China surprised that Trump can count so bigly.
For some reason they didn't reach out to me after I received my doctorate in Geopsychology at Abide University...
I hear the API development for alpha centauri is pretty far behind its peer.
The only reason why US agencies have my fingerprint and biometrics is because of visa and TWIC applications. I still prefer doing things the analog way when entering.
Being a foreigner crossing the border is annoying enough, even if I'm the "right" skin color entering legally. No need to have a shitty AI conclude "daymn he ugly" and deport me on a whim.
Note: I have not done any research on the topic, but I'm just theorizing based on what I already know, as it's an interesting mental excersice.
Obviously the biggest problems will be uplink and power. Solar and a battery bank is the obvious choice, but other methods of powers can also work, such as a small generator in a river, etc.
Lead acid batteries are relatively cheap, and building a 12V bank out of car batteries makes sense as there is plenty of off the shelf hardware available to invert or transform 12V into whatever you need. Charging it from solar will be inefficient, but it will work, and there is also plenty of hardware for this (tip: boat-related shops can help you out here)
As for hosting hardware we're of course dealing with the constraints of load vs power consumption. If you can go for something like a raspberry pi zero, you can run for days off of a single car battery with those cheap 5v cigarette-pkug chargers. If you need something more powerful, you need to scale up power accordingly.
As for uplink, the question is "How much" off grid we're talking. I will assume that there's at least GPRS coverage that you can connect to with a 4G modem, even if you don't get 4G speeds. Plenty of off-the-shelf hardware available here. If not applicable, just substitute with whatever is available, be it CDMA, packet radio, starlink (eww), or anything else.
I'm literally (as in, "not figuratively") on China's payroll. But I'm very glad that my work PC was set up from scratch by me, on a Dell that I already had laying around.
They pay me well, but that doesn't make me trust them.

Foxcon nets to catch jumpers in the US when?
Any way of having this study an existing database (or dump thereof) and build the graph? I have an oracle database that nobody understands, built by someone else, and I thought something like this could help..
Derp, yes. Corrected. VLAN numbers are obviously not related to port numbers in any way.

Yes. China's great firewall mostly handles content filtering and deals with low hanging fruit. Getting around it is fairly simple, and the censorship is mostly focused on stuff that would otherwise be easily accessible by the broader population.
VPN is your obvious choice here. CCP blocks most public VPN providers, so you'd have to roll your own.
You can set up a VPN concentrator somewhere in the world, and you would be able to reach it. As far as I've noticed, they don't block VPN as a whole, and default port should work fine - the reason for this is probably that VPN has many commercial uses that they don't want to harm.
