Willy Tarreau and William Lallemand have posted an extensive white paper examining the landscape of the available SSL implementations.

OpenSSL 3.0 performs significantly worse than alternative SSL libraries, forcing organizations to provision more hardware just to maintain existing throughput. This raises important questions about performance, energy efficiency, and operational costs.

Examining alternatives—BoringSSL, LibreSSL, WolfSSL, and AWS-LC—reveals a landscape of trade-offs. Each offers different approaches to API compatibility, performance optimization, and QUIC support. For developers navigating the modern SSL ecosystem, understanding these trade-offs is crucial for optimizing performance, maintaining compatibility, and future-proofing their infrastructure.

On the 50th anniversary of the USENIX organization, its flagship Annual Technical Conference (ATC) is coming to an end.

For the past two decades, as more USENIX conferences have joined the USENIX calendar by focusing on specific topics that grew out of ATC itself, attendance at ATC has steadily decreased to the point where there is no longer a critical mass of researchers and practitioners joining us. Thus, after many years of experiments to adapt this conference to the ever-changing tech landscape and community, the USENIX Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to sunset USENIX ATC.

Many important technologies first saw the light of day at this event.

Rhino Linux is an Ubuntu-based distribution which offers a rolling-release upgrade approach. The distribution uses a customised Xfce desktop environment. Rhino features a custom meta package manager which unifies Deb, Pacstall and Flatpak software management.

MocaccinoOS is an independently-developed Linux distribution that has its origins in source-based Gentoo Linux and Sabayon Linux. It uses a custom-built package manager called "Luet", which acts as a front-end for container-based software. The distribution's main features are minimalism and small footprint, ease of use, native vanilla Linux kernels, and support for most important cloud technologies. MocaccinoOS is offered in several variants, including live images with GNOME, KDE Plasma, MATE and Xfce desktops, as well as command-line-only "Minimal Desktop" edition.

Version 1.0.0 of Mission Center, a system-monitoring application, has been released. Notable changes in this release include the addition of SMART data for SATA and NVMe devices, display of per-process network usage, as well as a redesigned Apps Page that provides more information about applications and processes. Mission Center's backend application for obtaining system data has been renamed from the Gatherer to Magpie, and is now available as a standalone executable and libraries that can be used by other applications.

Linux systems can have large filesystems; trying to keep up with the stream of fanotify filesystem-monitoring notifications for them can be a struggle. Fanotify is one of a few ways to monitor accesses to filesystems provided by the kernel. Song Liu led a discussion on how to improve in-kernel filtering of fanotify events to a joint session of the filesystem and BPF tracks at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit. He wants to combine the best parts of a few different approaches to efficiently filter filesystem events.

In a combined filesystem and memory-management session at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF), Joanne Koong led a discussion on improving the writeback performance for the Filesystem in Userspace (FUSE) layer. Writeback is how data that is written to the filesystem is actually flushed to the disk; it is the process of writing dirty pages from the page cache to storage. The current FUSE implementation allocates unmovable memory, then copies the dirty data to it before initiating writeback, which is slow; Koong wanted to change that behavior. Since the session, she has posted a patch set that has been applied by FUSE maintainer Miklos Szeredi.

When you think of architecture, you might be picturing buildings and blueprints. But when it comes to website architecture, there’s no need for scaffolding, materials, or engineering. This refers to how your website is organized and how users can navigate its different pages.

But website architecture is not just about providing a seamless user experience – it’s also important for search engine optimization (SEO), which plays a vital role in how search engines like Google index and rank your relevant content.

In this blog, we’ll guide you through the basics of website architecture, why it matters, and provide six steps to help you build a better structure. Let’s get started.
