New release of Akvorado. ClickHouse is now configured with some indexes that should help making queries faster. We are also switching to Quay.io for Docker images as it is available over IPv6, unlike GitHub registry (the images are available on both).

A Cryptography Engineer’s Perspective on Quantum Computing Timelines The risk that cryptographically-relevant quantum computers materialize within the next few years is now high enough to be dispositive, unfortunately.

Two papers came out last week that suggest classical asymmetric cryptography might indeed be broken by quantum computers in just a few years.

That means we need to ship post-quantum crypto now, with the tools we have: ML-KEM and ML-DSA. I didn't think PQ auth was so urgent until recently.

Dial "1" for Wi-Fi YouTube video by Jeff Geerling

I built my own dial-up ISP, then connected to it over WiFi, using Apple's first AirPort base station, from the original iBook G3.

Still on lldpd, I got 3 security issues that were found by some LLM. They are not directly actionable since you need to compromise the unprivileged process first. They are well described and each of them was correct.

Looking at this issue in lldpd, I see two possible outcomes: 1. close the issue saying HP-UX is EOL end of 2025, 2. install HP-UX 11i with qemu and add support for it.

Akvorado BMP provider was a challenge to scale properly. Thanks to the help of one contributor, some progress was made by introducing RIB sharding. Current tests seem to show this is fruitful with 60M routes handled without much sweat!

Claude can't edit files that use tabs for indentation. It's amusing that this kind of bug still happens fairly frequently. Claude starts using "cat -A" and sed, and sometimes switch totally to Python to edit Go files. Can't Claude Code fix itself?
