- We created a safer AV1 decoder, rav1d, by forking the dav1d decoder and rewriting the C code in Rust. It works great except our Rust is 5% slower than the C. We're not sure why so we're offering a $20k bounty to figure it out and make the Rust code faster. www.memorysafety.org/blog/rav1d-p...
- Such great work from the Rustls devs.
- I wrote a blog post about rustls performance on the server for the Prossimo blog; rustls comes out comparing well to the alternatives, and we’re still improving it! www.memorysafety.org/blog/rustls-...
- Reposted by Josh AasYesterday Chromium deleted our copy of `libavif` -- the last step of a year-long project replacing it with a new Rust library! :) chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/s...
- Just announced the timeline for Let's Encrypt ending support for OCSP: letsencrypt.org/2024/12/05/e...
- Rustls multithreaded performance is fantastic. This is on an 80 core ARM machine.
- More details here: rustls.dev/perf/2024-11...
- A reminder that Rustls can be used from C programs - it has a C API.
- Ivan Ristić's TLS certificate monitoring service Hardenize is now Red Sift Certificates. Today they announced a free offering for monitoring up to 250 certificates, looks nice. blog.redsift.com/certificates...
- Reposted by Josh Aashyper in curl needs a champion. A backing vendor or distro that wants it.❤️ Why? Report after report: Memory un-safety. Is. BAD. A #rustlang HTTP backend in #curl has potential to make the internet safer. 🦀 But it needs a champion to back it, or it will go away. 🚀 seanmonstar.com/blog/hyper-i...
