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

For almost a decade, I've used the chief.sc domain in bit,ly, as a custom domain for my short URLs, typically Medium posts on my own publication chiefscientist.org. At some point bit.ly caught up to my free account with a custom domain, and I could
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

A community graph can tell you who was there, what they built, where the recording lives, which company they represented at the time, who
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,
