Preliminary ideas for the design of a secure, decentralized (peer-to-peer) replacement for email (possibly based on Apache Wave).

Preliminary Ideas for a Secure p2p Email Replacement

Summary: Brainstorm for the design of a secure, decentralized (peer-to-peer) replacement for email.

Goals

  • Secure p2p messaging; Decentralized messaging platform (no centralized server).
  • Do not rely on central Certificates of Authority (CA).
  • Leverage modern environment where users have multiple, always-on devices.

This is the first program I ever wrote... It was on the Commodore 64, and it displays a hot air balloon bouncing around the screen in 16 colors. I was probably 7 or 8. This program is the first example in the "C64 Programmers Reference Guide - Chapter 3: Programming Graphics on the Commodore 64" -- http://www.commodore.ca/manuals/c64_programmers…

Log4j 2 Notes

Log4j 2 Notes

Asynchronous Loggers for Low-Latency Logging

Log4j 2 contains next-generation Asynchronous Loggers based on the LMAX Disruptor library. In multi-threaded scenarios Asynchronous Loggers have 10 times higher throughput and orders of magnitude lower latency than Log4j 1.x and Logback. See Asynchronous Logging Performance for details. Otherwise, Log4j 2 performs faster than Log4j 1.x in critical areas and similarly to Logback under most circumstances. See Performance for more information. http://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/
