It's that time of year again.

[QuickNDirty]

A while back, I made a thread about some of the stuff I had in mind for my future as well as the futures of all of us.

You know, the things that only I, as a father, husband, homeowner, gun owner, hunter, amateur electrical and mechanical engineer, shade tree mechanic , cable guy, pizza guy, bum under a bridge, software engineer, platform engineer, and fuckin' telephony network operator that happens to really enjoy history, can do....

I haven't really said shit about anything since then, but today is a new day.

Before continuing further, play this:



I present to you the <UNNAMED THING> which basically hopes to merge the concepts behind the 911 emergency services hotline, emergency alert system, and social media/forums/email/text/any other electronic form of communication for the purpose of enabling massive awareness and instantaneous public response to events of a constitutional nature as experienced by law enforcement officers and the public at large. Hell of a sentence, right? There's more... Anyone, basically, being forced in any way, to execute an action or provide a service for anyone else against his or her own will or in disagreement with the CONUS, can call this number and with the right circumstances, instantly be "internet famous" from many angles and with options available that never would have been available otherwise.

Now, that's not to say I don't want additional help in the matter. I full-well intend to release everything as a FOSS product, but my focus for now is providing a much needed tool to the folks in VA. Much of the code base needs some work before it is ready to be an effective public repository. If anyone wants to pitch in to get this ready for public release or for any other reason, hit me up...

Nevertheless...

- You can register by texting your zipcode to 8442227349.
- You can de-register by texting BAIL to 8442227349.
- You can call 8442227349. It will dial me. I can answer, ask you wtf is going on, and you can make some shit up.
- I can then distribute what I gathered from you to everyone within an arbitrary distance of your given location (911 services, right? Name, address, phone number, description of the issue, anything else that seems relevant.....)
- You can text PORN to 8442227349 to receive some motivational pussy to help you grow some nuts.

For testing purposes, I don't give a fuck what anyone says. Make up an emergency, location, and phone number. I'll try my damnedest to be professional and not laugh as I send your report to everyone else that volunteered.

The last step, right now, will take some minutes to put together. The last bit I need to figure out is a name for the thing, and what the UI is going to look like. Seriously, wtf do you call something like this?

The most awesome aspect of this project, in my opinion, is that the "incident" report that gets distributed to all the recipients within range allows anyone that received the alert to view, and add content TO the "incident" report at their earliest convenience. The victim can, too....

Imagine a live stream of 1775 people watching 20 cops kick in another person's door IN PERSON, while live streaming all of that themselves.

The PD can't lie.
The media can't lie.
No one can lie.
Anyone actually trying to lie about any of this is simply not paying ANY attention at all, and is, therefore, passively forfeiting their ability to expect anyone at all to actually give a fuck what they have to say about anything. Worst case, you quickly pull up the video evidence proving their point completely inaccurate, and then punch them in the fucking face for having ever participated in an election cycle. Take that shit to a Jury and see who is guilty of what.


I want to have it out there and ready by January 20th at 7:00 AM. if you've got an ounce of balls and a fuckin' phone, sign the fuck up!

For real... The #1 gray man can go from having been unknown by anyone on Earth to being known by everyone on Earth in the blink of an eye, and without anyone having shed their blood. Right about that time someone kicks in their door for unlawful purposes.

 

[QuickNDirty]

Oh, yeah, @TheGerman was in on this, too, but fuck, neither one of us could figure out what to call it before today.

 

[Barneybdb]

SHHTF, Shit Has Hit The Fan???

 

[QuickNDirty]

SHHTF, Shit Has Hit The Fan???

SHTFPhone?
SHTF hotline? shtfhotline.com???!!

I like it!

shtfnetwork.com.....


who owns that?

 

[QuickNDirty]

A hell....

 

[QuickNDirty]

We got these, though!

 

[uffduh]

I see alot of drunk dialing in your future....and not just because I've saved the number in my contacts!

When a constitutional issue arises, it doesn't matter if someone is drunk, high, or sober.

So far, we've got some person from TN that's got enough balls to take the first step toward recovery.

 

[uffduh]

And another in TX. Slick system so far.

