ICANN criticized AFRINIC for not explaining the annulment of its recent election amid allegations of voter document fraud, including fake powers of attorney. AFRINIC’s receiver has not responded to inquiries about the decision. ICANN warns it may intervene if transparency is not provided. Meanwhile, one member, Cloud Innovation, calls for AFRINIC’s dissolution, citing unresolved disputes and governance issues. The situation highlights ongoing instability within AFRINIC, which manages IP addresses for 54 African countries.

A new malaria treatment for babies under 4.5kg has been approved, addressing a treatment gap where only drugs for older children were available. Developed by Novartis and collaborators, it aims to reduce malaria deaths, especially in Africa where most fatalities occur among children under five. The drug, to be distributed on a not-for-profit basis, marks a significant breakthrough in malaria care for the most vulnerable.
Muriel Spark's memoir and work reveal her obsession with biography, emphasizing beginnings and endings. She believed her novels were shaped by her biographical approach, often blurring fact and fiction. Spark's meticulous archive and complex relationship with her biographer Martin Stannard highlight her desire for control over her story. Her fiction frequently features ghosts and themes of self-invention, reflecting her view that biographies and autobiographies are inherently crooked arts. Spark's life and writing exemplify her belief that understanding a person involves embracing inner conflict and complexity.
Malicious activity detected in the official GravityForms plugin indicates a supply chain breach. Attackers injected malware via a backdoored version, allowing remote code execution, unauthorized user creation, file uploads, and server manipulation. They used a fake domain gravityapi.org to deliver malicious PHP code embedded as wp-includes/bookmark-canonical.php. The malware affected some plugin versions, with the malicious code removed after detection. Users are advised to update to version 2.9.13 or higher, check for related IOC indicators, and monitor for suspicious activity. RocketGenius is investigating, but response is pending.
LLMs are vulnerable to grooming by bad actors who spread disinformation, causing models to produce false narratives. Even advanced reasoning models often cite unreliable sources like Pravda, failing to reason about source reliability. Real-time searches can lead models to propagate propaganda, especially on less-discussed topics. Current systems lack sufficient reasoning to identify and reject falsehoods, raising concerns over the spread of disinformation through AI. Improving cognition and source evaluation is essential to address these issues.
Incus is an open-source, next-generation container, application container, and virtual machine manager supporting Linux distributions. It offers flexible, scalable management via a simple command-line interface and REST API, with features like profiles, snapshots, backup, and remote access. Incus supports different storage and network setups, running on Linux and accessible from Windows and macOS. Maintained by the community and led by original LXD creators, it is licensed under Apache 2, with support available through Zabbly.
A simple Sonos server for a 5-year-old to control his speaker via an esp32s3 M5Stack CardPuter, using a Go executable to handle functions like playing playlists or tracks with a single button press.
Psilocybin may delay cellular aging and extend lifespan by reducing oxidative stress, preserving telomeres, and enhancing DNA repair. In studies, human cells lived 50% longer; aged mice lived 30% longer with healthier traits. These findings suggest psilocybin's potential as an anti-aging therapy, impacting systemic aging processes beyond mental health applications.
A reverse proxy manages client requests to backend servers, handling connection management, request parsing, service discovery, and observability. Scaling challenges include handling concurrency, I/O multiplexing (select, poll, epoll), event-driven architecture for large connections, multi-core processors via multi-process or multi-threaded models, socket sharding (SO_REUSEPORT), and supporting TLS. Techniques like non-blocking I/O, event loops, and thread groups improve scalability. Each proxy (e.g., Nginx, HAProxy, Envoy) employs different strategies with trade-offs, especially for complex tasks like TLS handling. Overall, connection management at scale requires specialized approaches tailored to specific use cases.
AWS is changing its Free Tier on July 15, 2025, replacing the 12-month free model with a credit-based system for new accounts, offering $100 initial credits plus up to $100 more through activities, with a 6-month max duration. Existing customers retain the current system. New users must choose between Free and Paid plans, with the Free plan limited to 6 months and certain services. Credits can be used across services, but depletion risks account closure. Always-free services remain unchanged. Recommendations include creating accounts before July 15, 2025, to lock in the current system and monitoring credit usage thereafter.

The article explains .NET's garbage collection (GC), an automatic memory management system in the CLR. GC reclaims memory from unreachable objects, dividing the managed heap into generations (0, 1, 2) for efficient collection of short- and long-lived objects. It uses phases like marking, relocating, and compacting. Memory is allocated on the managed heap, with large objects on a separate heap. GC runs based on system memory conditions or explicit calls, and static and stack roots determine object liveness. Unmanaged resources require explicit cleanup via IDisposable.
Lucas Sifoni explains using Elixir's hot code loading to modularize a monolithic app (Alzo), deploying client-specific features as dynamic, reloadable modules without microservices. Code for each client app is built, tested, then removed from the main codebase before deployment, ensuring independence and easy updates. Hot code loading enables runtime updates, avoiding complex state management. This approach maintains a cohesive codebase, simplifies testing, and allows flexible client customization, demonstrating Elixir and BEAM VM's powerful capabilities for scalable, dynamic applications.
