Erlang Elixir Node Security Flaws

Erlang Elixir Node Security Flaws

cyber security erlang elixir node

This is an ATTENTION to all Elixir/Phoenix/Erlang users out there that use distributed nodes or software that uses nodes. Whenever I talk about Erlang or Elixir you can interpret both since it’s the same underlying system at work.
I’m not talking about node.js. But about the distributed OTP programming system that beats the hell out every other programming language.
All programming languages want to do distributed programming like Elixir and Erlang do when they grow up. I’ve recently started implementing distributed OTP systems and I’m still awed by the powers of the Elixir, Erlang and OTP ecosystem!
NOTE: Windows users…​ you might have to figure out how to do it with Putty:) There is an inherent security "flaw" which could lead to big problems if let unattended. Read below for more info

Elixir Game Devlog 0x09 - Game Database - Importing all JSON files

\N

Phew, It’s nearly time I implemented a Game Database!
I mean, using JSON files for holding data is great but working with it in the format provided isn’t.
Loading each file and converting it to JSON and then loading another one and then trying to combine them all makes it extremely difficult to code something worthwhile.

Mobile and tablet landscape - A failure - Polluting the world with shiny new crap

Mobile and tablet landscape - A failure - Polluting the world with shiny new crap

mobile landscape vaporware 825x510

The title seems disastrous even tragic. This is is meant to make you think about it.
This is why I never bought a tablet. Even though I’m working in the tech industry.
I find that tablets are useless for programming. If you want to do anything worthy you need to pay so much money that you’re better off with a lightweight laptop.
The mobile and tablet landscape is a closed source disaster! I call them VaporWare.
Open Source is not about something being free, It’s about the source being available for it to be repurposed!
