There are only 8 days to October, and the NINeS deadline! Submit your finest ideas.

We are getting close to the NINeS deadline. October 1 is only two-weeks away, and we are very excited to read your submissions. See our website (https://nines-conference.org) to learn more about the conference's philosophy.

Last week to apply for the first eBPF Foundation Community & Advocacy Fellowship program! If the last decade was about building the technology, this is about building the community that will take eBPF forward. Open until Friday!

Last Thursday I had an awesome opportunity to share my work about eBPF CPU cache efficiency on the ACM student competition stage along six other awesome presentations. I would like to thank the organizers and people who attended session and listened to the talks. youtu.be/HltirZfpfy8?...

NINeS @nines-conference.org is the first conference specifically formulated to combat stale ideas, reviewer fatigue, and shallow program committees. By stimulating the community's collective creative pathways, NINeS will help restore energy, imagination, and genuine dialogue in networking research.

We are getting closer to the NINeS deadline (October 1). Watch Scott talk about why you should submit your work to NINeS!

Randomly saw this video from @lichess.org on their open source contribution workflow and tooling. It's next level of awesomeness :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=imuo...

The list of papers accepted at the 3rd #eBPF workshop has been published! conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2025...

Next up @apanda talks about Why Nines? No cats this time because they were all busy working on their NINeS papers.

With advancements in NLP maybe software eng. can finally write test cases for their documentations so that poorly documented part of the code does not pass the test. [thought crosses his mind while suffers to understand what's going on]

Cloudlab has been an enabler for me. Eternally grateful for its existence

:/ ... there are still lots to do

📢 The Journal of Systems Research (JSys) is looking for senior graduate students, postdocs, and early-career researchers to serve on its Artifact Evaluation Board (AEB). #OpenScience 🧑‍🔬 To learn more/nominate yourself for the AEB, visit forms.gle/PJzS81AhN2TA...

OSDI'26 is adding a new Operational Systems track and aiming for a higher acceptance rate: usenix.org/conference/o... I hope this will help expand the conference's scope and include more papers.

Petition to keep ATC at SIGOPS! tinyurl.com/atc-petition

Here is a good reason to submit your paper to CoNEXT 2026: I will be the PC chair :)

who should you talk to if you want a new eBPF hook in the kernel? Is there a documention for adding one? The macro magic and random verifier details poping out of no where is disheartening

📢 We are excited to announce NINeS, a new online conference dedicated to bold, foundational ideas in networked systems! Submissions due Oct 1; event on Feb 10. Join us! nines-conference.org #NINeS

Why NINeS? Because Ludovica supports it :D

behaviour undefined, or is it right? if I read the spec tonight, chances are that we'll fight ISA manuals out of sight and I'm contemplating learning rust

piggybacking congrol data seems to be super useful even for flows with large message sizes because it avoids extra work and frees the CPU

🐝🚀 Deadline Extended 🚀🐝 The submission deadline for the 2025 eBPF workshop at SIGCOMM has been extended! New deadline: May 23rd. Don't miss out! Submission link: ebpf25.hotcrp.com

I can not believe more than a third of the year is already passed :sigh

It isn't limited to French. If people are wondering :))

I recently learned about KDEConnect and it has made life few steps easier (when it involves phone-laptop communication :) )

Recently, I have been busy exploring eBPF Arena — a new API that enables eBPF programs to allocate memory pages; similar functionality as mmap and munmap . I've written a blog post about it that I like to share with you: fshahinfar1.github.io/blog/04_ebpf...

Interesting discussions between John Ousterhout and "Uncle Bob" on software design: method length, comments, and test-driven development. It's a great example of "agree to disagree". There is no silver bullet in software design. Let's focus on writing easy-to-parse code 👀 github.com/johnousterho...

A printer failing to print is kind of interesting... It's my first time seeing a printer crash (soft failure), and I have no idea what went wrong :)

The report from this summer's Dagstuhl seminar on Programmable Host Networking has been published: doi.org/10.4230/DagR...! #ebpf #DPDK #DPU

Uhm, mine has been very stable - ssh - tmux - git - vim - build-essential

I achieved to lock myself out of my laptop in an interestingly stupid way while playing with keyboard config last night. Now, upon boot I am presented with the Farsi keyboard layout and no way of changing it. Impossible to type the password, and seems there is no easy way out 😁 😮‍💨

Merry Christmas to everyone
