The release of the Rust programming language 1.89 has been announced, originally based on the Mozilla project, but now developed under the auspices of the independent non-profit organization Rust Foundation. The language focuses on safe memory management and provides means to achieve high concurrency in task execution, while avoiding the use of garbage collection and runtime (runtime is reduced to basic initialization and support of the standard library). Working methods […]
The release of Lanemu P2P VPN 0.12.3 has occurred — the implementation of a decentralized virtual private network operating on a Peer-To-Peer basis, where participants are connected to each other rather than through a central server. Network participants can find each other through BitTorrent trackers or BitTorrent DHT, or through other network participants (peer exchange).
