You leave an embassy locked up for decades, then start living there again and wonder what is in the pipes that haven't moved water in all that time. How...

[23:09:25] <exec> 08└─It's not clear to me that there was an ongoing string of attacks. If I read it right they are still responding to what happened months ago (see previous Soylent article). There's another way to detect a sonic attack: with your ears. It's too late by then.

[23:15:17] <exec> 08└─Usenet was a peer-to-peer network that in its best time quite certainly attained critical mass. And yes, there were Usenet servers and clients, but the servers were not operated by a single entity but formed a peer-to-peer network. In principle, everyone could set up an Usenet server.
