Don't bother with any of those in-your-head translations. Just erase the English from your brain and speak Polish directly. If you forget a word, look it up if you have to, then use it. After you've used it a few times, it will stick. Polish is pretty hard though, from what I can tell. Even Hungarian is easier.

Oh. Tbh that doesn't sound very significant. LDAP might be enough by itself. Thanks.

That's unhelpful. How is it used? Thanks.

This looks interesting but it's horrendously long and my eyes glazed over (need more coffee...). Is there a shorter description of what it does? I.e. what are the keys used for and how are they generated? What is it that's getting encrypted? It sounds like it's supposed to be E2EE for PM's. A two or three sentence description saying how the E2EE works and how the private keys are stored would be very helpful.

Fediverse, no idea, maybe you'll get some responses from this thread since lots of such people are looking for work. I would probably try Hacker News freelancer/available threads (first business day of each month) or even post on Craigslist if you're in the right area.

Unpopular opinion: it's hard to beat youtube.

If none of the online and similar stuff works, it might be time for the family to file a missing person report. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_Agre about a guy who disappeared like that. He was eventually confirmed to be ok, but had apparently decided to go off the map for personal reasons.

There was also a medical researcher whose name I've forgotten, who also went dark iike that. Her family eventually found her and she said oh, she hadn't been up to much, and just didn't realize that anyone was looking for her. She did some well known work connecting allergies with cancer but I haven't been able to identify her through a few web searches. Anyone remember?

Added: aha, found. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margie_Profet

Added 2: Oh my, I didn't know the whole story. Profet apparently had physical and mental health issues, possibly schizophrenia, and she gradually pulled away from people who knew her, rather than suddenly vanishing. After she had been missing for years, the article above found its way to her and she contacted her family. IDK what if anything she has been doing since then, but she appears to still be around. She reminds me a bit of John Forbes Nash, mathematician who was the subject of the book and movie "A Beautiful Mind". https://blogs.nature.com/news/2012/05/missing-biologist-surfaces-reunites-with-family.html

This looks like vague handwaving. I don't see a mathematical idea there.

Good luck with that. Maybe also incorporate Asimov's 3 laws of robotics.

Well, MCU programming and hardware is another thing to know about ahead of time, but ok. There are tons of displays of all sizes on waveshare.com if you want. Tons more on aliexpress. A standard large billboard is apparently 48 ft wide (per web search) so you'd want to scale accordingly. Maybe with e-ink to simulate a reflective billboard. OLED's would be for neon signs and stuff.

I like the Raspberry Pi Pico because it's very well documented, but yeah, ESP32 stuff might be cheaper.

Post some pics when it's working!

I think if you don't already have a more solid plan than that, then this project is probably too complicated for now, and you might start with a single display. If the origina megacity is 22 miles across (fairly small for a megacity) then 1/220th of that is 1/10th of a mile which is pretty huge. A standard 48 foot billboard would scale to 2.6 inches wide.

I have a phone with no sim that I use sometimes over wifi, but I have another one with a sim that I sometimes use as a wifi hot spot for the no-sim phone.
