[Links of the Day] 18/04/2019 : Decentralised networks made easy, Reload Linux system over ssh, Self Hosted push notification

  • Octopus : Octopus allow you to streamline the creation of decentralized networks.
  • reload.sh : Wipe, reinstall or restore your system from running GNU/Linux distribution. Via SSH, without rebooting. 
  • Gotify : A self-hosted push notification service. But beware as worth noting that this will use a noticeable amount of power more than Google cloud messaging. Google/Apple and others have special deals with carriers that might make such solution cost prohibitive.

[Links of the Day] 16/04/2019 : L3 VPN gateway, NSA reverse engineering toolkit, Proof of History based block-chain

  • Vita : high-performance L3 VPN gateway you can use to interconnect your networks.
  • Ghidra : the first real competitor to IDA Pro, the extremely expensive and often pirated state-of-the-art software for reverse engineering.
  • Solana : bold claim from the authors as they claim to support 710,000 tx/s with off-the-shelf hardware and no sharding. This seems to be enabled by leveraging proof od history mechanism rather than the traditional proof of work that bitcoin and al. use.
