Nebulon has developed a DPU specifically for edge servers, enabling their CPUs to fully focus on running applications.

This document specifies the "SVCB" ("Service Binding") and "HTTPS" DNS resource record (RR) types to facilitate the lookup of information needed to make connections to network services, such as for HTTP origins. SVCB records allow a service to be provided from multiple alternative endpoints, each with associated parameters (such as transport protocol configuration), and are extensible to support future uses (such as keys for encrypting the TLS ClientHello). They also enable aliasing of apex domains, which is not possible with CNAME. The HTTPS RR is a variation of SVCB for use with HTTP (see RFC 9110, "HTTP Semantics"). By providing more information to the client before it attempts to establish a connection, these records offer potential benefits to both performance and privacy.

This note describes additional optional resource records for use with the Domain Name System (DNS). These optional resource records are for use with the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP). This document is a product of the IRTF Routing Research Group. This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community.

TLDR: A demo speaks louder than a thousand words. You can connect to an isolated browser created by me and my team via browserling.com/browse. We run isolated browsers on our servers and stream just the browser window to you. ## Isolated Browser – What Is It? An isolated browser, also known as browser isolation is a...

A professor of semantic data processing channels Harry Potter to explain the role of advanced vector databases for better AI/ML performance.

Decentralized applications, where the identity and application data are both controlled by the person using the app provide the means of disintermediting companies who leverage their privileged position to work for their own interests and against ours.

The Linux kernel supports a wide variety of filesystems, many of which are no longer in heavy use — or, perhaps, any use at all. The kernel code implementing the less-popular filesystems tends to be relatively unpopular as well, receiving little in the way of maintenance. Keeping old filesystems alive does place a burden on kernel developers, though, so it is not surprising that there is pressure to remove the least popular ones. At the 2023 Kernel Maintainers Summit, the developers talked about these filesystems and what can be done about them.

DSOC, an experiment that could transform how spacecraft communicate, has achieved ‘first light,’ sending data via laser to and from far beyond the Moon for the first time.

This document provides the GNU Name System (GNS) technical specification. GNS is a decentralized and censorship-resistant domain name resolution protocol that provides a privacy-enhancing alternative to the Domain Name System (DNS) protocols. This document defines the normative wire format of resource records, resolution processes, cryptographic routines, and security and privacy considerations for use by implementers. This specification was developed outside the IETF and does not have IETF consensus. It is published here to inform readers about the function of GNS, guide future GNS implementations, and ensure interoperability among implementations (for example, pre-existing GNUnet implementations).

This document describes technical mechanisms employed in network censorship that regimes around the world use for blocking or impairing Internet traffic. It aims to make designers, implementers, and users of Internet protocols aware of the properties exploited and mechanisms used for censoring end-user access to information. This document makes no suggestions on individual protocol considerations, and is purely informational, intended as a reference. This document is a product of the Privacy Enhancement and Assessment Research Group (PEARG) in the IRTF.

Have you heard of webmentions? They’re similar to pingbacks—but modern—and allow websites to notify each other about different types of activity (like replies on social media). As of 2017, the protocol is a W3C recommendation.

It allows a user to be served with a personalized adapter while enhancing the LLM's response by adding recent data as context.
