Heavy armor is extremely vulnerable against angry mobs (or one guy with a molotov) which is why every competent military (not the IDF or VDV) will only deploy them along with infantry, where they're mostly just useful for providing support by fire and destroying enemy armor and fortifications which don't tend to exist in the case of armed uprisings
If anything technology has made uprisings easier since the invention of the assault rifle put a Maxim gun into the hands of every single man, woman, and child
Heavy armor is pretty much irrelevant in asymmetric conflicts
@scathach tanks are irrelevant, but technology isn't. Instant communications and quick logistics are the true gamechanger here. Before that, uprisings could be started and last for weeks if not months before the ruling cohorts would even learn about them, much less take action. Today it takes mere hours to deploy troops into literally any place on Earth.
@newt@stereophonic.space @scathach@stereophonic.space I think we should take one more step back to see that technology is used not only to quelch uprisings, but to prevent them from even happening. Instead of rising up people spend days on end doomscrolling and discussing which out-group is worse in the comments 😅
@m0xEE @scathach what the majority does is irrelevant. For an uprising, you need only less than 1% as a bloodthirsty fanatics. For every fighter, there is 10 support and 100 bystanders.
@newt@stereophonic.space I mostly agree — you don't need millions to storm government buildings, that is true. But you still HAVE TO have popular support for your government to become legitimate. You can't just arrive as a strike team out of the blue, eviscerate current officials and take their place — that is unlikely to work.
Legitimacy is the most important thing! People not only have to hate their government — they have to like what you stand for. If you're assassinating officials, attacking law enforcement and setting the city on fire and people like you — you're brave revolutionaries, but otherwise you're just terrorists and they might even start flocking to their current government. Besides, authorities aren't in the capital only — even if you manage to take the capital over, what if regional governments tell you to "literally fuck your own face"? To you have enough fighters to cover that? Every regional government and their law enforcement? Without legitimacy it's just civil war. Then there are international matters — who recognises that your bunch of fanatics represents the country? Case in point: Taliban taking over Afghanistan, they are de-facto controlling the country, now what? Selling opiates to Russia which itself is still considered somewhat legitimate and recognises you is the best you can hope for. I think legitimacy is the cornerstone of any revolution.
This is literally how it has worked every single time in the history of mankind.
I don't think so. I think it's more like Orwell described it: there is one group that is in power, the second group fighting for power — but they can only succeed if they have the support of the majority, the third group — that never wins itself, but becomes an essential tool for the transition of power. Very simplistic, but I think it's close to how it is.

Anyone know of a guide for generating an SSH key file (.pem or .ppk) for allowing FileZilla (file transfer program) to access a remote server with a key file instead of a password?
So far, what I have tried has not worked. I am likely missing a step, but not sure what it is.
Generate your key and make sure you save the private (to use by you on the client) and the public (to be used in the server)
I use a private ppk in my sftp client (prefer winscp over filezilla), (I save the private key without password for my servers)
I am assuming you have access (ssh) to the remote server. I copy the public key as ssh-rsa must be copied into <home>/.ssh/authorized_keys The authorized_keys file must be something like this: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQEAhJz1HtW+s2po/vcPIpcQJKj5rMHCC0v0zagfZ8XlrvpoRn2FK (putty keygen gives you the option of copy pasting, I prefer to save both public and private to text just in case, but make sure you don't mix EOL).
So it works very similar to how password-less ssh entry works in that you copy the public key to the authorized_files on the remote server in the user you want to login as.
Makes sense. I'll just have to go through the steps and verify that I can make it happen.
sftp is transferring files using ssh envelope. The only difference is in the client (if I were copying from another linux/unix server I would have to put the private key in ~/.ssh/id_rsa 700 ) but using a windows client is some click on the connection to configure it.
Yeah, the Windows client is throwing a wrench in my approach and understanding. I'll give what you suggested a try.
Did you use a Windows tool to generate the private and public key?
Since I don't have password enabled for this user on the remote system, I can't do the equivalent of "ssh-copy-id" on Windows (if that is even something that can be done).
I used windows puttygen to generate. In windows it should be just specifying what file contains the private key. If you don't have a password for the remote system, how are you going to update authorized_keys file ?
I think you've pointed me in the right direction. Just need to try a few things out and make sure it works from Windows (FileZilla, though I should also try WinSCP).
Debian server on DigitalOcean Cloud. A default is to use a private key to login to root. No passwords for remote entry. No other users, besides root, set up with the default Debian on DigitalOcean.
I set up the additional user with "adduser" with the "--disabled-password" option.
I kind of like it, but do not have a whole lot of experience with "cloud" yet. The default of not using any passwords does seem more secure. Not even the possibility of a brute force password login attack.
Thank you for your help and guidance. As a result, I now understand this better and was able to connect from FileZilla on Windows to a Debian server.
Understanding the authorized_keys part was "key".
I had never used PuttyGen on Windows, but it makes sense now that I've done that. Very helpful that it shows the text to put in the remote server account's "authorized_keys" file.

When considering the purchase of a stone crusher for your construction or mining project, one of the primary concerns is cost. Crushers, whether stationary or mobile, are substantial investments that play a vital role in your operations. However, the question arises: will a mobile stone crusher cost more than its stationary counterpart? In this article, we will explore the factors influencing the cost of mobile stone crushers and how they compare to other types of crushers, such as limestone crushers and industrial stone crushers.
