The Anywhere-on-earth (AOE) timezone is confusing. I'm pretty sure the 11:59 pm has passed some where on earth, does it imply that "11:59 pm has been passed AOE"? Or will it pass when 11:59 is passed all over the earth? My intuition is that it should be modeled as a fuzzy number but just a hunch

I had forgotten how consuming it is to learn a new software framework/library. I don't know if it worth anything in the era of AI agents, but I can say, it never was just about the end product anyway :-)

Good news everyone… NINeS will return in 2027. We will announce more details shortly, but papers will be due on August 6, 2026 (AoE). Please send us papers describing your exciting new ideas in networking and systems!

The call for papers for the eBPF'26 workshop is open: ebpf.github.io/2026/cfp.html. This year, the workshop will be hosted by the SOSP conference, the top academic conference in OS research! The deadline for submissions is June 19th, in just over 4 months.

SOSP'26 published the list of accepted workshops for this year: sigops.org/s/conference...! Looks like the #eBPF workshop is in good company, in between HotStorage and PLOS 😄

I had a great time watching @nines-conference.org presentations and talks with colleagues at Polimi and had a great and insight full discussion. I'm thankful both to great friends and NINeS organizing committee

NINeS 2026 is tomorrow! We have just posted (at nines-conference.org/attend) details on how to join the livestream, which starts at 1am UTC, and will let you experience what is going on at several pods and also hear our keynotes. We hope you join us. 1/2

February 10th, and thus the inaugural edition of NINeS is just around the corner. You can participate from anywhere in the world, at times that are convenient to you. See https://nines-conference.org/attend for information on how you can participate. We hope to see you on Feb 10th!

NINeS is in a few weeks (February 10). If you are at (or near) Hong Kong, London, New York or Boston, consider going to a pod. See https://nines-conference.org/pods for details!

You can now read the papers that were accepted at NINeS. Find them at https://nines-conference.org/accepted.

As of 18:45 UTC (10:15 PM local), traffic to Iran has stopped as the country has completely severed itself from the global internet.

Contribute a recorded talk to NINeS! We are soliciting per-recorded videos that are up to 15-minutes long. Find details about topics at nines-conference.org/cft. We are excited to see what you come up with!

Happy new year everyone 🎉

Will it get stuck at 99%? (I think not 😁)

This was a very nice guide on what should happen during an artifact evaluation. I see conferences linking to different pages in their guide; maybe also add a link to this page. I Thank the author/s sysartifacts.github.io/sosp2023/guide

Looking forward to find a time to follow this. But there is a question that jumps to my mind occasionally. Can we not have provided an interface for kernel extensibility that ran in userspace with good performance?

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.

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
