What about cross datacenter replication.

Latency alone is a sufficient reason to do TLS in process.

This program is a special case because the whole state fits in registers unless the compiler detects this a human should be able to beat the compiler. Even unrolled the code would fit in the L1 instruction cache.

Especially because my old Haswell-E workstation running FreeBSD has no problem maxing out four encrypted SATA SSDs (>500MB/s each) at the same time with AES-NI. There is no excuse for slow cipher implementations and the queuing soun

The CPU data caches are low latency and high throughput if you hit them. There is nothing more to it. The interesting questions are: * What is your cache hit rate? * How much of each cache hit is used? * Are you utilizing all available re

You can as soon as you converted it to EPUB.

I hate dealing with NAT and split horizon DNS to access my NAS.

And the user has to opt-in voluntary. Checking (and hiding) all boxes by default doesn't imply consent.

It would offer good throughput but there is no way to hide the latency.

You conveniently ignored the 30k LOC crypto framework.

Do you see anything that should (or could) be done via IMAP but not via JMAP? Adding support for higher level operations to the protocol can be worth the complexity if it removes network roundtrips. Not everyone is lucky enough to have a re

Do you really want to put the power to block mails into DNSSEC the PKI operators?

Looks like a little bit of both. Linux has a lot to catch up because epoll is a mess. It is limited to file descriptors with a readiness semantic (sockets, pipes, ttys) meaning that it will never work with normal files because they are alwa

No. It just means that startx no longer requires root to start X. It removes setuid root from one more executable.

Your only options are to videos from a DRM free source or remove the DRM. The later is prohibited in most jurisdictions. Just hope your vision and hearing stay unimpaired because DRM locks out all accessibility software.

At that scale it makes sense to start thinking about alternatives to RAID e.g. an object storage with erasure coding should work well for a code base already using the S3 API. In theory even minio should be enough, but I never had enough sp

The reason to use Ed25519 over ECDSA is that ECDSA can't be used unless you have a good CPRNG. Just ask Sony what happens if you reuse a nonce with (EC-)DSA.

They do not. The difference is the same as having a BLAS implementation that uses the SIMD units to their potential and one that supports a dedicated sparse matrix multiply ASIC connected via some high bandwidth bus. In the first case the c

On FreeBSD kqueue does work for normal files if you use aio_* and SIGEV_KEVENT.

There are patches for FreeBSD and Linux sendfile respectively to perform TLS symmetric encryption inside the kernel and use out of band signaling for the key exchange.

A few more aio_* syscalls would really simplify things a lot. I suspect the most important missing aio_* syscalls are aio_open()/close() and aio_stat(). The semantics for async open/close would be tricky.

They do. Objective C is a superset of C.

You don't need pdwait(). You can watch the process descriptor with kqueue to get the process exit status look for EVFILT_PROCDESC in https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?kevent .

Is the WireGuard protocol stable? Are there any high performance implementations for platforms other than Linux?
