c7h··on Meshtastic is an encrypted communications platform for the Lora RF protocol
We have tested it successfully with 4 nodes last week at the Fusion Festival in Germany - one of those where you have to battle constant cellular network outages - and were surprised to randomly see fellow meshtastic users extending the mesh network. It was one of those "open source technology is amazing" moments :D.
c7h··on Ask HN: Burnt-out, directionless but want to turn it around
It sounds to me like it's not because of your skills and experience. You have been working in your field for a long time. Very few developers are "rock stars". We all build on the shoulders of giants - sticking code together is a pragmatic approach - especially if you work for a startup. But it sounds to me like you're comparing yourself too much to your ideal. My tip: Compare yourself less with "rockstars", learn the skills you are really interested in and reduce your working hours to a bearable level.
c7h··on Fisher Price Chatter Telephone with Bluetooth
Without knowing the App, but the location permission could be required for Bluetooth 4.X LE to work. That still doesn't justify why a dryer needs your phonebook.
c7h··on Fax machines can be hacked to breach a network, using only its number (2018)
Guess I've seen this talk at 35C3 in 2018. https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9462-what_the_fax
c7h··on Mitmproxy – Open-source console-based proxy
one of the best tools for reverse engineering mobile apps. I'm just having problems when certificate pinning is enabled. Does anyone have an idea (or even a solution) how to deal with that?
c7h··on Sci-Hub: Public access to research papers
I agree. Anything that is taking away power from publisher like Elsevier is a good thing.
c7h··on Konrad Zuse and the digital revolution he started 75 years ago
I can highly recommend a visit there. Not only you can see an original Z4 and a replica of the Z3, but also lot's of more science and history related exhibitions. Don't miss the Enigma!
