Im working on ebpfence https://github.com/CucumisSativus/ebpfence

I want to create a tool that would automatically block the stealers from stealing your previous credentials or crypto wallets. I had this idea after the Shai-Hulud attack

It's an experimental side project, but so far it looks very promising.

I was in a team that built a bigger telco project for machine to machine communication, using akka actors. It was okayish, the only thing that I hated was how the whole pattern spread through the whole code base

Burning coal and wood wouldn't be that bad. Unfortunately its quite common that people burn their trash

The issue with solid-fuel ban is that its banned only inside of the city itself, not in the surrounding towns

During covid, when car traffic went to almost 0, the air quality was also extremely bad. Its mostly coal in the houses plus some people are not even using coal in their heating systems

There are many houses in Poland that are using coal heating, and unfortunately a lot of people burn there their thrash. Kraków is surrounded by smaller towns and villages, where single family houses are common. To make things even worse, Kraków is in a basin, which makes the air flow even more difficult. If you add there years of city mismanagement when it comes to air flow, you land in such a situation

Im not saying that those are the only use cases, but I really see that there multiple other apps that make the "normal" communication much easier.

I see two use cases: * Communication between protestors * Illegal activities, but here I can imagine that bluetooth range is too small
