[21:09] <cyberanger> minasota: Okay, I think Turkey is off my list for awhile, if some recent reports are true.
[22:39] <minasota> cyberanger: source?
[23:01] <minasota> cyberanger: do you know the mechanics of how this works? https://github.com/lulzlabs/AirChat
[23:17] <cyberanger> minasota: that's the problem with a coup in a dictatorship, even a failed coup, I can't fact check so easily.
[23:17] <cyberanger> I have news of TV, Radio and Amateur Radio licenses being revoked, censorship issues before, during and after the coup too
[23:20] <cyberanger> minasota: reading it fast, yes I do understand the general mechanics of it
[23:22] <minasota> last week during the coup attempt, there was info coming out that circumvented the alleged block on Internet access
[23:22] <cyberanger> The blocks weren't uniform, barely even blocks
[23:22] <minasota> Just curios if that info was sent out using encryption over short wave
[23:23] <cyberanger> everyone there already knows how to switch DNS servers
[23:23] <cyberanger> also they didn't shut down the internet (the president used facetime to denounce the coup at first, for example)
[23:25] <minasota> yes, but there was information suggesting that some people didn't even try to use the Internet and instead went to short wave encryption to send out messages
[23:26] <minasota> If you're part of a coup attempt I doubt you're concerned about a revoked license...
[23:28] <minasota> I'm not educated on what rules apply there concerning ham protocol and who regulates it. Just curious about alternatives
[23:29] <cyberanger> Well, what I know was straight up internet from turkey. I know encrypted radio is possible (we've talked about it before, OTP and acting like a numbers station being the most obvious)
[23:30] <cyberanger> For the US it's the FCC, no encryption (for some very specific exceptions that you won't see with this tool)
[23:32] <minasota> What about over there, who regulates it in Turkey, do they have an FCC equivalent?
[23:32] <cyberanger> Yes (every nation has an equivalent) let me see who that is though
[23:35] <cyberanger> Radio and Television Supreme Council
[23:50] <cyberanger> minasota: Ham Radio is fun
[23:50] <cyberanger> something you might be intrested in getting started with.
[23:51] <minasota> cyberanger: reading up on it now... A little overwhelming
[23:58] <cyberanger> Yeah, It's alot
