The Web Has Margins Again: W3C Annotations for the Developer Community Graph

How devreal.ai links Functional TV metadata and external videos through portable W3C Web Annotations.

DNSSEC in the spirit of tinydns

August 2026 — rgbdns 0.6.3 DNSSEC can look like an invitation to build a control plane: a key database, a signing service, an RPC protocol, a stateful rollover controller, and an online authority that knows too much. That would be one way to add cryptographic signatures to DNS. It

All 12 Rust AI Begins recordings are live

The shortest, deepest technical conference about Rust in AI: ten systems talks compressed into one three-and-a-half-hour San Francisco meetup. Rust AI Begins was built as a technical sprint. On July 27, 2026, builders gathered at AWS Builder Loft in San Francisco to show where Rust is

DevReal is live: the graph behind developer culture

x 7,233 people, events, talks, recordings, organizations, projects, topics, and photo albums—connected by 14,246 relationships. A conference page tells you what happened once. A community graph can tell you who was there, what they built, where the recording lives, which company they represented at the time, who

The Adversarial Cognition Trilogy: one boundary, attacked at three layers

What began as a single benchmark for an AI's memory is now three, and the reason is worth stating plainly, because we did not set out to build a suite. We set out to attack one boundary — the governed boundary that decides who may reveal or change this,

MARCIANA-ADVERSARIAL-v1: benchmarking cognition under attack

MARCIANA-ADVERSARIAL-v1 is now a standalone benchmark with a site at adversari.al, a FirstPair book, six systems compared, and an open call for contributions — plus why the boundary is unforgeable, not just careful.

Marciana 2: cognition is a governed semantic layer

Marciana 2 turns ubiquitous AI memory into an auditable semantic layer with TypeDID, TypeSec, Grust, Sail, LakeCat, Apache Ossie, benchmarks, and a Honduras coffee-market proof.

Rosetta: from comparative reader to editorial instrument

Rosetta now joins aligned editions to source-bound chunk, sentence, word, phrase, heading, variant, and Review workflows for editorial revision.

rgbdns is operational: Debian, openSUSE, and ANAME across AXFR

July 2026 — rgbdns 0.3.3 The first rgbdns release established the larger idea: rebuild the djbdns program family in memory-safe Rust without losing the small-program design, the tinydns data format, or the ability to understand the entire authoritative serving path. The newest release turns that implementation into

Announcing rgbdns: DNS from first principles, rebuilt in Rust

A memory-safe Rust reimplementation of djbdns, a first-principles DNS book, and the conformance and performance evidence behind both.

Sail OSS and the LakeSail Platform

LakeSail is building around a direct premise: keep the Spark developer interface, but replace the runtime beneath it. The open-source core is Sail, a Rust-native compute engine designed to run Spark-compatible workloads without the operational and performance costs that often come with JVM-based Spark clusters. That
