Has anyone tried scaleway?

I enjoyed "A Beginner's Guide to Reality" by Jim Baggott.

Try to find an opensource project that really interests you and go through the whole architecture. Try to think of new features, implement them and when you think they might be of interest to others, create a pull request. When you think you understood how everything works, continue with another project.

Over time you will recognize that the same patterns occur in different projects and even languages.

For the beginning I'd suggest to stay away from frameworks that do too much magic. If you are interested in web, start with Flask, not Spring.

Congrats, I'll give it a try in one of my next side projects.

I rember reading a blog post about crate facing data loss in some cases:

Is this still an issue?

Sounds very interesting to me - can you provide some more information about the current state, features and technology?

I think it's still important to find a good balance for the computational cost of the crypto puzzle.

Attackers will probably have a lot of computational resources (think of AWS, botnets, GPU computations), while typical users don't (mobile phones).

I haven't had time yet to look into the IPFS details yet, but thanks for the reference.

Of course. I just wanted to get an idea of the reasons without going too much into mathematical details. For projects I would just use argon 2 or bcrypt.

Can I achieve the same by applying SHA x times?

What are the advantages of bcrypt compared to SHA based hashes with unique salts?

For most of the P2P overlays there are multiple serious attack possibilities (Sybil attack, routing table poisoning).

Some years ago in the university I wrote a paper about that in a seminar to summarize the possible counter meassures, but from what I remember, there were no really practical solutions. I think the most promising one is the use of a centralized certificate authority, which reintroduces some of the problems p2p wanted to solve. Does anyone know if new ideas have come up in the last years?
