New research paper out: **Contiguous Zero-Copy for Encrypted Transport Protocols**. This paper explains we may have got the integration of symmetric cryptography into networking protocols wrong for efficiency.

But we can fix it simply by ... reversing everything. A thread

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Rubyfmt 0.12 is out! This release is a big deal. We entirely removed ripper and replaced it with Prism. This means Rubyfmt no longer needs to compile against Ruby at all. This work wouldn't have been possible without the hard work of Reese, and as a bonus treat we now have: rubyfmt.run
