Cornelius Bocchus

Lucius Cornelius Bocchus was a Lusitanian[1] from Roman Hispania who wrote about natural history. [2] Ancient authors mention his writings, which are otherwise lost. Pliny the Elder provides an excerpt from the chronicle of Cornelius Bocchus and mentions him as one of his sources.[3]

In a sane system they would need to store something like four values.- "eSIM" things are just reprogrammable soldered SIM cards because apparently nobody thought of doing it in software?!- phone towers are routinely spoofed by law enforcement for no good reason and apparently nobody is stopping this- phone calls/texts are not end to end encrypted, which is practical *now* if not when much of the development of mobile phones and whatever was happening- there are apparently a bunch of exploits in the protocols linking phone networks, like SS7

gollark: The widget thing sounds cool. I think you could actually do it as an external webserver thing instead of a plugin, since IIRC Minecraft servers have some sort of external reporting protocol.
