Feels good to have my Encrypted DNS Server back online. https://github.com/DNSCrypt/encrypted-dns-server Plus the dnscrypt-proxy 2.1.10 release is excellent. https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy

The Go cryptography security audit went very well. Only one low severity item that has already been fixed. Kudos to the crypto package team. https://go.dev/blog/tob-crypto-audit

Needing some beta testers and reviewers for my new game Perfect Shot! Been working on this for months now, and it is finally ready for release. Just want to get one last round of testers before I launch it for the entire Warpcast community! If you are interested, please reach out! https://perfectshot.io/

We need more work like this. Optimization is becoming a lost art. We need to make our systems more efficient. Reducing the power consumption of the Linux network stack by up to 30% is a huge improvement. https://spectrum.ieee.org/data-center-energy-consumption

A huge win for the Python ecosystem. 2.5 years of work to provide verified cryptographic code in Python. Best part, users do nothing, they just benefit from the changes. No changes to apps required! https://jonathan.protzenko.fr/2025/04/18/python.html
