Re:Show HN: Knockles – eBPF Port Knocking Tool on Monday August 29, 2022 @10:44AM (#32638917)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think iptables allows you to authenticate the knocks? Also, anyone listening to your network would be able to replay the sequence and open the port.

This project reminds me a bit of moxie's knockknock[1], where the idea of port knocking is kept intact, but with some added security. Plus, it seems really easy to setup, compared to writing dozens of iptables rules.

Re:Ask HN: Do you use a Chromebook for dev? What is your toolchain? on Friday May 22, 2015 @10:56AM (#9588663)

I have an Acer C200 (low-end Chromebook) running Crouton. I use it for all my day-to-day programming because it has great battery life (about 10 hours).

There are occasional slowdowns, mainly when using Firefox. The 16Gb of SSD are quite limiting, but it's usable.

I mainly develop using Emacs with various extensions. I've tried Eclipse and it wasn't even remotely powerful enough. I do Python, C++, Web dev and a bit of Common Lisp.

Be aware that dual-booting Linux isn't yet possible on BayTrail-powered Chromebooks because of compatibility issues with SeaBIOS.

What's a Lada on top of a hill? A miracle.

What' two Ladas on top of a hill? Science-fiction.

What's three Ladas on top of a hill? A weird place to build a Lada factory.

There's also libtcod[0], a library to help creating roguelikes. There are bindings in a lot of languages (Common Lisp, Nimrod, Lua, Go, D...) and it's a real pleasure to use! I used to work on a Python roguelike, and I can't recommend this lib enough.
