Oh wow you’re right - and neither “autonomous system” nor “AS” are much better keywords! I think this post from 2017 [0] is the one I’m remembering, but I’m pretty sure I saw another one more recently and now I can’t find it (edit: skitter found it! see sibling comment) “BGP” is a signal-yielding search [1]. And any post from benjojo’s blog [2] is always a must-read. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15727115…

Thanks!

I’m just about to live this hell. On advice from a friend, my response will be a simple one: no, because it doesn’t exist. It was written in Markdown [0]. Here’s a PDF. I’m expecting the usual pushback, and will reciprocate. I’ll let you know how it goes. [0]: https://github.com/johnnydecimal/resume/blob/main/resume.md (Yeah I shamelessly inserted my own résumé.)

Went through this. Gave up and remade it in Word. Practical beats pure sometimes. Tough for us HN types.

Can’t u just insert a screenshot of the of the pdf in a word document?

Not if you want the job. They run the word files through screening software which processes the text.

You can contribute to the Solana core tech team, with the incentive alignment of underlying token value as a partial backer! I think they're doing some really cool stuff on the network optimization level. As an example, Solana recently implemented QUIC in its latest release: https://github.com/solana-labs/solana/projects/74

Are they still using that hand-wavy "cryptographic proof that a duration of time has passed"?

What we care about is getting all the nodes to agree on what order the transactions occurred (aka "Proof of History"). And Solana's goal is to reach that agreement quickly, that's why they call themselves the most performant blockchain.

So how does Solana introduce a concept of "time" without relying on a central authority?

Solana uses a "hash that runs over itself continuously with the previous output used as the next input". Performing a hash over and over again takes some time. Then, someone can quickly verify that this "time" has occurred. The verification of the hashes can be parallelized on a GPU, which makes the verification extremely quick.

You can easily obtain a /44 and your own ASN as an individual, through various RIPE LIRs, no questions asked. If you're in the US, you'll have to procure an overseas VPS so you have a European presence.

Yesterday i was watching LSD documentary ( https://www.netflix.com/title/80229847 ). They briefly stated that LSD usage in California was very likely to have accelerated invention of computers. It helped people with problem solving.

How is that relevant?

I _think_ that if you know the real source and real destination of an ICMP message, you can just forge back a message with an arbitrary TTL exceeded message, from any "I'm IP address xxx" address. Those can come from a lot of rando IPs because the intent of them is just "at this hop, the TTL ran out", and the hops the original sender wouldn't know anyway. A lot of fake hops would be essentially impossible if you exam…

If you return fake IPs in a traceroute you won't be able to control the reverse DNS which is the point of this exercise.

You can however control the IPs, so you can pick IPs with funny nsa.gov/.mil/fbi rdns (and matching forward records).

Here's what it looks like: $ traceroute cv6.poinsignon.org traceroute to cv6.poinsignon.org (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::ff), 30 hops max, 80 byte packets 1 gateway 0.795 ms 0.789 ms [...] 8 hello (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::1) 1.431 ms 1.202 ms 9 My.name.is.Louis.Poinsignon (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::2) 1.649 ms 1.274 ms 10 I.am.a.network.and.systems.Engineer (2001:bc8:3eff:c0::3) 1.695 ms 2.090 ms 11 This.is.my.resume.over.traceroute (2001:b…

So is that mail.jobs@ or mail+jobs@... or jobs@ A total flop on the last line

Really, you're arguing about the email in a traceroute CV being somewhat ambiguous? Having to traceroute the thing is going to be a much bigger filter. And it's quite clear if you just read it out as spoken text and then try to get the address from that. Really, anyone actually interested in contacting the guy will manage just fine.

I work for a company that was acquired by Leidos relatively recently. Hello fellow coworker.