 

[QuickNDirty]

Fuck... posted mostly the same shit on Facebook and I've already been on 6 calls. Mostly from democrats I've been talking to.

Y'all are slacking.

 

[QuickNDirty]

maybe the dems agree with the American philosophy more than we thought?

 

[QuickNDirty]

Nearly 200 views on this thread, and ONE of them followed through so far.

Fuckin' A @uffduh

The rest... I dunno, really. Maybe it's a question of trust. Maybe it's a "I'm not clickin' that shit..". for whatever reason....


The leftists are willing to click the button, every single time, without question.... We have to do the same thing, in order to beat them.

This makes great use of that, and gives literally anyone the ability to ask thousands of people he/she has never met before the opportunity to help out. when their help is needed most. When YOU need it most.

I mean, what else are you going to do when it doesn't even make sense to call 911?

I think we are taking it all in. Wrapping our minds around it and of course, waiting for others to reply with “ok, I did it, its real”

 

[uffduh]

I thought I was signing up for porn of the day, but this works, too

 

[Hookturnr]

I'm onboard...an "emergency" may be happening in the next day or two..

 

[OldSalty]

This is pretty accurate.

OP, can you explain a bit more about how the backend system works?

How the data is stored, where it is stored, who has access to the data, is the data shared? You know...standard stuff

Good questions.

As much as it grates @W54/XM-388, the service runs in "the cloud". AWS, for the time being, in fact. It's the only way I know how to put together a service that's capable of handling all the traffic for the US but only costs a little bit to operate, and is easy to replicate in the event of spontaneous account termination due to political pressure or whatever.

For registrations,

I'm storing phone numbers, and zipcodes, as well as the logs of the text messages for a week in CloudWatch. The phone numbers and zipcodes are stored in a database (encrypted at rest and in-flight). The registration information is also replicated in some other accounts in case we need to spin up new infra in a disaster recovery scenario.

Registration info is accessible by assumers of roles that are permitted to access it, and that are present within the VPC. Presently that only includes the lambda function that handles registration, as well as the lambda functions that facilitate the call logic, and the administrator role.

For calls,

The call records, logs, recordings, etc are stored indefinitely in a database, in cloudwatch, and/or in S3. Some information about the call, the call recordings, and the content recorded by a dispatcher are publicly accessible. This would typically include your name, phone number, address that you gave to the dispatcher, your description of the event, etc. This is the equivalent of a 911 recording being released to the public, except with a comment section editable by people who're involved in the event, and viewable by anyone.


On top of that, call records are stored by the carrier(s) involved, for billing purposes.

The idea is to collect as little information from people as possible up front, and then really get up in their shit when they need help to ensure that the emergency is real, the person reporting it is legit, and the event is something worth waking people up over.

For data sharing,

I've got a lot in mind for applications that address the problem of how to unify We The People. i could see the potential for inter-service data-sharing to be a valuable option, but it's not something I would do without consent/opt-in from We The people. For now, no data in my control is shared with anyone EXCEPT that when you call in to report an emergency, the call, everything about the call, and all the information attached to the report about the call, either by you or someone else involved in the incident, is made public and shareable.

If sharing other data ever seems like a good idea, you can expect to be asked for your opinion before a decision is made.

For more information on the security and architecture principles employed in this service, see https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/

In the present state, this service could pass a lot of the phases of a Well Architected Review.

Places we fall short mostly involve hardening the infrastructure to a point we can guarantee 5 9s of uptime, some optimizations on cost, performance, and efficiency, monitoring, and documentation. As to be expected with any new service created in a single dude's spare time over the course of a few weeks. This is almost a minimum viable product. It does what it was designed to do and nothing else.

This testing step is essential to fulfilling the other requirements, so I encourage anyone reading this to stop thinking about it, and text their zip code to 8442227349 and call the number to report a made up emergency.

 

[Spblademaker]

So it’s like Tinder, but your wife can know about it?? Asking for my wife...who is glaring at me from across the table. ?

 

[105gr]

Sent....I saved it under "LAN". Liberty Action Network.

 

[QuickNDirty]

Sure, why not?

