The Gemini protocol as seen by cURL's creator (haxx.se)
There is again a pull-request submitted to the curl project to bring support for the Gemini protocol. It seems like a worthwhile effort that I support, even if it is also a lot of work involved and it might take some time before it reaches the state in which it can be merged. A previous attempt at doing this was abandoned a while ago.

Hickory DNS Is Moving Toward Production Readiness (memorysafety.org)
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a foundational part of the Internet. It stores data associated with domain names, like web server addresses and mail server addresses. Almost all network connections are preceded by a DNS lookup. The most popular DNS server implementations are written in C, and as a result, they have been affected by a series of memory safety vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can put DNS infrastructure at risk, as well as any system that depends on DNS.

Do It Yourself Database CDN with Embedded Replicas (turso.tech)
Imagine you have a user in Singapore, and your database is in the US. Every time the user makes a request, it has to travel halfway around the world, which can lead to high latency and poor performance.

Trust, 2-Party Relays, and QUIC (obscura.net)
2-Party Relays largely resolve the trust and privacy problem inherent in existing consumer VPNs QUIC-based VPN protocols blend in with HTTP/3 traffic, bypassing network filters while avoiding the TCP-over-TCP slowdown We built a new VPN named Obscura based on these two insights, partnering with Mullvad as our exit hop

NAT Is the Enemy of Low Power Devices (golioth.io)
If you have ever tried communicating with a device on a private network, you may have encountered Network Address Translation (NAT). Fundamentally, when one device needs to send data to another device, it needs to know how to address it.

I cannot believe there's no way to use a 27" 2015 iMac as a second display (macrumors.com)
It just seems totally INSANE that there's no way to use an iMac 27" 2015 as a display without hardware hacks. In 2025. I don't need high FPS or anything. I mean, the iMac and the MacBook are on the same network, surely there is some solution which works over the local network.

Getaddrinfo sucks. everything else is much worse (gosu.se)
DNS is one of the critical building blocks of the internet and of the modern web. For the longest time the only way for Firefox to resolve a DNS domain was by using getaddrinfo. What's remarkable about this function is that it's implemented on Linux, Windows, MacOS - even Android. It has the same signature, and works in roughly the same way, even though the implementation in these operating systems doesn't share the same code base.
