CompactLog: A High-Performance Certificate Transparency Log Implementation

CompactLog is a Certificate Transparency (CT) log implementation built on LSM-tree storage, addressing scalability challenges faced by traditional CT logs. Leveraging SlateDB for LSM-tree storage, it employs STH-boundary versioning and synchronous tree updates to achieve a Maximum Merge Delay (MMD) of 0 seconds. By batching submissions and incorporating certificates into the Merkle tree before issuing SCTs, it eliminates the MMD inherent in many traditional CT logs. Furthermore, CompactLog features certificate chain deduplication, significantly reducing storage costs. Its high performance and reliability make it an ideal choice for next-generation CT logs.

Open-Source Rhythm Dungeon Crawler QRawl: Clever Time Travel Mechanics

Open-Source Rhythm Dungeon Crawler QRawl: Clever Time Travel Mechanics

QRawl, a 16x9 pixel rhythm dungeon crawler, has open-sourced its code. The game cleverly blends rhythm game and dungeon crawler elements, with core mechanics focused on synchronizing player input with the game's beat. To address the challenge of late but valid player inputs clashing with monster actions, the game uses a 'time travel' mechanic: the game state is saved at the beat, and if a valid input is subsequently given, the game rewinds to this saved state and recalculates game logic. This ensures a smooth rhythm and gameplay experience. The final level reveals a giant QR code, inspiring the author's future game idea: a QR dungeon crawler that generates dungeons from any scanned QR code, transforming everyday intrusions into playful experiences.

Munal OS: An Experimental Unikernel OS in Rust

Munal OS is an experimental operating system written entirely in Rust, featuring a unikernel design, cooperative scheduling, and a security model based on WASM sandboxing. It forgoes traditional components like a bootloader, page mapping, virtual address space, and interrupts. Instead, the entire OS is compiled into a single EFI binary, embedding the kernel, WASM engine, and all applications. Communication with QEMU is handled via VirtIO drivers, enabling a graphical interface, network driver, and TCP stack. While currently limited to QEMU and lacking multi-core support and interrupts, its minimalist design and WASM-based sandboxing offer a fresh perspective on OS design.
