Build the future of web apps at the edge: auth, data, and publishing for front end devs

Ideas are everywhere and they shape our reality. They are real, living, breathing, things that are solid tangible; they have a whole life cycle just like us. Some of them are straightforward, ordinary, practical and a little boring, some are eureka moments, some are roller coaster rides. All of...

Much of the recent discussion regarding the Ktap dynamic tracing system was focused on the addition of a Lua interpreter and virtual machine to the kernel. Virtual machines seem like an inappropriate component to be running in kernel space. But, in truth, the kernel already contains more than one virtual machine. One of those, the BPF interpreter, has been growing in features and performance; it now looks to be taking on roles beyond its original purpose. In the process, it may result in a net reduction in interpreter code in the kernel.

As of late, concerns about the future of Twitter have caused many of its users to seek alternatives. Amid this upheaval, an open-source microblogging service called Mastodon has received a great deal of attention.

Servers communicate with each other, allowing people on different servers to send each other messages and follow each other's posts. Mastodon doesn't just talk to itself, though; it can exchange messages with anything that speaks the ActivityPub protocol. There are many such implementations, so someone who wants to deploy their own microblogging service enjoys a variety of choices.
