In this episode Martin and Chris host Sarah Gran and Josh Aas of the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG). The ISRG is home to such little-known projects :-) such as Let's Encrypt and Prossimo, an approach to rewrite some of the most important pieces of the Internet infrastructure including the Network Time Protocol (NTP) and cURL in a memory-safe language (spoiler alert: details in the episode). So even if you're not running a website where the SSL certificates come from Let's Encrypt: You don't want to miss this episode! <p>Links</p> <ul><li>ISRG: <a href="https://www.abetterinternet.org" target=_blank>https://www.abetterinternet.org</a></li> <li>Let's Encrypt: <a href="https://letsencrypt.org" target=_blank>https://letsencrypt.org</a></li> <li>Mark Shuttleworth: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth" target=_blank>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth</a></li> <li>certbot: <a href="https://github.com/certbot/certbot" target=_blank>https://github.com/certbot/certbot</a></li> <li>ACME protocol: <a href="https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8555" target=_blank>https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc8555</a></li> <li>dehydrated: <a href="https://github.com/dehydrated-io/dehydrated" target=_blank>https://github.com/dehydrated-io/dehydrated</a></li> <li>Prossimo: <a href="https://www.memorysafety.org" target=_blank>https://www.memorysafety.org</a></li> <li>Linus and C++: <a href="https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/20/20" target=_blank>https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/20/20</a></li> <li>Linus and Rust: <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-rust-will-go-into-linux-6-1" target=_blank>https://www.zdnet.com/article/linus-torvalds-rust-will-go-into-linux-6-1</a></li> <li>Wedson Almeida Filho's LKML post: <a href="https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/8/28/1532" target=_blank>https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/8/28/1532</a></li> <li>Divvi Up: <a href="https://divviup.org" target=_blank>https://divviup.org</a></li> <li>Notion: <a href="https://www.notion.so/product/projects" target=_blank>https://www.notion.so/product/projects</a></li> <li>Google's first blog post: <a href="https://security.googleblog.com/2024/09/eliminating-memory-safety-vulnerabilities-Android.html" target=_blank>https://security.googleblog.com/2024/09/eliminating-memory-safety-vulnerabilities-Android.html</a></li> <li>Zed: <a href="https://github.com/zed-industries/zed" target=_blank>https://github.com/zed-industries/zed</a></li> <li>RocknRolla: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1032755/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_4_nm_4_in_0_q_rocknro" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1032755/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_4_nm_4_in_0_q_rocknro</a></li> <li>The Bear: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14452776/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_2_nm_5_in_0_q_the%2520bear" target=_blank>https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14452776/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_1_tt_2_nm_5_in_0_q_the%2520bear</a></li> </ul>
