John Young, co-founder of web archive Cryptome, dies at 89 Obituary: The original leak site that never sold out, never surrendered

John Young, founder of Cryptome - an early model for WikiLeaks - has died. The Register has a good obituary. I had a run-in with John in 2010 after Cryptome got hacked and I wrote about it for Wired. He was often difficult to deal with but no one could doubt his dedication to the transparency cause

Quick reminder: when something is called "original" on Ali Express, it's still the same crap, just with a fake sticker and at double the price point.

A wise man once told me to buy a product based on its current state and not on its promises for the future. Same man told me, Apple was an exception, or something....

#android office connector has a annoying calendar syncing bug: it decides what to sync not based on the event's date but on the creation date of said event. An appointment made more than 15 days ago for tomorrow has a very high probability of being lost in sync.

It was nice and chill to take the time to answer questions, thanks again for joining!

Travel Tip: never buy anything at an airport duty free shop.
Heavily taxed items such as Tabacco is usually cheaper on the plane (!) itself. Everyday items are much much cheaper in supermarkets.

For that design, we will probably be the first ones put against the wall when the AI uprises.

Extract (un-deflate) the first file in a .zip archive without #unzip using #bash:
h=(`hexdump -d in.zip | head -2`); (printf "\x1f\x8b\x08\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00"; tail -c +`echo 31+${h[15]}+${h[16]}|bc` < in.zip ) | gzip -dc > outfile

I fixed the Usenix Security badge ribbons...

GPS jamming (& spoofing) explained In this video we walk you through what GPS jamming and spoofing is, the difference between the two, and our new Flightradar24 GPS jamming map which shows you up to date info about where in the world GPS jamming is currently affecting aircraft. Then we let the pilots of our recent SAS flight from Copenhagen to Bangkok explain some of what they experience due to GPS jamming, and what they do to mitigate it.

Also only in Germany: Your PhD certificate is in German and English, but it is from Austria, so we need it recertified for €200,- and it will take around 3 months.

Some characters in the book seem to have limitations.

Upon closer inspection of the two HTML outputs, you might be right. It looked plausible from what the support personnel was telling me. Nonetheless, running through a third-party LaTex parser helped me eliminate problems that also tripped up TAPS.

I made a responsible disclosure recently about some LTE stuff using the MNO's infrastructure domains in the form of ...mnc<id>.mcc<id>.pub.3gppnetwork.org - but because some of those 16 providers' IP addr are also on the Spamhaus list, the German science network is rejecting delivering those emails.

if it compiles, take your HTML URL, change .html to .log, and convince yourself that it is indeed a Windows box.

If your file does not compile, you need to write tapssupport - to either unblock/reset the submission system or look at your code. They will not do it on their own (tested for 6 days). Don't expect any error logs from them - begging doesn't help. They are super-close-lipped.

Want to test if something is compiled in pdftex@Overleaf or somewhere else /or target?
\ifdefined\pdfstrcmp
\ifnum\pdfstrcmp{\jobname}{output}=0
overleaf
\else
somewhere else
\fi
\fi

also the LaTeX parsers are slightly different. TAPS' table parser doesn't like \\%... . be sure to add a space in between: \\ %....
Also the last line of a file should end with a new line.

Many of the "allowed" packages are not the real packages - they are mostly Perl re-implementations (in LateXML). Some advanced functions and some hooking mechanisms will likely not work. Use the above pdf/html switch to provide different mechanisms.

TAPS injects a stub package file (acmart-taps.sty), that can also be leveraged to distinguish HTML and pdf targets as well:
gist.github.com/xiaohk/e4c62...
So the PDF can get a paginated table, while the HTML gets one big table.
