Protect Your Content Anywhere on the Web: Privly by Sean McGregor — Kickstarter
We are Computer Science PhD candidates with an idea we are calling Privly-- a general solution to privacy across the web. In short, Privly allows you to seamlessly view and post encrypted content on any website. Read our story in The Atlantic.

How does this work

Privly extends your browser to look for specially formatted links that point to your private data. When Privly finds the special links, it places the linked content onto the page you are viewing. No one between you and the person posting the content can read the content.

Fastly
Slow is bad. It's bad for your customers, it's bad for your developers and it's bad for your reputation. Slow annoys users, limits page views, kills sales and inflates bounce rates. Slow is your enemy.

Fastly fixes that. Fastly is a strategically distributed, global network of servers that allows you to speed up your site for users everywhere whilst retaining tight control over your content.

Traditional content delivery networks only serve static content such as images or css. Our technology also allows you to cache dynamic content with all the control needed to handle even highly specific and time dependent data like content feeds and APIs.

OpenStack - Open Source Cloud Computing Software
OpenStack is a collection of open source technologies delivering a massively scalable cloud operating system. OpenStack is currently developing two interrelated projects: OpenStack Compute and OpenStack Object Storage. OpenStack Compute is software to provision and manage large groups of virtual private servers, and OpenStack Object Storage is software for creating redundant, scalable object storage using clusters of commodity servers to store terabytes or even petabytes of data.

On reddit's outage : announcements
As you probably know, reddit was down or degraded for the last 36 hours. Right now we are still a bit degraded, but we have enough servers to handle the weekend traffic (we think). We hope to be at full capacity by Monday.

We want to tell you why reddit was down.

In short, Amazon had a failure of their EBS system, which is a data storage product they offer, at around 1:15am PDT. This may sound familiar, because it was the same type of failure that took us down a month ago. This time however the failure was more widespread and affected a much larger portion of our servers (and not just ours, many other companies were affected as well). Namely, most of our database slaves were disabled from this outage. Even though we are spread across multiple availability zones (data centers), it did us no good in this case, since the outage was so widespread and hit multiple availability zones.

Many mice surf the web under the illusion that their actions are private and anonymous.
Unfortunately, this is not the way it is. Every time you visit a site for a piece of cheese, you
leave a calling card that reveals where you are coming from, what kind of computer you use,
and other details. And many cats keep logs of all your visits, so that they can catch you!

rstat.us
There are two things that make rstat.us special: simplicity and openness.

Simplicity is a core 'feature' of rstat.us. We pride ourselves on saying 'no' to lots of features. Our interface is clean, and easy to understand. We give you just enough features to be interesting, but not enough to be complicated and confusing.

If you're a software developer, you'll probably want to check out our Open Source page. If that's greek to you, here's the deal on Openness: the programming code that makes up rstat.us is available for anyone to download, free of charge. Programmers can use that code to run their own websites just like rstat.us, and you can subscribe to your friends on any site that supports the OStatus protocol, like identi.ca. This also means that you can own your data, we'll never stop you from having full access to everything you've put into rstat.us.

Add (we call it "historify") a site using our bookmarklet (it works with all browsers, even your phone's!), our browser extensions or manually, then come back to the site and search your historified sites just by entering some keywords!

XAuth
XAuth is an open platform for extending authenticated user services across the web.

Participating services generate a browser token for each of their users. Publishers can then recognize when site visitors are logged in to those online services and present them with meaningful, relevant options.

Users can choose to authenticate directly from the publisher site and use the service to share, interact with friends, or participate in the site's community. The XAuth Token can be anything, so services have the flexibility to define whatever level of access they choose.

Who Moved My Buy Button?
Who Moved My Buy Button? is a project of the Authors Guild.

Our goal is to allow authors to become immediately aware of when their buy buttons are removed. Publishers are often too fearful of antagonizing Amazon to say anything publicly about such incidents. Authors needn't have that fear (we can keep your identity anonymous), however, and publicity is probably our best collective defense.

So please keep track of a few of your books. Sound the alarm if you find Amazon's removed your buy buttons (but make sure your book isn't just out of stock: review Buy-Buttonology: A Field Guide to Amazon's Book Pages). We'll do our part -- we'll monitor thousands of titles from many publishers.
