System Architecture

I’ve been reading Alex Petrov’s Database Internals to learn more about how databases are implemented. One of the topics covered in the book is a data structure known as the B-tree. Rela…

Fiwix is an operating system kernel written in ANSI C from scratch, based on the UNIX architecture and fully focused on being POSIX compatible.

Grapycal is helpful for conducting experiments, including training AI, physical simulations, data analysis, computer art, and more. In the back-and-forth process between humans and machines, we need the higher interactivity provided by Grapycal to make the most of our creativity.

For five years, I've dedicated most of my side-project time to making apps and tools using the Solid Protocol. Many share its vision, but it's also common to hear criticisms. I'm often asked why I'm still working on Solid, or told about another project that is doing a better job at solving similar problems. Today, I'll go through some of the criticisms, share my own concerns, and answer why after all these years I'm still choosing Solid.

eBPF allows users to load and safely run custom programs within the Linux kernel, without requiring direct changes to the kernel itself. The possibilities are endless.

Today we're launching a new feature that will highlight writers and journalists that are active on the fediverse when their their articles are being shared.

The Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) is a software system developed in the early 1990s from the work of the Open Software Foundation (OSF), a consortium founded in 1988 that included Apollo Computer (part of Hewlett-Packard from 1989), IBM, Digital Equipment Corporation, and others.[1][2] The DCE supplies a framework and a toolkit for developing client/server applications.[3] The framework includes:

In my latest filesystem-themed post I discussed a technique to perform distributed resource management more safely. This time I'll explain how one might effectively combine _Reed-Solomon coding_ and _cyclic redundancy checks_. The first gives us redundancy (we can lose disks and still recover our data), the second protects us against data corruption.

Is 'idempotency' a real word, or did the tech world invent it? Why is it crucial for architecture?

Did you know that you can improve the work and development of software architectures through the so-called 'murder process'?

Modern data storage needs three operating planes to work, the control, service and data planes. We explain what these provide.

BitTorrent, also referred to as simply torrent, is a communication protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P), which enables users to distribute data and electronic files over the Internet in a decentralized manner. The protocol is developed and maintained by Rainberry, Inc., and was first released in 2001.[2]

Developed by the Freaknet, Netsukuku is a new p2p routing system, which will be utilised to build a worldwide distributed, anonymous and anarchical network, separated from the Internet, without the support of any servers, ISPs or authority controls. In a p2p network every node acts as a router, therefore in order to solve the problem of computing and storing the routes for 2^128 nodes, Netsukuku makes use of a new meta-algorithm, which exploits the chaos to avoid cpu consumption and fractals to keep the map of the whole net constantly under the size of 2Kb. Netsukuku includes also the Abnormal Netsukuku Domain Name Anarchy, a non hierarchical and decentralised system of hostnames management which replaces the DNS. It runs on GNU/Linux.