 

[Alphatreedog]

Oh for a econd I thought you said Grinder . I was like " I thought he didn't want anyone talkin about that " . Phew . Close call .?

 

[105gr]

I thought grinders was a restraunt

 

[QuickNDirty]

So... We've got about 2 dozen folks signed up so far. I've gotten some calls but they were not properly emergency sounding so I didn't dispatch them.

How's everybody feeling about it?

Do you like the idea?
Does it scare you?
Do you think it can work?
Why or why not?

P.S. - Thanks to all who've participated so far. Nothing cooler than seeing some people using some shit I built for 'Merica.

 

[Downtown]

Will you do a test or have a system check at a predetermined interval so we know the system is functioning?

 

[QuickNDirty]

We **can** do that, but depending on the number of people involved, it could be insanely expensive.

Every 10k people costs about $100 to alert. Rather than do that, would you be comfortable with a status dashboard that indicates the current state of the system?

Southern California just texted in

 

[QuickNDirty]

Lol, whatever the point of this is, is way over my head ?

 

[Downtown]

Wow, didn't realize the cost! Yes, whatever way is easiest to assure everything is working would be fine.

 

[Jsp556]

Everyone here is already on a watchlist. Quit being pussies and sign up. Lol

 

[QuickNDirty]

Fuckin' spot on.

I mean, for real... Take a look around you. Do you think this situation is going to improve all on its own? I don't.

There's a global effort to make us and everyone else into subservient, obedient little slaves, and this is literally the only fucking path that I can see that might turn the tables a bit, but We The People have to use the shit, and stop doing things the way we've been doing them because that doesn't work...

This product is one of many in the pipeline that gives We The People the opportunity to do things differently.

Don't y'all want that? Don't y'all want to see unconstitutional shit repealed? Don't you want to see traitors to the country ousted from public office? Don't you want elected officials, board members, principals, etc to tell trannies that want to teach anal sex to 3 year olds to fuck off to the nearest psych ward? Don't you want to be able to drive down the road without a seatbelt on, for fucks sake?

This is a step toward getting that freedom back. Motherfuckers have to take the step, though.


Stop being afraid.

 

[QuickNDirty]

I mean, @DarnYankeeUSMC, it sure sounds like you want what I want.

@Zoomie. sounds like he wants the same thing, too.

I can literally go on for days and days linking the shit y'all have said that brought me to the conclusion that NOW is the time to put this shit together, NOW is the time for folks to quit fucking talking and start fuckin' doing, and NOW is the time to put my ass on the line in a huge way to try bring this idea to fruition.

And I'll tell you a thing or two about the fruit I produce. It's not the sweetest, but it'll keep you going.

Nut up. Help me make it happen.

 

[johnnycat]

Done.

I mean, this is kinda like a modern Sons Of Liberty type thing, right?

 

[QuickNDirty]

What can I say? I like history, and I have no problem standing on the shoulders of giants, or telling them to fuck off.

I’m still waiting for my porn of the day to arrive. That’s what I signed up for, right?

No.... but that gives me an idea...

Don't give me any ideas.

 

[uffduh]

Just trying to throw off the alphabets while getting the numbers up. Haha

What happens when you text porn to 8442227349?

 

[105gr]

Only reason it wont work is cuz they control the fone system

 

[QuickNDirty]

You'd be surprised how like-minded phone people are.

Nevertheless, while it's true they may control telephony to a degree, the antiquated bullshit you call the phone system is pretty much a fucking free for all. We've got lots of options when push comes to shove.

 

[uffduh]

What happens when you text porn to 8442227349?

I did try to preface my post code with something like ‘sure, why not’ yday and received a message that only the post code would get through

 

[QuickNDirty]

@uffduh - I just updated the feature set.

You can now text PORN to 8442227349 and receive a motivational picture.

Maybe that'll help some folks grow some balls and be a part of some epic shit.

Please try again.

 

[QuickNDirty]

Oh, yeah... Following the simple instructions is a hard requirement. Helps filter out some of the riffraff.

Confused my this. You want to text porn to your own number when will only accept a post code?
