As one of the four key engines of compute and networking, we like to keep an eye on what is happening with field programmable gate arrays and the SoCs that incorporate them and have a mix of network and CPU and other accelerator circuits increasingly embedded on them. …

Earlier this month we posited the idea that 2021 could be the year of quantum computing-led drug discovery and predicted that partnerships like those of Google and European pharma giant Boehringer Ingelheim would be more common with more quantum hardware makers tying the knot with drug manufacturers. …

In this week's IPv6 Buzz episode Ed, Scott, and Tom talk about the likely impacts of the latest IPv6 mandate from the federal government, which directs that 80% of each fed network be IPv6-only by 2025. Our guest is Nick Buraglio. Nick is a network architect and technical analyst with the Energy Sciences Network and has decades of experience working in and on government nets.

At Docker, we are committed to making developer’s lives easier, and maintaining and extending our commitment to the Open Source community and open standards for many of our projects. We believe building new capabilities into the Docker Platform in partnership with our developer community and in full transparency leads to much better software.
Last December, we announced the release of a new experimental Docker Hub CLI tool, also known as hub-tool. This new CLI lets you explore, inspect and manage your content on Docker Hub as well as work with your teams and manage your account. We demonstrated it during the last Docker Community All Hands in December 2020.
This tool is already available with Docker Desktop, so if you are a Windows or Mac user you can try it now. For Linux users, we are pleased to announce that we open sourced the hub-tool code, and it can be found at https://github.com/docker/hub-tool. You can download the binary directly on the release page.
With the open sourcing of hub-tool we have also cut a new v0.3.0 release which includes the following new features:

Welcome to Data Privacy Day 2021! Last year at this time, I was writing about how Cloudflare builds privacy into everything we do, with little idea about how dramatically the world was going to change. The tragedy of the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped the way we go about our daily lives. Our dependence on the Internet grew exponentially in 2020 as we started working from home, attending school from home, and participating in online weddings, concerts, parties, and more. So as we begin this new year, it’s impossible to think about data privacy in 2021 without thinking about how an always-on, always secure, always private Internet is more important than ever.
The pandemic wasn’t the only thing to dramatically shape data privacy conversations last year. We saw a flurry of new activity on data protection legislation around the globe, and a trend toward data localization in a variety of jurisdictions.
I don’t think I’m taking any risks when I say that 2021 looks to be another busy year in the world of privacy and data protection. Let me tell you a bit about what that looks like for us at Cloudflare. We’ll be spending a lot of time in Continue reading
End-to-end encrypted platforms have become an important means to establish online trust for businesses and individuals globally – and law enforcement/intelligence services are struggling to keep up.
Their unfamiliarity and uncertainty is reflected in the ambiguity of political discourse on the subject. On one hand, the European Union endorses strong encryption within data protection laws such as GDPR. On the other, attempts to intercept end-to-end-encrypted communication between suspicious parties resurface over and over again.
The Council Resolution on Encryption, adopted by the Council of the European Union, is the latest example. Politicians continue to strive for both strong end-to-end encryption and getting targeted access to information when – from a security and technology standpoint – the two concepts are at odds. Symbiosis is only possible in political rhetoric.
As the co-founder of an end-to-end encrypted cloud service, I am deeply concerned at how demands for access to encrypted data will affect the security of thousands of businesses and the millions of clients who rely on them in the EU and worldwide.
The Digital Economy Is at Risk
Our digital economy depends on the widespread use of strong encryption. This includes end-to-end encryption, within organizations of all shapes and sizes.
When I blogged about release 0.2 of my lab-building tool, Kristian Larsson was quick to reply: “now do vrnetlab”. You could guess what my reply was (hint: “submit a pull request”), but I did realize I’d have to add multi-provider support before that would make sense.
Release 0.3 adds support for multiple virtualization providers. You can run six different platforms on vagrant-libvirt (assuming you build the boxes), and I added rudimentary support for Vagrant provider for VirtualBox:
