10 Years of Stable Rust: An Infrastructure Story (rustfoundation.org)
Rust turns 10 today, or at least it’s been 10 years since the 1.0 release. In this decade (and the near-decade of development before!) it has undergone growth and change I can barely comprehend the scale of. To say I’m surprised by its trajectory would be a vast understatement: I can only thank, congratulate, and celebrate everyone involved. It is deeply inspiring to have watched all that’s happened over that time and reflect on it from today’s vantage point.

Celebrating 8 years of self-hosting Mail-in-a-Box – nilsnh.no (nilsnh.no)
One fateful weekend I decided to try and self-host my e-mail. Now over eight years later I have to commend the Mail-in-a-Box (MiaB) project, its main author @JoshData and the community around it. Thanks for the eight years so far and here’s to eight years more, and beyond!

Happy 15th Anniversary, KrebsOnSecurity (krebsonsecurity.com)
KrebsOnSecurity.com turns 15 years old today! Maybe it’s indelicate to celebrate the birthday of a cybercrime blog that mostly publishes bad news, but happily many of 2024’s most engrossing security stories were about bad things happening to bad guys. It’s also an occasion to note that despite my publishing fewer stories than ever this past year, we somehow managed to attract near record levels of readership (thank you!).

Let's Encrypt is 10 years old now (letsencrypt.org)
Vital personal and business information flows over the Internet more frequently than ever, and we don’t always know when it’s happening. It’s clear at this point that encrypting is something all of us should be doing. Then why don’t we use TLS (the successor to SSL) everywhere? Every browser in every device supports it. Every server in every data center supports it. Why don’t we just flip the switch?
