Arch Linux mailing list changes

↺ Arch Linux mailing list changes

> As part of dropping Python 2 which is EOL, we have migrated our mailing lists from mailman2 to mailman3. Rewriting of the "From" header and subject (to prepend the list name) have been disabled to keep the DKIM signature intact. This means "reply to mailing list" must be used when replying to the list and you may need to update your filters and rules matching the "From" header. All existing subscriptions are migrated and you do not need to re-subscribe.

GUADEC and App Organization BoF - Sophie’s Blog

↺ GUADEC and App Organization BoF - Sophie’s Blog

> Before GUADEC there was an astonishing Covid wave in Germany, so I finally somehow caught it despite not even really leaving my flat around this time. I was still feeling quite weak around GUADEC and also had to catch up with my preparation for the BoF I was hosting. More about the BoF below. I still managed to drop by for one evening, seeing some new faces and attending Tobias’ talk in person.

> Despite still being pretty much a greenhorn within the GNOME community I was awarded this year’s Community Appreciation Award (aka “Pants of Thanks”.) I was very thankful that this year’s general assembly included a huge block of attributions to a lot of initiatives and contributions within the GNOME project. We have so many wonderful projects and contributors within the project that a single award is not nearly enough to cover everything that’s going on. I can’t deny that though felt flattered to receive an award for my work😊 I also had a pretty huge smile on my face when reading the hints as to who will be getting this year’s award.

Cloudflare's New Proxy Server, Pingora, Has the Potential to Dethrone Nginx

↺ Cloudflare's New Proxy Server, Pingora, Has the Potential to Dethrone Nginx

> Pingora is a new HTTP proxy server built in-house by Cloudflare with plans to make it open-source in the future.

> Few companies can compete with Cloudflare’s experience in serving massive web traffic.

> To make things more precise, we’ll say this: Cloudflare handles more than 10% of all HTTP/HTTPS world Internet traffic. Moreover, globally, the Cloudflare network serves over 25 million HTTP requests each second and is used by almost 80% of all the websites that use reverse proxy services.
