The plan of action: keep at it by attacking more wargames and CTF (capture the flag) contests. Also, I should probably try to consider bug bounties, to be able to orient the skills to real world problems as well.
I'd like to learn Japanese. I'm hoping to travel there in June after I graduate from college, and I figure it would help if I could talk to people (or try, at least). I'd also like to get better at Rust. I've written a few small projects in it at hackathons, but I've yet to get to the point where I'm comfortable writing in it. I'd like to get close to that. I'm taking a class prior to graduation in abstract algebra,…
Couple of quick pointers wrt Japanese. First, human languages take a long time to get good at. If we think that children learn faster than adults (which I think is not actually true, but it's a widely held belief), then it will take you 5 years to talk like a 5 year old, 10 years to talk like a 10 year old and 15-20 years to talk like an adult -- minimum. If you study very effectively, I think you can double this spe…
I really enjoyed -- and benefited from -- "The Japanese Reader Collection". There's about 5 thin volumes available from Amazon. They're basically Japanese children's stories, written in Kanji with Furigana and lots of annotations. Every word and sentence is explained and translated to English.
I started off by simply reading the Furigana at normal reading speed, without caring about reading comprehension. This greatly helped with my kana reading. It especially helped me learn to cope with the lack of spaces in Japanese. Then I started to focus on the meaning. And now that I've memorized most the JLPT Level 5 Kanji, I'm starting to focus on recognizing them in the context of these stories.
My goal for 2017 is to get a _lot_ better at the fields of reverse engineering and vulnerability discovery (as well as showing PoC). The plan of action: keep at it by attacking more wargames and CTF (capture the flag) contests. Also, I should probably try to consider bug bounties, to be able to orient the skills to real world problems as well.

I have played with LoRa using Arduinos and an RPi that forwarded the transmissions to a web-service. Going from the 'hello world' ping to data is an extremely easy step using the right library.
I'm sure it's easy, however right now the range part is where the blockage is: I get a SNR of -11 and RSSI of -107.. which results in just a few meters of transmission. Using a Draguino Lora Shield + Hat combination, with the antenna which was in the box. Dunno what I'm doing wrong - what hardware and library did you use?
