i mean reading over and over all the top secret details of how America's assfucking literally everyone in the world and blowing them up with drones is nice and all but just once i'd like someone to leak some secret stuff about, i don't know, aliens? JFK secretly being a robot? something fun, even if it's just some wishy-washy noncommittal stuff. i'm starting to think the shadow government doesn't even do any of the cool fun things shadow governments do :(

You'll wanna tweet @mckinnon for that stuff I think

shouldn't that be "guesses" about the delta outage?

i am legit surprised they didn't keep whatever datacenter northwest had around for redundancy. then again considering the state northwest was in at the time of the merger it was probably already on fire

i would think that all bets are off in a fire. the fire suppression system might've shut down the "redundant" part too right?

NSA: ‘Can Somebody Good At Computers Help Us?’

quote:

FORT MEADE, MD—Explaining that things weren’t working right and he didn’t know why, visibly frustrated National Security Agency director Michael S. Rogers called a press conference Thursday afternoon to ask if somebody good at computers could help out the intelligence organization. “We must have done something wrong and now everything’s all screwed up—is there anybody who knows computers that can fix it for us?” said Rogers, adding that he doesn’t know whether he hit a wrong key at some point or if he got “the virus,” but would just like somebody to make the agency’s computers work like they did before all this. “I’m no good with this type of stuff, and all I want to do is check my emails. Can someone just come by my office and make the problem go away? I don’t think it should take too long.” Following the press event, Rogers reportedly returned to his desk to sit and patiently wait.
