Well written piece on an attack vector I'd never thought too hard about before. Thanks for elaborating on why sending an email or two to a random person helps an attacker achieve their goal. A lot of similar articles skip over details like that.
How is FE not actual programming? I spend less time on FE than I once did, but it has presented some of the most interesting programming challenges I've encountered in my career. It's a large technical space, rich with 'actual' programming to be done.
> Romania reportedly has unlimited for 4€ but I don't know which operator.
Orange Yoxo is the only one which has actually-unlimited, all the others have a fine-print somewhere with "up to X GB/month, then bandwidth is severely throttled".
I'm using the 4.9€ plan for a mountain webcam[1] and they have been true to their word, no throttling so far.
Played around with the code to implement a little bit of SIMD. Was able to squeeze out a decent improvement, ~250 fps avg, ~140 low, ~333 high (on an m4). Looks pretty straightforward to do threading with as well. Cool stuff! Could work to bring more gpu stuff back down to the cpu.
