mintflow··on BGP handling bug causes widespread internet routing instability
I was developping BGP feature in a telco vendor though it's decades ago.

Still think BGP is too complex and people keeping add new features and vendors keeping implement it based on RFC standard or draft.

And it seems BGP will never be deprecated so this sort of bugs will continue be found again and again...

mintflow··on Reworking 30 lines of Linux code could cut power use by up to 30 percent
Oh, as a guy which was using DPDK like technology that do busy-poll and bypass kernel to process network packets, I must say may be much power have be wasted...
mintflow··on Is it possible to write plain C iOS app in 2025?
Recently I have built a iOS network extension by porting fd.io vpp to Darwin platform, though the UI part is written by SwiftUI. But the core is written using good old C and dns component is written using rust with hickory library, I was considering using c-ares but wanna get a try with rust.

So I think if UI stuffs can be written using C it then can build app using pure C.

mintflow··on HTTP/3 is everywhere but nowhere
it's quite shocking to know that http/3 is still not gain enough opensource libraries support.

Maybe really some users does not care more about it,as a developper I'd rather not taking much overhead to maintain a server that support http/3.
