Why are top university websites serving p0rn? It comes down to shoddy housekeeping.

Researcher Alex Shakhov found scammers commandeering staleCNAMErecords. They hijack university subdomains (eg.berkeley.edu,columbia.edu,washu.edu) and serve p0rn and scam pages. Shakhov found hundreds of abused subdomains across at least34universities. He counted thousands of hijacked pages indexed .. read more

PostgreSQL MVCC, Byte by Byte

PostgreSQL's MVCC stores two 32-bit XIDs per tuple -xminandxmax. The transaction snapshot decides visibility per tuple. Updates append new tuples and mark the old withxmax.VACUUMreclaims versions only when no active snapshot can see them. Long-runningREPEATABLE READsnapshots pin versions and cause b.. read more

How The Heck Does Shazam Work? (An Interactive Exploration)

A phone captures audio and runs aFast Fourier Transform (FFT)on short windows. It builds aspectrogramand extractspeaks. Nearby peak pairs form compacthashes(two frequencies + time delta). Aninverted indexmaps those hashes to songs, and timing validates matches. Most services run lookups onserversaga.. read more

Arti is an official Tor Project initiative to rewrite the Tor client stack in Rust. Its primary goal is to address long-standing safety, reliability, and maintainability challenges inherent in the legacy C-based Tor implementation. By leveraging Rust’s strong compile-time guarantees for memory safety and concurrency, Arti eliminates entire classes of bugs that have historically affected Tor, including many security vulnerabilities.

Arti is architected as a modular, embeddable library rather than a monolithic application. This makes it easier for developers to integrate Tor networking capabilities directly into other applications, services, and platforms. From its earliest versions, Arti has supported multi-core cryptography, cleaner APIs, and a more maintainable internal design.

While early releases focused on client functionality such as bootstrapping, running as a SOCKS proxy, and routing traffic over the Tor network, the long-term roadmap includes full feature parity with the existing Tor client, support for onion services, anti-censorship mechanisms, and eventually Tor relay functionality. Arti represents the future foundation of the Tor ecosystem, prioritizing long-term security, developer velocity, and adaptability.
