A professor at my University mentioned that when he was a student, the professors at that time claimed that the security of BGP is a solved problem and nobody is going to talk about it in ~2 years. This was +20 years ago. He has spent a lot of his research on an alternative for BGP called SCION[1], as the adaption of BGPSec is not very straight forward and rather an ugly fix.
I think it is pretty interesting that the problems of BGP are not discussed more widely and often.
I worked for a big European network vendor and ended up on a project trying to sort out the utter mess that is legacy SS7.
SS7 networks are basically wide open, with no auth and anyone can get an SS7 hub for cheap and start sending nefarious commands to peoples handsets. They can forward or record calls and read SMS. They can track you or they could just be a jerk and keep rebooting your phone. Worse still it can be used to intercept 2FA codes over SMS, which is the approach a lot of banks are taking for personal account security. intelligence agencies are without a doubt using it for intercepting and tracking.
The Telcos are lost with how to address the issues combined with cost considerations, so most are taking the approach of hoping it stays out of the news and waiting for it to eventually be deprecated from the network.
Ah Adrian! Yes his SCION is quite impressive and has plenty of cool features, but if it will ever outgrow the “future internet” technology phase remains to be seen.
I (other account) once submitted their work to HN to see what real smart people thought about it, but it got 0 traction.
I'm not sure what you mean because it basically is the same thing just without cryptographic surety.
And the "peering problem" is absolutely solved with proper route filtering...
I own a reMarkable Tablet, unfortunately its software has many teething troubles. For instance, the regular* eraser doesn't erase everything. I.e. on the tablet, it appears as it erases everything, but as soon as you export the page some fragments reappear. Also the percentage battery indicator is unreliable. Or was, they simply removed the indicator in an update. Now, you only have a approximated indicator, which is annoying (I hope the origin of the problem is not hardware related).
If they keep on working on the software, it'll be an awesome device. I love that one has root access via SSH and the writing and reading experience is splendid. However, I have to add this is my first "e-reader", so for me missing features like a dictionary is no biggie. Someone who has owned a kindle might find the reading mode rather limited and thus unsatisfactory.
I use Syncthing[1], it is open source and in my opinion a great way to keep your files synced across multiple computers. However I don't think it is the best option to keep code synced. I generally use private git repositories on Bitbucket or GitHub (On Bitbucket you don't have to pay for private repos whereas on GitHub you have to unless you are a student [2]).
I had a N9 and I loved it. The user experience of MeeGo was just awesome and very innovative! Choosing Windows phone over MeeGo was definitely a mistake.
In my opinion Windows phone doesn't have a chance against Android and iOS as it doesn't offer something that makes people think "omg that's so cool, I gotta have that". I guess quite a few people would have thought that if the N9 hadn't been dropped so fast and if they'd had a chance to play with the N9.
There is also the possibility to use cornstarch, flour or other powders for fire breathing. This should be safe, you shouldn't inhale the powder though.
I did it once, when I was around 12 years old. It looks a little less cool than with fluids, but it was still an awesome experience.
https://gcc.godbolt.org is also helpful, it colorizes the assembly output corresponding to the C/C++ source. Furthermore, you can simply change between Intel and AT&T synatx.
I use a VPN that tunnels through Sweden and I just got the GEMA "error message", but I don't even live in Germany (so information leak should not be the case). After changing the VPN exit node to another country, it worked.
"Gate-Keepers" can be a problem, but hosting videos on your own can be quite expensive, so I'd recommend to use several distribution ways/different hosters.
