying their nuclear policy when pressed about it (would only use in situation of existential threat). Which seems less bellicose than US policy (as the US changed ours not long ago, seemingly allowing for first strike which is pretty insane): https://www.armscontr…

That is not an unbiased primary source in the slightest.
Is BFMTV also biased when reporting words directly from the mouth of Piotr Tolstoi or are you just trolling ?
I've been working on mapping GPS jamming using ADS-B data for a couple years, and I'll try to address questions and points brought up here based on what I know. Relevant previous posts on HN: 2022: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32245346 2023: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37868106 (From my comment on that 2023 post: "Why haven't FlightRadar24, FlightAware, or any of the other flight trackers done this?"…
I was curious how powerful should a jammer be to completely actively substitute GPS coordinates in a city so large.

>"There's some reluctance to say it's Russia doing the jamming, though that seems to be the consensus among experts." Why the reluctance? I do not think there is much love lost in regards to Russia.
Well, if you identify them then you might have to do something about it. But it's not clear there's much to be done. Sometimes it's easier to deny or just not mention that someone is acting in a hostile way. The example I often think of is Iran firing missiles at U.S. warships during Operation Praying Mantis, and then, as Wikipedia puts it: "The Pentagon and the Reagan Administration later denied that any Silkworm mi…
