/tech/ - Technology★

What would be the point of global communication in a post apocalypse world? The infrastructure would not disapear just because of a few atom bombs or zambies eating people, it might only need a little repair.

Radios (if they have enough power)

Smoke signals (may get you fucko'd by raiders lol)

Carrier Pigeon (???)

Pony Express (truth is, the game was rigged from the start)

Morse code (requires cable to be set up)

Drums (lol niggers)

Whistles (post-apoc feminists will crucify you for catcalling, also birds lol)

Light signals (needs to be dark + can be seen by raiders)

Flagging (the thing with the half red half white flags that you hold in different positions)

Flare guns (only one shot + easily seen by all)

Shouting (will be heard and fucko'd by aforementioned raiders)

SMS (tower needs to be active + they need to be in range of tower or chain of towers)

Color codes (will only be seen by those who recognize it, they may not see it example: bandana in a window sill)

really all that seems available tbh, take your pick

>>1023377 (checked)

also to add to what this anon said

if you or someone you know is separated from yourself or your group and is far away (can mean different things depending on terrain and location) then most likely you or they are shit out of luck and are probably fucked.

that is, you/them will probably get raped, robbed, or murdered somewhere along your journey back to your group.

Comms would only be useful if

1. no one else but your people were on a specific/encrypted channel

2. you actually CAN help them

3. are at least somewhat sure that they aren't going to die in the immediate future, thus compromising your Comms

for example

>sally is in the big apple (jew york) and your somewhere in maine, if shit breaks out (nigs chimp, nuke, etc) chances are sally is gonna get raped to death by a pack of feral niggers long before she even gets close to vermont, so Comms and trying to instruct and guide her to maine would be a null point + the feral niggers are now in possession of sally's encrypted walkie talkie she used to communicate with you.

there are a few solutions to this

1. get sally out of the urbanite hellscape (most effective method)

2. have a "self-destruct" option on the walkie, or a remote detonation method so that if sally reports bad news and then doesn't respond to hails or at the specified interval one or more times you can safely assume sally is kill and blow up the walkie (and probably a nig lol)

3. don't even give sally a walkie but instead a contingency plan (not on paper of course)

that is an example of when providing or using Comms in a post-apoc situation would be a null point.

but for the sake of discussion her is an example of how it could be useful

>sally is somewhere in bumfuck nowhere in idaho because reasons, you are in montana and want sally to come visit because the world is ending and you need to populate her womb + your a lazy fuck lol. since there are essentially no niggers in that region, it would be relatively "safe" to give sally a walkie to communicate instructions to her, such as "avoid groups of people" and "don't hug bears" along with things like waypoints and map directions, with the likelihood of sally getting orifice expansions no longer an issue the chances of sally returning to you and not compromising comms due to being dead are several degrees higher than the previous example

and so at that point it would be safe and reasonable to have comms

>tl;dr don't use unsecured comms. don't use comms in the city because tech niggers (not the /tech/ kind) and it will get you raped. Make sure there is a known and trusted individual on the other end, with the ability to confirm. Have a way to "secure" Comms if they are ever comped

>SMS (tower needs to be active + they need to be in range of tower or chain of towers)

How would you power that shit? Isn't it a resource hog?

Towers like that are desinged to handle few thousand connections at once.

I don't think there would be that big human settlements after an apocalypse

>Apocalypse communications

How realtime is the communication?

You can write a cult book which only your kind can decipher and spread that occultism around or it could be an artwork with hidden meanings.

>global infrastructure

How about put all useful electronics under a Faraday-cage bunker and have energy generators too?

You probably played too much video games or watched a lot of Hollywood. Nuclear winter and all that shit can't cause apocalypse and if any they're only used against secret and military bases. All nukes won't even kill the planet at all. Your only apocalypse is when they decide to finally cage the goyim outside the walls of new world utopia and force them to work but that's not the case since robots are their final goal as the embodiment of perfect goyim so you'll be left out on the slum suburbs to illegally live.

None of them, and modern humans are too stupid to survive without smartphones. A few are, but the stupid masses will kill them first for being nerds.

>>1023914

This is the only solution. You cannot escape the snartphone jew, no matter what. Those who don't have smartphones will be killed by the normies. Fighting back against (((them))) is futile. This is another way in which we forever lose. Conform or die.

>Your only apocalypse is when they decide to finally cage the goyim outside the walls of new world utopia and force them to work but that's not the case since robots are their final goal as the embodiment of perfect goyim so you'll be left out on the slum suburbs to illegally live.

