agreed. as long as the administrative requirement is not "all work done from office desk", and cellular carrier IP ranges are allowed for his specific services, a cellular connection from laptop (cuz tech reasons) works. OP just likely needs a reasonable cya excuse to make things smooth.
your IP will be the easy give away if they care to audit. a possible solution is to VPN to the campus and nat your traffic from a campus IP, but now we are getting into additional questionable action.
plate number is tied to a VIN which describes the make/model. (sir, this is a wendys toyota. where is the honda?)
replies not required from the plate - plate has a specialized qrcode printed across the entire plate (infrared reflector?) with an identifier (lic + other public info?) and signed with an RSA keypair - reader can authenticate the information and a qrcode read counts as a verifiably good read
...or just ship RFID tags in the yearly inspection stickers - same cryptographic concept
none of this is hard or costly. only impediment is public rejection and we all know that can be managed.
very cool idea. they will counter with RFID or turn the plate into the equiv of a qrcode. store a cryptographically secure hash of the plate number and you pretty much put an end to that, no?. if I cant get a crypto signed version of your plate, flag the the car as a scofflaw (or worse) and track it as it travels in other ways. I think we are pretty much screwed without a change in laws.
with anti-women laws in some of these states, this is terrifying.
I'd wager that the cameras can't read them either if you can't at 10 yards
I might not take a bet on that. most license plates use reflective paint to aid in this. it would surprise me if paint and cameras are not tuned to at least one non human-visible wavelength.
polarized plate covers, specialized spray coatings, etc may work, but I am not betting my freedom on it. time to go bond style and get rotating plates.
hey, I upvoted because I feel you on this, but please don't ignore the impact of concentrated wealth on society. people have felt removed from us politics for decades. this is by design and results in the usual political grift becoming social poison as politicians from all sides mainline that money speedball. no, both "sides" are not the same, but the differences are far too minimal be be called healthy.
and, yes... people can be selfish, ignorant and prejudiced, but the worst of what we are has been weaponized against us since the first proto human claimed divine inspiration - and yet we persist still.
the 1/10 of 1% believe they can own us all in the end and, whether right or wrong, I want to define who the real monster is here - and its usually not the collective "we" in this potential game over moment.
yes, but you really don't want to nat if you dont have to - gets too messy too quickly when direct IP connectivity is right there.
@shadowintheday2@lemmy.world parent comment is correct. check routes on device C. make there is either a default route or a specific route back to A via B.
what did you do to that poor oldstable, you, you... monster!?!!?
