Moving to Quora and other updates
I just realized that while I haven’t been blogging actively for years now, I’ve been psuedo-blogging at Quora.
In coming months the situation shall change around here as well as I’ve finally started working on Linux/OSS after a three year gap. After stints in Xbox and Windows 10 I have finally landed Linux work; I’m now developing disk encryption solutions for Linux VMs in Azure. As the feature gets closer to public availability (somewhere in July), I’ll be blogging fun stuff related to Linux disk encryption.
Meanwhile, Quora shall be my cyber-home. Some of my answers so far:
- What exactly does TOR do and how does it work?
- How do hackers hack? How do they get “in”?
- Is the FBI-Apple scandal proof that we cannot trust any product standards from the government?
- Why should our phones be impenetrable when everything else is not?
- Is there any other way to tracking online other than IP?
- There are so many internet users in the world, is my IP address unique or someone somewhere else has the same IP address as mine?
- Linux Kernel: What pieces of Linux’s code have remained without major modifications since its early versions?
- What should I do when a hacker has control of my computer?
- Cryptography: What advantage does a 25 character cypher have over a 26 character one?
- What should I do when a hacker has control of my computer?
- How does it feel to live in Saudi Arabia as an expatriate?
- How did Pakistan react when Osama was found in their country?
- Does Islam hate us (=Western Civilization)?
- What is your experience as a Muslim Republican?
- Is it politically incorrect to say “Islamic Terrorism”?
- Can you work as a software engineer/software developer without having a computer science degree?