Understanding the Basics of Mobile Stone Crushers
Mobile stone crushers are designed for flexibility and mobility, allowing them to be transported easily from one site to another. Unlike stationary crushers, which are fixed in one location, mobile crushers are equipped with wheels or tracks, making them highly versatile for various projects. They are especially useful in situations where access to a single location is limited or when the crusher(trituradora de piedra) needs to be moved frequently between different work areas.
These crushers are typically used for crushing a variety of materials, such as limestone, granite, and other rocks. They are commonly used in mining, aggregate production, and recycling operations, where mobility is crucial for efficiency.
Factors That Affect the Cost of Mobile Stone Crushers
The cost of a mobile stone crusher can be influenced by several factors, including its design, features, and capabilities. While mobile stone crushers tend to be more expensive than stationary models, several factors come into play when determining the overall price.
1. Mobility and Convenience
The most significant advantage of a mobile stone crusher is its mobility. Being able to move the crusher from one location to another without requiring disassembly or transportation by truck adds significant value. However, this mobility comes with a price. The advanced engineering required for mobility, such as tracks or wheels, additional components for transportation, and reinforced structures, can make mobile crushers more expensive than stationary ones.
For industries that need to move equipment across various work sites, the added cost of a mobile crusher may be justified by the operational flexibility it provides. This is particularly true for projects involving multiple locations or tight access areas where a stationary crusher would not be feasible.
2. Technology and Features
Mobile stone crushers often come equipped with advanced features and technologies that enhance their efficiency, performance, and ease of use. These features may include:
Automated control systems: Mobile crushers are often integrated with computerized systems that allow for real-time monitoring and adjustment of the machine's performance, optimizing production and reducing downtime.
Fuel efficiency: Modern mobile crushers are designed with fuel-efficient engines to reduce operational costs, but these advanced systems increase the initial price.
Enhanced mobility: The design of mobile crushers, which includes tracks or wheels and robust suspension systems, often comes with higher manufacturing costs.
Dust suppression systems: Dust is a significant concern in crushing operations, and mobile crushers often come with built-in dust control systems that add to the overall cost.
While these advanced technologies add to the price of the mobile stone crusher, they can also increase the machine's productivity, reduce environmental impact, and improve operator safety.
3. Crusher Capacity and Power
The cost of a mobile stone crusher can also vary depending on its capacity and power. Larger models designed to handle high-output production and tougher materials, such as an industrial stone crusher(trituradora de piedra industrial) or a limestone crusher, will cost more due to the size of the machine and the power required for its operation.
Mobile crushers with higher capacities may be more expensive upfront, but they can offer greater efficiency and higher production rates, making them a valuable long-term investment for large-scale operations. Smaller mobile crushers, which are suitable for lighter applications, will generally cost less but may not be as efficient for heavy-duty tasks.
4. Customization and Configuration
Mobile stone crushers are often available in various configurations, depending on the needs of the operation. Some models are designed for specific materials, such as limestone crushers(molino para piedra caliza) or crushers that specialize in aggregate production. Customized configurations may include different crusher types (e.g., jaw crushers, cone crushers, or impact crushers), which can increase the overall cost of the machine.
For example, a mobile stone crusher designed to handle particularly abrasive or tough materials, like limestone, may require additional reinforcement or specialized features, making it more expensive than a standard model.
5. Maintenance and Operating Costs
In addition to the initial cost, maintenance and operating costs play a significant role in the overall cost of owning a mobile stone crusher. Mobile crushers often have more moving parts than stationary crushers, which can increase the likelihood of wear and tear. Regular maintenance, including replacing parts such as tracks, wheels, or engines, is essential to keep the machine running efficiently.
However, because mobile stone crushers can often be moved to the work site, there is less need for additional machinery, transportation, or setup time, which can help offset the higher maintenance costs.
Comparing Mobile Stone Crushers to Other Crusher Types
1. Stationary Crushers
In comparison to mobile crushers, stationary crushers are generally less expensive, as they do not require the advanced mobility features and components that mobile units have. A stationary stone crusher may be more cost-effective for operations that focus on a single, permanent location, where mobility is not as important. However, they lack the flexibility to be moved between different job sites.
2. Limestone Crushers
Limestone crushers are designed specifically for crushing limestone, which is a softer material compared to other rocks. These crushers are usually available in both stationary and mobile models. A mobile limestone crusher may be more expensive than a stationary model due to the added features for portability, but it offers the flexibility to operate in multiple locations and handle various materials.
3. Industrial Stone Crushers
Industrial stone crushers are heavy-duty machines designed for large-scale operations. These crushers are typically stationary and can handle a wide range of materials, from rocks to aggregates. While they may not offer the same level of mobility as a mobile stone crusher, they are often more affordable upfront, making them a suitable choice for large-scale, long-term projects.
Conclusion: Is a Mobile Stone Crusher Worth the Extra Cost?
The decision to invest in a mobile stone crusher largely depends on the specific needs of your operation. While mobile crushers tend to be more expensive than stationary models due to their mobility, advanced technology, and capacity features, they offer significant advantages in terms of flexibility, efficiency, and convenience. For operations that require frequent relocation, tight access, or versatility in handling different materials, a mobile stone crusher may justify the higher upfront cost.
On the other hand, if your operation is based in a single location with minimal need for mobility, a stationary crusher may provide a more cost-effective solution. Ultimately, the choice between a mobile stone crusher and other types of crushers, such as limestone crushers or industrial stone crushers, should be based on your specific operational requirements, project size, and budget.
