Today is International Beaver Day, so there is no better time to tell you about my upcoming #osdi24 paper "Beaver: Practical Partial Snapshots for Distributed Cloud Services"... using pictures of cute beavers.
This project was led by Liangcheng Yu, along with his advisor Vincent Liu and other colleagues at UPenn. (1/6)

EdgeVPN.io is an evolution of the IP-over-P2P (IPOP) project. IPOP started as an IP-based peer-to-peer overlay targeting personal devices, and over time the architecture evolved to adopt various standards, support centralized user/group management, and incorporate software-defined networking, culminating in the current architecture, tailored for research and development in nascent edge computing applications.

EdgeVPNio is a research project to build networking for the fog, spanning the network continuum from the cloud to its edge. It builds networking cyber-infrastructure which supports emerging IoT era applications.
Looks like this one might be a bit of fun for #p2p people, or i suppose #DistributedSystems people generally. No prior experience reviewing for JOSS is required, experience with Python is required, and some experience with the topic area is preferred. Don't be shy! If you've never done open review before, JOSS is a great place to start. It's a really good way to learn by teaching (or learn by reading!) in a collaborative context. You can reply here or on the pre-review issue to volunteer :)
edit: would love to have some infosec people on this one! even and especially if you are not in academia :)
A few years ago, @elb threatened to make me, and possibly @snorerot13, co-author a textbook on #DistributedSystems with him. I still want someone to write exactly the book I want, but I work seven days a week as it is...
For part 2 of the Understanding Latency Series, we are doing a bit of mixing and matching.
Perhaps you have heard of "Tail At Scale", the CACM article that periodically made the rounds in the last decade. In this post, we provided interactive charts so you can play with that kind of setup and see for yourself the profound effect of simply issuing multiple requests at once.
