Plurrrr

In this article, I will implement the basic CIDR routing table in Rust, optimize the routing algorithm, and benchmark different solutions for comparison.

ZFS is a hybrid filesystem and volume manager system that is quite popular recently but has some important and unexpected problems.

It has many good features, which are probably why it is used: snapshots (with send/receive suppport), checksumming, RAID of some kind (with scrubbing support), deduplication, compression, and encryption.

But ZFS also has a lot of downsides. It is not the only way to achieve those features on Linux, and there are better alternatives.

I recently sped up GoAWK by switching from a tree-walking interpreter to a bytecode compiler with a virtual machine interpreter. I discuss why it’s faster and how the new interpreter works.
