DNS over QUIC sounds good:

Andor is soo good. Even if you don't like Star Wars, you have to watch it. The big question is whether to watch Rogue One before or after. I think I'd recommend before.

As an example, there's a paper out there that describes how one can reduce disk traffic over NVMe by up to 90%+ by applying a 20 line patch to the linux kernel assuming one owns their own smart SSDs, can patch that firmware, and owns the whole stack up through the hypervisor

okay, after using it today, github.com/steveyegge/b... is very cool.

it's built for AI usage but even for projects without AI stuff, I'm gonna consider using it. I love issue tracking, but doing it via a super snappy CLI is much nicer than web-based, i think.
