Boring Technology, Boring Architecture
If you spend any time in modern software discourse, it’s easy to come away with the impression that “serious” systems are built from microservices and micro frontends. Multiple deployables.

An Architecture for IP in Deep Space
The IP protocol stacks used on Earth's Internet are typically configured based on assumptions of short delays and mostly uninterrupted communications. This document describes an architecture of the IP protocol stack tailored for its use in deep space. It involves buffering IP packets in IP forwarders facing intermittent links and adjusting transport protocol configurations and application protocol timers. This architecture applies to the Moon, Mars, and general interplanetary networking.

The message on Trump’s coin is clear.
And it’s chilling.
On Thursday, the Trump administration won approval for an unprecedented coin design from the Commission of Fine Arts,
the advisory panel founded in 1910 that evaluates the aesthetic merit of new federal architecture, landscaping and the design of our money, medals and other commemorative works

The design of the coin,
though not beautiful,
is perfectly clear in its message.
And the message is …

The message on Trump’s coin is clear. And it’s chilling.
Julius Caesar also broke with tradition by putting himself on a coin. It didn’t go over so well.

The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) secures Internet routing by binding IP prefixes to authorized Autonomous Systems, yet its RSA foundations are vulnerable to quantum adversaries. A naive swap to post-quantum (PQ) signatures (eg Falcon) is a poor fit for RPKI's bulk model: every relying party (RP) repeatedly fetches and validates the entire global repository, so larger keys and signatures inflate bandwidth and CPU cost, especially during a long dual-stack transition.

Basically a J2EE app that talks HTML5 with WebSocket (or falls back to a custom HTTP-based stream proto) to a JS client in the browser on the front end, and speaks its own abstract remote desktop proto to a backend proxy that talks RDP or VNC to desktop servers.

screengrab from Guac docs explaining its history: Historically, Guacamole was an HTML5 VNC client, and before that, a JavaScript Telnet client called RealMint ("RealMint" is an anagram for "terminal"), but this is no longer the case.

Yeah, why not neglect all the good recommendations in the #Python ecosystem, and instead fork your own C extension package, force people to build it with #ZigLang (it's still C), add unconditional dependency on that, and on top of that, refuse to publish wheels, "allowing for optimised compilation according to your machine's specific architecture and capabilities, instead of some (low performance) common denominator."
Fortunately, looks like #Gentoo can just ignore all the fancy crap and compile it with GCC.
