I really want to see the benchmarks on this ; tried it like 4 days ago and then built a standard epoll implementation ; I could not compete against nginx using uring but that's not the easiest task for an arrogant night so I really hope you get some deserved sweet numbers ; mine were a sad deception but I did not do most of your implementation - rather simply tried to "batch" calls. Wish you the best of luck and much fun

Hei ! Just wanted to drop by to say that i tested this with a black and white logo that I had generated ; sounded like the worst case scenario ; it handled it flawlessly ; the picture didn't look the best - but the job was done and it worked. Bookmarked it will definitely use it if i need to !

Is this a commercial project or an open-source ?

I urge you to read the papers and articles I linked at the end if any of this is your jam. They are incredible bangers all of them.

> stirring up paranoia is not going to solve the problem

There are reasonable tools that have been deployed and are existing for police enforcement ; notably with the coordination of ISP providers. The fact that encryption has been democratized does indeed change the situation for enforcement but this does not mean everybody should be spied on by default.

Here's the thing, more appropriate tools for criminal activity encompass not only encryption but stenography technics, maybe even just signaling.

It's so easy to bypass that it only steer up the problem an order of magnitude further, makes the life harder for everybody, and creates a situation where everybody's data is basically on some server.

Now, knowing how capable institutions are able to protect data ; well i'm telling you there is 0 way I envision continuing my journey on the internet if it means that everything i look at, say or have an opinion on can be used against me eventually.

I regularly see articles pop in here about OS development happening in China but I find it very hard to find resource in English about what’s actually happening.

Could anyone give an overview of what Huawei and Vivo are doing? I understand it’s mostly RTOS to use on phone. How does it compare to QNX and Linux? Is it as ambitious as Fuchsia?

Apparently they are shipping. It’s weird that we have reached a point where there seem to be two worlds not talking to each other much.

I think there might be more of this coming. The era where US was leading everything and expecting everyone to be a good boy who report everything is long gone due to the current state of affairs in the tech world.

I'm not Chinese but I can only support such efforts that make everyone less reliable on main actors. That said they even share their work so it's not like they are going full mute.

I am then quite torn: keep using SuperCollider with all the accumulated UGens and example code, or switch to this elegant language and start over with a lot of basics... Leading to the question: any bridges or ways to integrate and reuse between the two?

I wonder if AI could help you translate those or write a translater ? Idk if the language is complex tough

There are many reasons Cloudflare should be hated. The main one is that their goal is to centralize the Internet. A secondary one is all those bloody captchas. A tertiary one is that they often block Tor, even if you pass a captcha. Yes, it's configurable, but their recommended settings are the ones that help break the internet. A fourth one is that many DDoS-for-hire sites are protected behind Cloudflare, which allows them because they are good for its business model. Need I go on?

However in this case I think we can rely on them to tell us what they did. If they say they got a 7.3 Tbps UDP DDoS, chances are good they actually did.

tbh i get you ; but one has to realize this has nothing to do with that company and everything to do with the current nature of technological business where "everyone wins it all

What I say is that instead of hating on cloudflare one can look up how a DNS server works and start getting into DDOS mitigation ; but even after a couple of month anybody would still just have scratched the surface of it.

I don't think it's Cloudflare "goal" to centralize the internet, neither it is to set up captcha everywhere ; but it's definitely frustrating

6r17 commented on Homomorphically Encrypting CRDTs   jakelazaroff.com/words/ho... · Posted by u/jakelazaroff

As the article mentions, fully homomorphic encryption is insanely slow and inefficient. But I have to say that it is a relatively new field (the first FHE scheme was discovered in 2009), and that the field has immensely progressed over the last decade and a half.

The first FHE scheme required keys of several TB/PB, bootstrapping (an operation that is pivotal in FHE schemes, when too many multiplications are computed) would take thousands of hours. We are now down to keys of "only" 30 MB, and bootstrapping in less than 0.1 second.

Hopefully progress will continue and FHE will become more practical.

CRDTs are also crazy slow due to their architecture ; even the best alg out there are costly by design ; so adding homomorphic encryption is even more of a challenge ; tough it really is impressing I'm curious if this can be usable at all;

edit so i bring some "proof" of my claim: from this very page : `To calculate the new map, the server must go through and merge every single key. After that, it needs to transfer the full map to each peer — because remember, as far as it knows, the entire map is different.`
