An OTFS-based Random Access Scheme for GNSS Independent Operation in NTN
This paper investigates the random access procedure for non-terrestrial networks operating without global navigation satellite system (GNSS) support. In such scenarios, positioning uncertainties can reach several kilometers, which directly impacts the open-loop compensation mechanisms employed by the user equipment. To ensure that the resulting time and carrier frequency offsets can be handled by the network, the robustness of the standardized random access signal design and detection scheme mu…

Why are the program header flags at a different position in 64-bit ELF?!

The End Of Universal Lifelong Identifiers: Identity Systems For The AI Era
Many identity systems assign a single, static identifier to an individual for life, reused across domains like healthcare, finance, and education. These Universal Lifelong Identifiers (ULIs) underpin critical workflows but now pose systemic privacy risks. We take the position that ULIs are fundamentally incompatible with the AI era and must be phased out. We articulate a threat model grounded in modern AI capabilities and show that traditional safeguards such as redaction, consent, and access c…

If you’re posting all of the life lessons from your best-selling book using AI-generated illustrations and images, I can’t help but think you might have written huge parts of that book with AI as well… 🤔

I've spent little to no time on Mastodon in the last few weeks, let alone posting...
The reason has been the illness and then death of my beloved dog “Sam”, aka “Unixdog”, which has left me pretty broken up.
The grief is still not out of my heart, and it doesn't look like things are getting better at the moment, but I will try to bring normality back into my life and thus post Linux and Open Source related topics here again.
And I hope that Sam is doing well in dog…

Jerry Falwell and #MeToo agree that men who want sex are evil.
When Christian Fundamentalist Conservatives and Radical Feminists agree, people who still have some common sense need to stick together and fight for sanity.

The Democrats Are Now The Moral Majority - in the worst possible way One of the most fascinating things in the last few decades of U.S. politics is the total reversal of the sex-positive vs sex-negative positions of the two main parties. In the 80s and 90s the Republicans were the party of Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority. The sex-phobic Puritan idiots were all in the GOP. The sex-positive enjoy life and don't suppress healthy natural desires party was the Democrats. In the 90s the …