This is what will inevitably happen. We will lose eternally. What will follow after (((they))) inevitably get all their wishes is 1,000,000,000 years of darkness. At the bare minimum. We have nothing worth living ot fighting for. Suicide is our only option.

>>1023926

So why aren't you dead right now? Obviously you don't believe what you say here so it means that you're just trolling.

I agree with that blackpill anon in that suicide is the answer for most of /tech/ but for slightly different reasons tbh

>>1023374 (OP)

Solar powered low-band radio with battery backups. They don't require that much power and much harder to damage than digital comms. Downsides would be that they are easily tracked and easily interfered with.

>>1023374 (OP)

>>thinks satellite phones would continuing working

There's a kill switch in basically every appliance.

>>1024464

What about pre-2001 satellite phones?

>>1024464

Couldn't you reprogram the sat phone to connect directly to various Ham-Sattelites? Of course, you'd need to be licensed but in a SHTF situation who would enforce?

>>1024827

Please read up on the things you want to talk about before making yourself look dumb

>>1024834

STFU bitch

>>1024832

Why not just use the amateur civilian echo satellites for phone calls?

>>1024838

GEE I DON'T KNOW YOU SPAZ, MAYBE BECAUSE EVERYBODY LINKED WILL HEAR YOU? SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU RETARDED MOUTHBREATHER

>>1024832

Encrypted ham radio transmission is illegal, ham radio dudes are a bunch of faggots and will snitch on you if they notice you broadcasting anything like that

>>1023374 (OP)

Hams already have several different global data networks going. We also commonly use RTTY which is compatible with equipment going all the way back before WWII. Hellschriber is also another ancient technique which is used these days, mainly just for a laugh.

>>1023966

DMR and DSTAR and the other competing digital mainly HT / mobile technologies are all memes because the audio encoders and other stuff is proprietary. FM is king and will be into the future. Why much about with all this digital stuff when analog does it just as well? IRLP has been around for what, decades now, and we have echolink for the smart phone. I admit DMR and DSTAR have certain bullet points in their favor but it's balkanizing ham radio.

>>1024838

Yep people have been making satellite repeater voice contacts for decades, too.

>>1023914

>>1023926

>>1024042

Same retards doing this in every thread in /tech/ see anything Google or Facebook.

<reeee don't even bother trying to avoid the botnet, just give in goyim

>>1024864

>>1024885

Check out this pedophile slash Cuban spy here.

Why didn't anyone mention short wave? Sure, you're not gonna be able to torrent moe shit but it will be good enough to sign some bitcoin transactions or to log into an IRC server with low traffic. Maybe send some highly-compressed audio messages, etc.

Besides, it will be a nice return to analog. Wanna hear news from the Czech Republic?

>>1025277

>DMR and DSTAR and the other competing digital mainly HT / mobile technologies are all memes because the audio encoders and other stuff is proprietary.

There is no competing. DMR won digital. Bigly. The Brandmister network alone has 2900+ repeaters. DMR MARC 500+.

DSTAR is a dead propriety ham meme. DMR is an open standard and very far from a meme. https://www.dmrassociation.org/dmr-standards.html

>IRLP/echolink

Those are old amateur methods of linking repeaters that depended on the internet. Not really the same thing as DMR since DMR can talk simplex,though a standalone repeater, or though a networked repeater. Even the shittiest bofang DMR radio's can talk FM so your not sacrificing interoperability with a DMR radio.

The anon I was replying to was asking about something that could talk encrypted and had a "self destruct" feature. There are DMR radios that support both AES256 encryption and do over the air re-keying. There are DMR radios that have built in STUN/KILL features that can be done simplex in the field. None of his requests could be met by an analog rig.

The only requirement DMR couldn't hit for him would be the range from Maine to NY. For that he would need HF and to work out an opsec protocol for communication over that. The history books would be his friend there. Just look up methods used during WWII.

>>1025388

>though though though

*through

>>1023374 (OP)

shortwave with valves

>>1025388

>DMR can talk simplex,though a standalone repeater, or though a networked repeater

This is true of old analog FM and IRLP has a huge number of linked repeaters, if you add in echolink it's a shit ton more.

>>1025319

How exactly are you supposed to send digital data over radio shortwave? Can you point to any such implementations/protocols which use short wave as a carrier?

>>1025546

RTTY has been around for like a hundred years.
