Java was chosen because it offers a strong balance for this project in terms of portability, ecosystem maturity, and development velocity.
Rust would absolutely be a strong candidate for a security-focused tool like this. However, Java provides mature cryptographic APIs and straightforward cross-platform distribution via a single JAR.
C and C++ offer performance and control, but they introduce additional complexity around manual memory management and long-term maintenance. For this project, working in a managed runtime helps reduce certain classes of memory-related bugs.
Python is very productive and has excellent libraries, but for a file-heavy encryption workflow the performance characteristics and stronger static typing of Java are preferable.
KYIV — Two days after Elon Musk's SpaceX launched Starlink verification and blocked unverified terminals in Ukraine, the pace of Russia's offensive appears to be slowing, a Ukrainian military official told POLITICO.
“Currently, such a trend is indeed observed. But it will be necessary to monitor further whether it will continue, whether there will be other factors,” said the official, granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
“However, at some places, Ukrainian military Starlinks which have not been registered yet have also been disconnected. But the registration process is ongoing,” the official added.
"In fact, they [Russian units] have problems now. They are like blind kittens," a Ukrainian General Staff commanders told POLITICO separately, also granted anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
On Friday, Russian military bloggers, who in the past have praised Musk for his anti-Ukrainian rhetoric, complained about the mass failure of terminals for the Starlink satellite service that began on the evening on Feb. 4 on the frontline in Ukraine.
“The Russian Armed Forces used gray Starlinks to organize communications at the front. The danger is that it was an easy way compared to doing something new, pulling an ever-breaking optical fiber, setting up 'bridges,' or even working en masse with digital stations to organize the transmission of small data packets,” Russian pro-war military Telegram channel Dva Mayora, said in a post on Thursday. "Gray" Starlink terminals are ones that are not authorized or verified.
“Now it's either the old-fashioned way, or they'll come up with something of their own urgently,” the bloggers added, blaming Musk for assisting the Ukrainian army.
>Streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon, as well as major broadcasters, will be obliged to reinvest at least 8% of the annual revenue they earn in Germany back into the local industry.
>However, the measures state that if the streamers and broadcasters opt to invest 12% or more, they will be exempt from complex regulations obliging them to, for example, produce films in the German language.
You are just listing random software made in the EU, completely disregarding the fact that software is not even patentable in most of not all EU jurisdictions.
Oh okay then there are eu software patented, in example lots of SAP apps, medical software from Philips, network software from Ericsson and Nokia etc..
Yes, there are large EU companies which have filed for patents with the US patent office. These patents are worthless in front of an EU court because, as I said, code is usually considered a work of literature in EU copyright law and can thusly not be patented.
Well written. Shared with less technical colleagues. DNS witchcraft is never really understood — having a clearly written, understandable article is extremely useful.
Thanks, indeed I’m a compulsive selfhoster lover =]
The only limitation with this setup is that I can’t self host the blog’s analytics service (umami.is) because obviously a home server not exposed online can’t receive queries from the internet… but I’m just using a PikaPods pod.
? No the heart issues were correctly registered by the smartwatches
> Six months into the study, 21 patients wearing smartwatches were diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, four times more than the five cases detected in the non-smartwatch group. Notably, 12 of the smartwatch patients showed no symptoms, while all patients diagnosed in the traditional monitoring group experienced noticeable symptoms.
