What if its not a lot of regular threats, but like one really big threat.

Like I'm talking a giagantic whale size porker of a threat that adds up to over 100 on the regular scale.

One can only hope. Then I can get locked into a haggle-loop with them and achieve time travel.

Is that a threat or a promise?

What does active threat actually mean?
Means they were up to no good.

In the event of a breach:
  • All services will immediately go offline to analyze the cause and stay down until it's addressed.
  • The only form of private information that can be leaked is email.
  • HQ is backed up multiple times a day and I regularly use the backups to base my testing/staging off of, at most a few hours will be lost in a worst case scenario.
There's really not much I can do about the second one. I can think of a few ideas that might work with a lot of effort, but email addresses really aren't private to begin with.

Also worth noting that forum private messages are not encrypted. If you want to discuss something that requires privacy with another poster, I suggest using PMs to coordinate a chat over an end-to-end encrypted messenger, Session seems like a decent choice but I've never used it.

U.S.
Sun unleashes powerful solar flare strong enough to cause radio blackouts on Earth

By Kerry Breen

July 5, 2023 / 12:00 PM / CBS News

The sun emitted a solar flare this week that was strong enough to cause radio blackouts on Earth — and it reportedly did.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which showed a bright flash in the top right area of the sun. The flare was classified as a X1.0 flare, which means it is in the most intense class of flares, according to the agency.

The flare peaked at 7:14 p.m. Eastern Time on July 2, NASA said. It erupted from a sunspot that is seven times the width of Earth, according to Space.com, a website that chronicles news and events in space.


It's possible that solar flares could continue to have an impact on radio and internet communications, and satellite and radio navigation systems can be disrupted.

Scientists discover ancient, underwater volcano is still active — and covered in up to a million giant eggs

Researchers exploring an ancient, underwater volcano off the Pacific coast of Canada have discovered it is still active — and "covered" in thousands of giant eggs.

Before the expedition, the team thought the volcano was extinct and the waters around it frigid. However, they found the underwater mountain — which towers 3,600 feet (1,100 meters) above the seafloor — spouting warm water and encrusted with deep-sea corals. The hot, mineral-rich fluid keeps the surrounding waters toasty, providing ideal conditions for some marine creatures to survive in the deep sea. The researchers were even more surprised to see a Pacific white skate (Bathyraja spinosissima) weaving in and out of the fronds and laying eggs on the summit, nearly a mile (1.5 kilometers) beneath the surface.

"I'd estimate the summit of the seamount, which was covered in eggs, had — I don’t know — 100,000? A million?" These eggs were large, Du Preez added, measuring about 1.5 feet (0.5 m) across.

Assuming that the species is listed correctly, the eggs are too large.

I looked up a picture of the eggs, they are kinda long and flattish. Imagine a kelp box. They aren't the white eggs a chicken lays.

Utah man killed by FBI agents after he allegedly made threats against Biden ahead of president’s visit

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/08/09/poli ... index.html
FBI special agents shot and killed a Utah man Wednesday while attempting to arrest him for allegedly making threats against President Joe Biden ahead of the president’s trip to the state.

The man, Craig Robertson, was facing three federal charges, including threats against the president as well as influencing, impeding and retaliating against federal law enforcement officers by threat. Investigators noted that Robertson appears to owns “a sniper rifle” and several other firearms.

Some of the threats happened just ahead of Biden’s planned trip to Utah on Wednesday evening.

“I HEAR BIDEN IS COMING TO UTAH,” one threat read, according to prosecutors. “DIGGING OUT MY OLD GHILLE SUIT AND CLEANING THE DUST OFF THE M24 SNIPER RIFLE. WELCOM, BUFFOON-IN-CHIEF!”
Cool story.
