I don't get what you meant there.

Some rambling on vibe coding, SDLC, and software engineering in general.

So, there's still room for significant improvement.

Would SearchValues help there for a fallback to a SIMD optimized simple string literal search rather than the happy path?

You got me at TalTech. Great job and the paper is high quality. I'll have to learn F# but I believe it is worth it.

I only made two plugins. I have two half baked ones in the making. Both Shreyas and me have day jobs and this is a side quest. Overall, my contributions are about 1% of all the code, so I accept the 1% of the thanks. Kudos to Shreyas.

I am fan of Technitium, because I like to build and I built two plugins for it to fit my use case. But at work, we use Windows DNS and Bind in parallel. So, this is also a hobby of mine. The hook for me is that it is built with dotnet, and I have experience in that stack. Other features are secondary actually.

I am curious though, what would TDNS do so that you can replace BIND with TDNS in your homelab/workplace or wherever it is used? I genuinely ask for it so that I can help the original developer with some PRs.

The only problem there is for GDPR consent thingy. You can disable and proceed. I don't use any telemetry except for the consent banners.

When it comes to Technitium, well, it's written in the blog.

I agree with you there. But the term does not belong to me buy yo CISA and other organisations. But it's not as bad as Cyber Security Awareness Month acronym at least

Yes. That's why I put the footnote there.

I've played with threat intelligence to build a simple, on premises PDNS out of a privacy-focused DNS server.

Those two "PowerShell"s are not the same. For the sake of cross platform deployment, they moved away from the original a lot -though they managed to support many things in time. The old and original one was released in 2006,IIRC, so it didn't exist in 90s.

An SBOM-like approach to EOL/EOS issues is on the way.
