ä"æ å...éz wet markets are all over in fareast Asia. Strangely the it broke out on one in a city with a bio3 lab. Never in Thailand or Vietnam. china is agressive to ALL the world following emperor xitler that took advantage of wuhan virus to destroy Hong Kong.

Except for questionable cli VMS and NT have little in common. VMS syscalls and libs were/are way better than NT. IMHO the biggest drawback of VMS is lack of good scripting as any *nix derivatives.Binary config files and registry could be similar... like systemd is bringing us

C/C++ = 1/++ ðYðYðYðYðYðYðYðYðYðYðYðY

someone wakes up after multiple bgp hijakings... minimum require reciprocity for pops... ccp must go away suppprt Hong Kong

Ever heard of bgp hijacks by china telecom?

Fahrenheit 451 comes true in an unexpected way.. imagine the pollution of burning bits

Could use Multics to reduce devel costs :-)

Maybe turnover also requires the use of relatively fast to learn languages?? In my job when it is not a quick&dirty thing but requires performances and reliability I use Erlang+OTP. Learning curve was really steep; probably took me more than a month to get the first socket based client to work (socket, connect, send, recv ). Much harder than CL. Last 15 years I've been with the same company so the ROI of learning Erlang is >0

too young to remember vax vms uptimes... range of ten years (for clusters not single node)

Adiantum encryption system will be supervised by systemd thus soooo much better security

Since fbis blocked and can be accessed only via vpn (or maybe via somes rules in chinese fw) why doesnt fb just use their "AI" to correlate ipsrc, x-referrer, languge setting etc. fb collects so much data it seems difficult that this is not in their reach

Scrooge McDuck did is successfully years ago :-)

The video shows just the unlock process plus a (possibly fake) web page with SS7 printed in big letters. Looks much like a PR stunt These guys of Positive Technologies might want to read at least Wikipedia about SS7. Even if old protocol, it still has common things with OSI 7 layers. You can compare SS7as a sort of IP; the layers above like MAP are used in mobiles and there is no xml encoded for humans to read but XER/BER. In all networks I know there is no SS7 but all is SCTP. An attack of grabbing SMS text will only work if you are inside the operator's network, which has certainly vulnerabilities especially with peoples PCs that vpn into the core network. But if you are in that position you will probably be interested in many other aspects than just recovering some bitcoins. BTW I work for a mobile operator; these system trigger alarms when you login and commit a configuration. The you would need to understand a bit of things like AXE or DX200 nodes just to print something. This was just for some free PR by the authors.

You are correct too web oriented. Erlang is not an option, pitty because I do distributed apps with Erlang OTP. The closest could be Clojure but the result is the salary of a newly hired zero competence dude Was fun to try :-)

Hardly new. Around 1998 I was using Netscape Enterprise Server with Server Side Javascript. It integrated easily with Oracle (and probably other RDBMS). Certainly the JS engine was a bit fragile and could bring the whole server down, but it was also 20 years ago.
