CCSDS guides you to reinvent everything from scratch, I doubt memory safety is the biggest attack surface when you implement this stack. I dont know how big players implement networking for their satellites, but personally I would choose to fit something existing and battle-tested like TLS instead of reinventing data encryption, just look at those documents: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-lm&q=ccsds+en...

I have the same feeling paying for LLMs, it sucks we are financing genocide tools used by guys who are blackmailed with Epstein movies.

I had the misfortune of working with the Xilinx Vivado environment, it's a fucking garbage, the software is straight out of the 90s, everything is glued together with shell scripts and the TCL scripting language, the IDE throws thousands of warnings and errors while building a sample project, the documentation is missing or spread over 150 PDFs, if the manufacturer of your evaluation board prepared an example for the previous version of Vivado, you must have two installations, which is probably about 2 * 100GB, if you want to keep anything under version control, you have to use some external tools, it's all absurd.

I was working in space industry and ECSS security guidelines are missleading grant seeking startups to try to reinvent TLS on orbit. There are to mamy bureaucracy. ECSS guidelines for software teams were created by people who never written a Hello World in their life, just look at specs of ECSS Packet Utilisation Service, it's a joke, that's why I prefer to work for VC funded companies than grant funded.

I have never noticed throttling, however I am not a "heavy user", just an average one.

True, before fiber, 5 years ago, there was ADSL2 connection in my family house.

It keeps that speed at peak times without any issues, low pings, fast download speeds. With such internet connection the server is bottleneck, so if I download Linux distro I often choose torrent download option. There is no official data caps too.
