I used to live in an area served by what was then GTE and they had antennas like this. I have not seen anything listing GTE’s equivalent infrastructure. Does anything exist for that?

They started carrying gunpods at the time. Missiles of the era were inaccurate and finicky.

No, the Navy didn't [0]. The Air Force did carry them. They Navy got better at avoiding the weaknesses.

Not to mention the AIM-4 was originally designed to shoot down Soviet bombers and not for dogfighting.

Whatever happened to the other openbsd fork, bitrig?

Bitrig doesn't seem like it is maintained any longer.[1][2]

I don’t know about the current version, but macOS has been certified as UNIX in the past.

Catalina is a certified UNIX 2003 – https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3653.htm

UNIX 2003 is not the latest version of the certification, the latest UNIX certification is (somewhat confusingly) named UNIX V7 (different thing from the classic Bell Labs V7 UNIX), but thus far only Oracle Solaris is certified to that.

z/OS is still only UNIX 95 – https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3601.htm – maybe one day IBM will upgrade that to the newer UNIX 98, UNIX 03, or UNIX V7 certifications, although I suspect not. IBM has decided to focus on running Linux Docker containers under z/OS instead (which it calls zCX).

Darknet Diaries episode 39 covers quite a bit about Daniel. He also used to call in to the PLA Phone Show under the pseudonym “Skunkworks”, and talk about dissolving bodies and vocal cords.

These look like the TARS blimps or DEA blimps used for border surveillance and trying to catch drug smugglers.

They've had blimps at the border for some time.

But ya, the pictures do look the same.

For me, hydroflouric acid.

Why not try to resurrect k5?

Maybe Alcatel can swoop in and buy them up.
