I got interesting feedback from one of my readers after publishing my REST API Is Not Transactional blog post:
One would think a transactional REST interface wouldn’t be too difficult to implement. Using HTTP1/1, it is possible to multiplex several REST calls into one connection to a specific server. The first call then is a request for start a transaction, returning a transaction ID, to be used in subsequent calls. Since we’re not primarily interested in the massive scalability of stateless REST calls, all the REST calls will be handled by the same frontend. Obviously the last call would be a commit.
I wouldn’t count on HTTP pipelining to keep all requests in one HTTP session (mixing too many layers in a stack never ends well) but we wouldn’t need it anyway the moment we’d have a transaction ID which would be identical to session ID (or session cookie) traditional web apps use.

We recognize the central role that Docker Hub plays in modern application development and are working on many enhancements around security and content. In this blog post we will share how we are implementing two-factor authentication (2FA).
Two-factor authentication increases the security of your accounts by requiring two different forms of validation. This helps ensure that you are the rightful account owner. For Docker Hub, that means providing something you know (your username and a strong password) and something you have in your possession. Since Docker Hub is used by millions of developers and organizations for storing and sharing content – sometimes company intellectual property – we chose to use one of the more secure models for 2FA: software token (TOTP) authentication.
TOTP authentication is more secure than SMS-based 2FA, which has many attack vectors and vulnerabilities. TOTP requires a little more upfront setup, but once enabled, it is just as simple (if not simpler) than text message-based verification. It requires the use of an authenticator application, of which there are many available. These can be apps downloaded to your mobile device (e.g. Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator) or it can Continue reading

On today's Network Break we examine Cumulus's move into campus networking, Thoma Bravo's multi-billion-dollar bid for Sophos, and the limited debut of 5G in the UK. We also try to parse a buzzword-laded press release announcing stealthy startup Pensando Systems, discuss the EU's interim measures against Broadcom for anti-competitive behavior, and more tech news.

Broadband battle: Missouri law prohibits cities from launching their own broadband services, but some groups are pushing again that policy, reports The Salem News Online, a newspaper in the south central area of the state. More than half of the rural residents of the state lack broadband with download speeds of 25 Mbps. Several electric cooperatives are exploring ways to provide broadband service.
Connecting Africa: In recent years, Microsoft has focused on bringing broadband to rural areas in the U.S. through its Airband initiative, and the program, focused on providing wireless broadband through unused television spectrum, could also have great benefits for Africa, according to a column at Forbes.com. The company’s international effort aims to connect 40 million people to the Internet by 2022.
Shutdown fuels fake news: An ongoing Internet shutdown in the India-controlled region of Kashmir has created a “fake news battle” with neighboring Pakistan involved, the International Business Times says. Groups from India and Pakistan are spreading disinformation, with one side distributing old photos from Gaza as supposed evidence that Kashmir has turned into a “living hell,” and the other side spreading old photos of happy children to purportedly show that everything is great Continue reading
