DEDA – Tracking Dots Extraction, Decoding and Anonymisation Toolkit (github.com/dfd-tud)
Document Colour Tracking Dots, or yellow dots, are small systematic dots which encode information about the printer and/or the printout itself. This process is integrated in almost every commercial colour laser printer. This means that almost every printout contains coded information about the source device, such as the serial number.

How Big Is OpenVMS? (vmssoftware.com)
This question was asked during my Boot Camp presentation last fall in Boston, and over the past 35 years dozens of times people have asked, how big is VMS? That translates into "how many lines of code are in VMS"? I thought it was time to at least make a stab at pursuing some insight into the answer. I wrote some command procedures to count the number of source lines in .B32, .B64, .C, .MAR, .M64, and .S files.

Discover European alternatives to popular SaaS (xwiki.com)
Let’s face it: Big Tech companies will always put their interests first. If Europe truly wants digital sovereignty, we need to stop handing over our infrastructure to Silicon Valley giants. Yet, despite all the talk, many businesses and governments still sign contracts with Microsoft, Google, and Atlassian, locking themselves into foreign control. We can’t afford to keep making the same mistake.

Why Kagi launched "no use, no pay" (getlago.substack.com)
Paying for a SaaS subscription you don’t use sucks. Sure, I don’t use that shameful cupboard with the ice cream maker, sous-vide device and electric ham-cutter either, but at least those things don’t charge me again!

V8: From CFG to Sea of Nodes and back again (v8.dev)
V8’s end-tier optimizing compiler, Turbofan, is famously one of the few large-scale production compilers to use Sea of Nodes (SoN). However, since almost 3 years ago, we’ve started to get rid of Sea of Nodes and fall back to a more traditional Control-Flow Graph (CFG) Intermediate Representation (IR), which we named Turboshaft.

Stop syncing everything (sqlsync.dev)
Partial replication sounds easy—just sync the data your app needs, right? But choosing an approach is tricky: logical replication precisely tracks every change, complicating strong consistency, while physical replication avoids that complexity but requires syncing every change, even discarded ones. What if your app could combine the simplicity of physical replication with the efficiency of logical replication? That’s the key idea behind Graft, the open-source transactional storage engine I’m launching today.
