Who would use unsafe Java to write "security-critical" software?
I don't think you understand the words written yourself. At least provide some relevant, convincing examples instead of throwing these claims around.

Edit: I literally found the article from my childhood project of replicating the website of the article, sitting in Google Drive trash, awaiting the 30days deletion. I searched for the exact title and indeed the article is nuked from the entire internet including webarchive except mere links on FB and Twitter. Three letter guys caught red handed. Here's the data of the article: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/…
Oh that’s not hard to find https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Omar_Abu_Ali I agree, this is egregious. At least I’m allowed to say that and advocate strongly against such stuff without fear of reprisal. In many parts of the world I wouldn’t be allowed to criticize the government. (In fact I’m vacationing in one right now) Edit: I think the fact that typing his name into a browser provided me not just Wikipedia but…

Why would you need a national software stack when there's open source solutions for everything?
Tech nerds often don't realize how much the world of software is subject to the real world. You can be cut off access to any technology if your country is not willing to give its natural resources to another. No different from trade sanctions. Open source is a bunch of individuals helpless in the face of orders from Pentagon to close it all up. * You won't have the expertise to quickly build your own solutions when t…

I don't think this take understands Java's position, relevance, or the roles it serves. Or even what are the important categories, driving most of software development (it's not enulators, broswers -of which they're just a handful, all in C++, or "basic software" whatever that means). For starters, Java is by no means used just in "corporateware", if this means some intranet stuff. It's also hugely dominant in server…
That doesn't say anything about CVE's and the issues on being not so performant against the new iterations of C# or even PHP >7. I know that if you were to work in any company, Java would ve everywhere, but today the times changes. Even the Crustacean lang it's preferable againt Java on big backends. On the ligther workloads, Golang works great and it solves the multiplatform issue by crosscompiling from anywhere to…
In any case, there's some serious lack of seriousness in the above. I mean, Java "not so performant against the new iterations of C# or even PHP >7"?

What do you mean by "unsafe Java"?? Do you mean Java as a language is somehow unsafe? I beg to disagree - it's one of the most scrutinized platforms you can find and widely used in all sorts of security critical software everywhere.
Java has soooo many security vulnerabilities - just browse around a bit...

This isn't about cracking down on piracy or anything of that sort. It's about slowly getting control of the media and information channels that Russian people have access to. The same playbook that China has been using since forever. Authorities have been encouraging popular Internet celebrities to start posting their content on local networks/apps, so in time Western media sources like Youtube and Twitter will be bl…
I don't live in China. Yet I'd very much like my country having its own national software stack (OS, search engine, browser, social media apps). All is fine for you guys in the US, but you forget when our national interests conflict with yours or big tech corporations or when the privacy of our citizens is concerned, it happens to be a national security issue. I trust my own government to not spy on me unnecessarily,…
sadly, wireguard/openvpn does not not provide any obfuscation mechanism at protocol level
I think this is a good thing. Apply obfuscation on top of WireGuard, that way you can have the functionality and security of the WireGuard tunnel and swap between different obfuscation techniques as needed.
I have been researching VPN protocols that work in China and found that Xray [0] is the most recommended route to escape the GFW. An ideal VPN setup is one where packets appear as normal https traffic. Some VPN setups take it a step further and proxy the traffic through Cloudflare. Setting all this up is nowhere as easy as Wireguard. Coincidentally, I came across this project on Github earlier today which is an obfus…
Is it possible to tunnel over SSH through GFW? User connects to server inside GFW, which tunnels outside, and onto the web?
