<p>I would be so glad to see a short educational video about this. I wasn't aware of this and I think millions of other devs aren't either. Otherwise we'd never have adopted this nightmare.<p>I love how simple SSH is with it's PK-Auth. The only challenge is session-invalidation and key-management, but that can be surely automated, no?</p>

<p>They want to create a monopoly and destroy every competitor, before they got a chance to rival them.<p>Why can't OSS software rival closed source software? It should be an open market, at least "somewhat", what's happening for real? EU providers will also get banned, if they reach or exceed US model capabilties?<p>Closed source providers can close your account at a whim like and destroy your business and then use the data you supplied them to create a competitor (Meta, Google, OpenAI, Anthrophic).</p>

<p>France has the best intelligence apparatus. Recommend checking it, that's also why they are way under the radar. If achieving intelligence by any means was the goal, yeah then Mossad.<p>Let's compare facts: There's only 10M people there. I think PR skews reality massively<p>Population metrics deskew this distorted reality: France has 69M, China has 1.4B, Russia 143, Germany 83M people. Mathematically and from a technological sophistication standpoint, these governments must have higher advancements and frequency of successful Intel vs Israel. Mathematical probability speaks against Israel.</p>

E-Mail is the most complex of everything I know in sysadmin/DNS/Server stuff.<p>My current provider since almost two decades without any issues, except speed and storage limitations is all-inkl.com, but I really just use it for email and nothing else, therefore most likely overpriced at ~6€/month.<p>I would love to switch to some VPS/root or anything where I can SSH and install, compile my own services, but something where security is high and support is 24/7 available.</p>

<p>Sounds very much like HarmonyOS. I was just in a Huawei Store and I think from a UI/UX perspective, despite being quite new, it's incredibly slick and leaps ahead in great design and integration within the HarmonyOS ecosystem. Even saw it being used as Laptop OS and Mobile, the convergence is quite applaudable.<p>The kindest was that the store's staff advised against buying the device as it's quite painful to use it with Google's apk & blobs, because it drains more battery than when it's integrated with your system services directly. I told him, that maybe rare, but I'm actually happy to not use Google apps as much as possible and especially not within my operating system. Another point he made was that 5G'A is blocked by Google, about that I know nothing to be honest.<p>Some Android forks are indeed quite nice, but the issue has always been the updating model, upstream maintenance and compatibility. With Harmony OS a large cooperation with the consumers in focus and the one developing the entire hardware stack is behind the OS development and maintenance making it safer against supply-chain hacks and a deeper integration possible than any other OS.</p>

<p>Between 2013 and 2015 I was working on UWB (Ultra-Wideband-Radar). 
It's stealth, undistinguishable from background noise too. Of course that depends on multiple attributes, but in general the signal can be understood like a chirp within multiple frequencies, thus looking non-linear and especially hard to detect, if there are multiple such devices additionally communicating with each other. Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) makes it even more efficient at being stealth, without diving too deep into it.<p>So this negative-light technology is quite interesting in that it's stealth, but it has to come a long way to reach the ubiquity of UWB. I'm curious if and how such technology could be used in space though. Happy to hear more!<p>One of the most plaguing questions I have is that it's very odd that specialists are so quite about the wide-spread integration of UWB chips in all modern phones and the accompanying "possible" surveillance nightmare. As a government it'd be total horror to be fully penetrated by an adversary like this. If you find otherwise please share the paper here, there's a lot of literature about UWB, OAM, beam-forming, antenna-design and related technology that, when put together easily make someone doubting it at least more inclined to be more open.<p>My work back then was sold to military by one of my professors behind my back, and after confronting the professor about it he laughed it off telling me it's normal and okay. I refused to publish about it, as I was finding it difficult to find a positive usage scenario, plus he was profiting of off my work that I needed for a grade financially outside of university and of course of no intention of integrating my work. To add salt to that wound he instructed me to change my applied-science paper to be more of a guide for a few select PhDs who'd receive the financial grants, making my work a footnote at best. I have no words. Later I learnt by a friend working on his Dr. degree how he got betrayed by his Dr Father. He was working on a science-backed improvement for a factory, after telling his Dr. Father he found that he patented the technology and sold it to the factory. When he found out, he heard a similar story to mine, where his Dr. Father basically told him, "lesson-learnt, better me than someone else". He finished his degree and kept his profile-low for years after that to not cause conflict.. quite sad.<p>My initial plan was to provide IPS to the campus with a few-cm accuracy and gesture recognition through walls as a cool gimmick with future work focusing on accessibility scenarios.<p>But with current devices it's possible to use the UWB chips in distributed mesh (similar to find-my) to create an ultra-high-resolution 3D-feed with city-wide, real-time and through-wall sensing at mm-accuracy. I'm not even factoring in resolution upgrades using AI.<p>Cook me, if you want, this was genuine scientific work taking months of work back in 2015 to be able to build, but being backstabbed by your professor was quite unreal to find out. Later I got similar signals from friends at Fraunhofer and Max-Planck. Just listening to their work stories made clear they were fooled doing science, when they in tandem were quite frankly building military reconnaissance technology, but distributed in small disconnect groups of low-paid scientists (PhD/Dr/MSc).</p>

<p>DO NOT GOOGLE EXPRESS VPN!<p>The GitHub links are one of the nastiest Malware I ever encountered in my life!<p>I steals your Apple Keychain, all your "Safe" Passkeys, your Google Chrome "Saved Passwords", even your KeePass Database!<p>Login and security is still not sufficiently solved with attack-proofs for the most important things in life like your Bank, Email, Wallets, Social Logins.<p>Your "logged-in Sessions" also get stolen! It's unbearable that most cookies expire in months "ON THE SERVER SIDE"! You have no control and can't log the attacker out!<p>It happened to me, when I was in China and searched for ExpressVPN, because the main website didn't load forever, the GitHub link seemed like an alternative.. damn.. I changed my Google Password 5 times and the attacker was still able to log-in, it was so devastating! I had to change my email passwords multiple times too.<p>Sessions are what make logins valid and this is the weakest link of all. I wish Sessions used Off-The-Record encryption with One-Time-Pads, such that each acccess requires a new key, that can only be derived with a valid reply that makes safe that the attacker can be logged out safely.</p>

<p>Someone posted here, thanks for that!! It immediately reminded me of HAML: <a href="https://harcstack.org/" rel="nofollow">https://harcstack.org/</a><p>I like HAML a lot, it was the most pleasant to develop with. And it shares a lot in common with Stylus. They both shared things in common.<p>NO NEED FOR: Curly braces, parentheses and semicolons. The cool thing, it was all optional and I wasn't forced to make use of all shortcuts!<p>I developed my own CSS Framework in 2003, shared with some UX guy at Yahoo, who incorporated it into YUI mostly as is, after I waived all rights. Most of that became internet standard. Later I had my own PHP based CSS scaffolding framework in 2005 that could also generate grids (before flex-box). SCASS/LESS was really similar to my framework, when it came out.<p>But I disliked it, it just looked like PHP mixed with CSS. I thought why accept the ugly syntax, despite a compiler being available?<p>The best ever existed is: HAML + Stylus + (HARC?)<p>See the beauty of it:
<a href="https://stylus-lang.com/docs/selectors.html" rel="nofollow">https://stylus-lang.com/docs/selectors.html</a><p>Now compare with HAML <a href="https://haml.info/" rel="nofollow">https://haml.info/</a><p>I think <a href="https://harcstack.org/" rel="nofollow">https://harcstack.org/</a> makes a good successor.</p>
