        <DT><A HREF="https://pond.imperialviolet.org" description="For secure, synchronous communication we have OTR and, when run over Tor, this is pretty good. But while we have secure asynchronous messaging in the form of PGP email, it's not forward secure and it gratuitously leaks traffic information. While a desire for forward secure PGP is hardly new, it still hasn't materialised in a widely usable manner.

Additionally, email is used predominately for insecure communications (mailing lists, etc) and is useful because it allows previously unconnected people to communicate as long as a (public) email address is known to one party. But the flip side to this is that volume and spam are driving people to use centralised email services. These provide such huge benefits to the majority of email communication, so it's unlikely that this trend is going to reverse. But, even with PGP, these services are trusted with hugely valuable traffic information if any party uses them.

So Pond is not email. Pond is forward secure, asynchronous messaging for the discerning. Pond messages are asynchronous, but are not a record; they expire automatically a week after they are received. Pond seeks to prevent leaking traffic information against everyone except a global passive attacker."  hash="192dd9819b1e763872f6cf6a9ac1be26" tags="software,security,social_networking,todo" ADD_DATE="1396253182" >Pond - Pond</a>
        <DT><A HREF="http://pwhois.org" description="The Prefix WhoIs Project provides a whois-compatible client and server framework for disclosing various up-to-date routing information. Instead of using registrar-originated network information (which is often unspecific or inaccurate), Prefix WhoIs uses the Internet's global routing table as gleaned from a number of routing peers around the world. Other sources of information, such as imported data from ARIN are also supported (a separate agreement with ARIN is required)."  hash="fb39f20d553833b964b32ea3e3a8e8c9" tags="software,network,sysadmin,todo" ADD_DATE="1396253158" >The Prefix WhoIs Project - Greetings</a>
        <DT><A HREF="http://www.michaelfogleman.com/craft" description="Craft is a Minecraft clone for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. It is written in just a few thousand lines of C and uses modern OpenGL (shaders). Online multiplayer support is included using a Python-based server."  hash="a381c37c8b9361a134fb8b1a62f5cae2" tags="software,games" ADD_DATE="1396253087" >Michael Fogleman Craft</a>
        <DT><A HREF="http://git.sesse.net/?p=cubemap;a=blob_plain;f=README;hb=HEAD" description="A short list of features:

 - High-performance, through a design with multiple worker threads,
   epoll and sendfile (yes, sendfile); a 2GHz quadcore can saturate
   10 gigabit Ethernet, given a modern kernel, a modern NIC
   and the right kernel tuning.
 - High-availability. You can change any part of the configuration
   (and even upgrade to a newer version of Cubemap) by changing cubemap.config
   and sending a SIGHUP; all clients will continue as if nothing had happened
   (unless you delete the stream they are watching, of course).
   Cubemap also survives the encoder dying and reconnecting.
 - Per-stream fwmark support, for TCP pacing through tc (separate config needed).
 - Support for setting max pacing rate through the fq packet scheduler
   (obsoletes the previous point, but depends on Linux 3.13 or newer).
 - Reflects anything VLC can reflect over HTTP, even the muxes VLC
   has problems reflecting itself (in particular, FLV).
 - IPv4 support. Yes, Cubemap even supports (some) legacy protocols."  hash="abf6e8071a35a90d817985175d38bf08" tags="video,streaming,software,network" ADD_DATE="1396253049" >Cubemap is a high-performance, high-availability video reflector, specifically made for use with VLC.</a>
