Public Service Announcement: If you've worked in the UK, and you've changed the UK number that you use for accessing Gov.UK services, it is impossible to restore access because the default recovery workflow requires UK-issued photo ids: either a UK passport, or a UK driving license, are mandatory, even if you never had one or provided one in the first place.
Happily enough, as long as you keep your National Insurance Number, you can create a new Gateway ID, but this time follow…

Phone physics and the Gateway Arch: Fun with friends and physics at the AAPT Winter Meeting in St. Louis
As a famous landmark and feat of engineering, the Gateway Arch was a popular destination at the 2025 AAPT Winter Meeting in St. Louis. The visit to the observation deck of the Gateway Arch is unique, climbing the steps after exiting the small tram capsules and seeing a floor that continues to slope upward assures that you are in fact at the very top. Everyone in our group excitedly took pictures, pointing out local features like the Dred Scott Courthouse. There were many selfies at the pinnacle…

On the Identification of Exotic Compact Binaries with Gravitational Waves: a Phenomenological approach
Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy has been hailed as a gateway to discovering unexpected phenomena in the universe. Over the last decade there have been close to one hundred GW observations of compact-binary mergers. While these signals are largely consistent with mergers of binary black holes, binary neutron stars, or black hole-neutron star systems, some events suggest the intriguing possibility of binaries involving exotic compact objects (ECOs). Identifying and characterising an ECO merger …

The Carrollian Kaleidoscope
The Carroll group arises in the vanishing speed of light limit of the Poincaré group and was initially discarded as just a mathematical curiosity. However, recent developments have proved otherwise. Carroll and conformal Carroll symmetries are now ubiquitous, appearing in diverse physical phenomena starting from condensed matter physics to quantum gravity. This review aims to provide the reader a gateway into this fast-developing field. After an introduction and setting the stage with basics o…

The Blind Spot of BGP Anomaly Detection: Why LSTM Autoencoders Fail on Real-World Outages
Deep learning has significant potential to make the Internet's Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) secure by detecting anomalous routing activity. However, all but a few of these approaches rely on the implicit assumption that anomalies manifest as noisy, high-complexity outliers from some normal baseline. This work challenges this assumption by investigating if a best-in-class detection model built on this assumption can effectively deal with real-world security events' diverse signatures. We employ…

I believe I have managed to prove my ID in order to comply with the new laws that say I have to prove my ID to own the business I own that I'm sure already asked me to prove my ID when I registered it.
First we tried the on-web version, but that apparently relies upon the corporates having managed to profile and track me, because it told me they had no questions upon which to base identification. Good I guess? My avoid-tracking systems must be working at least a bit?
Next we tried the android app, but apparently the phone I tried that with is too old and the app won't install.
So next option is turning up at a post office with a printed letter. I don't own a printer though, so had to have them post that to me.
Took the letter and a driving licence up to the post office today and "It's not going through" they said, pointing to a stalled progress bar on an android app on a tablet.
Um. Okay. So?
Just wait longer apparently. About ten minutes and it finally proceeded and the post office man took a photograph of me after asking me to disrobe of my robe, strip down to a teeshirt and jeans.
Not sure in what sense this has proven my ID any more than it was already proven to get the driving licence or company registration in the first place?
Apparently I now have government logins for "One Login" and for "government gateway" and they are not the same thing? But sort of are the same thing?
Can't say I really understand it. Expect they'll introduce a third government login when they do these Digital ID cards they're talking about.
God knows how I'm supposed to know which to use when the company tax records need updating in a few months.

My least favorite work interactions are with customers’ 3rd party “rockstar” consultants. I never know how to respond to certain sorts of queries. Ones where I could answer the question as asked but it really implies a deeper misunderstanding. I feel like I want to write him a treatise on VPNs: what they are and how they work. And Cc his boss (who shares his surname…) to communicate the depth of the problem.
I’m letting my boss handle it. He’s the networking guy anyway…

Sigh, DHCPv6 still unusable for an IPv6-only Debian 13 (trixie) netinstall. Gets a lease but drops it almost immediately and doesn't renew.
So, I have to:
- Get a lease
- Switch to the shell to see what the lease is
- Go back to network config and select static network
- Set that address with a netmask of ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:: and a blank gateway
- Proceed with install

Our hotel wifi keeps glitching. I'm guessing that there's a captive portal or something that is disabled, but the device randomly wants to send people to that network. Sometimes you'll have a 10.0.x.x IP address and everything will be fine, but other times you connect and you'll get a 192.168.1.x IP address and can't even reach the gateway (192.168.1.250). So on two different laptops, I've had to disable dhcp and hardcode 10.0.x.x IP addresses in order to get working …

Seems pretty legit to me!

Cloud-Based Interoperability in Residential Energy Systems
As distributed energy resources (DERs) such as solar PV, batteries and electric vehicles become increasingly prevalent at the edge, maintaining grid stability requires advanced monitoring and control mechanisms. This paper presents a scalable smart grid gateway architecture that enables interoperability between Modbus-based inverters and IEEE 2030.5 cloud-based control systems. The proposed solution leverages Azure cloud services and edge-computing gateway devices to support dynamic configurati…

Built a NAS recently to act as a gateway/NFS storage for a couple proxmox nodes for a small business.
The proxmox nodes are stateless only ever storing VMs on the NFS share. The idea was 100% data redundancy, not so much uptime redundancy.
I'm already scheming to upgrade the link between the NAS and the proxmox nodes with at least a 10g SPF direct attach solution later. 2.5G is enough for now.

LoRaIN: A Constructive Interference-Assisted Reliable and Energy-Efficient LoRa Indoor Network
LoRa is a promising communication technology for enabling the next-generation indoor Internet of Things applications. Very few studies, however, have analyzed its performance indoors. Besides, these indoor studies investigate mostly the RSSI and SNR of the received packets at the gateway, which, as we show, may not unfold the poor performance of LoRa and its MAC protocol, LoRaWAN, indoors in terms of reliability and energy-efficiency. In this paper, we extensively evaluate the performance of Lo…

BEAR: BGP Event Analysis and Reporting
The Internet comprises of interconnected, independently managed Autonomous Systems (AS) that rely on the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) for inter-domain routing. BGP anomalies--such as route leaks and hijacks--can divert traffic through unauthorized or inefficient paths, jeopardizing network reliability and security. Although existing rule-based and machine learning methods can detect these anomalies using structured metrics, they still require experts with in-depth BGP knowledge of, for example…
