The big ones are also diesel, run at different RPM. ~3500 RPM For the smalle gas ones and around 1800 RPM for the big diesel ones. The noise characteristcs are also different. The big diesels produce more low frequency noise, whereas the small gas generators are literally lawn mower / leaf blower engines and sound the same.

The enclosures of the big generators remove mainly lower frequency sound, making them perceptually even quieter.

To limited extend by Ukrainian army, more like a fallback method if something happens to Startlink. Mesh networks are getting used more and more by Russian army for coordinating drone attacks and surveillance - they use Chinese modems e.g. 70M-6Ghz/Uper C-X-Ku).

AFAIK a lot of military gear works over mesh networks.

At this point, is the most "effective ethical" career path for a software developer to work on LLMs to flood social media and ad-clicks to speedrun the collapse of digital marketing? And thus freeing competent but money-driven software engineers to work on something else?

Check out the guy's social media (links in the original article). The shit is downright hilarious. He's very self-conscious about how horrible his business is.

Yeah now we know why it’s on the front page not even 10 minutes after posting…

With only 60 phones, this is like a click homestead.

> We help startups get attention with automated social media marketing on physical phones.

Combining what Ukraine is known for, kicking Russian ass and creating shady software

What a rollercoaster to arrive at that in the end

> Your own army of physical phones in just a few clicks

From a project page linked from the original post.

Click farms effectively function as janitors, mopping up spam someone else paid to throw so that no real user stumbles upon it, so they are beneficial.

> Ehh, so this is a click farm?

No no no, it's far worse than that, it's a bot farm.

"10 out of 10, I love this founder"

Yes

"I saw the best minds of my generation..."

If you check out the man's social media, the hilarious part is that he is not even trying to sugar coat it in anyway. It's like: "yup, I'm ruining your internet, what are you gonna do about it?"

Can you give some examples on what are these people specifically doing with all these phones for those unfamiliar with click farms?

That depends on what the source of your heating is.

Say, in Norway we largely use (hydro-) electric power for heating, anyway.

So, the 2% efficient (for lighting) incandescent bulb doubles as a 98% efficient space heater, utilizing the 2% loss to light said space. 100% efficient!
