Excellent source for seed/salt word generation for keys and passphrases. Also a neat way to spark creativity for domain names

Is there a more efficient way this could be scripted?

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2143499-ships-fooled-in-gps-spoofing-attack-suggest-russian-cyberweapon/

Could someone explain what sort of device could cause a GPS satellite to give out the wrong information? Or is it sending fake information to GPS devices and overriding their signals?

It mentions:

"Satellite signals are very weak – about 20 watts from 20,000 miles away – so a one-watt transmitter on a hilltop, plane or drone is enough to spoof everything out to the horizon."

and

"The scale of the problem did not become apparent until people began trying to play Pokemon Go. The fake signal, which seems to centre on the Kremlin, relocates anyone nearby to Vnukovo Airport, 32 km away. This is probably for defensive reasons; many NATO guided bombs, missiles and drones rely on GPS navigation, and successful spoofing would make it impossible for them to hit their targets."

so for a while ive been able to coast by on an unlimited 4G connection with no worries, but recently somethings changed and now the quality of my connection has gone to shit in every concievable way, almost as if theyre trying to restrict 4G usage to be for short bursts of speed or something, and now im looking for a proper connection. problem is, there is literally one network that owns all the fibre and copper lines in the city, and unless i move to the outskirts im stuck between paying £50 for unlimited ADSL or £25 for a shitty satalite internet connection, the former of which locks me into an 18 month contract and has notoriously shitty customer service, and the latter of which i had previous experience of, where my 4G connection outperformed it.

This is been going on long enough that I have to ask - why is it that programmers and web developers don't know shit about how computer hardware actually works or how best to use its capabilities in their code?

I'm coming up on the end of my first year working as a lowly support engineer - I'm NOT as smart as these developers are, and I never will be, so I'm not saying this as some kind of superiority trip or anything - but holy shit these people have no idea how to build a computer that will run their code optimally (we REALLY need to figure out a way to sell our software as a turnkey appliance IMHO and no one seems to want to do it because they don't know how).

I have nothing more than personal experience from gayming and CompTIA A+, and I could configure and build hardware that will run their code better than any of them...

TL/DR, why the FUCK do software developers not understand how to build computers well?

I need a bag for my shit. I need room for a 15" laptop (Dell XPS but I think Macbook 15 is about the same dimensions) a notebook and other misc shit. Ideally I think I'd like a bag in a similar style as pic related but I'm open to any and all suggestions.
