iceoryx2 v0.6.0 is out: high-performance, cross-language inter-process communication that just works (C, C++, Rust - and soon Python)
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1kp0i2g/iceoryx2_v060_is_out_highperformance/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Hey everyone, We just released iceoryx2 v0.6.0 (https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2/releases/tag/v0.6.0), and it’s by far the most feature-packed update we’ve released so far. If you're new to it: iceoryx2 is an IPC library for ultra-fast, zero-copy communication between processes — think of it like a faster, more structured alternative to domain sockets or queues. It's designed for performance-critical systems and supports Rust, C++, and C (with Python coming soon). 🔍 Some highlights: Request-Response Streams: Not just a response — get a stream of updates until completion. Zero-copy IPC across languages: Share data between Rust ↔ C++ without serialization. Just match the memory layout and go. New CLI tool: Debug and inspect running services easily with iox2. First built-in microservice: A discovery service to support more dynamic architectures. ZeroCopySend derive macro: Makes Rust IPC safer and easier. This wouldn’t be possible without the feedback, bug reports, questions, and ideas from all of you. We’re a small team, and your input honestly shapes this project in meaningful ways. Even just a thoughtful comment or example can turn into a feature or fix. We’re especially grateful to those who’ve trusted iceoryx2 in real systems, to those who patiently shared frustrations, and to the folks pushing us to support more languages and platforms. GitHub project (https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2) Benchmarks (https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2/tree/main/benchmarks) Cross-language example (https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2/tree/main/examples/rust/publish_subscribe_cross_language) If you’ve got ideas or feedback — we’re listening. And if you’re using it somewhere cool, let us know. That really motivates us. Thanks again to everyone who's helped us get to this point!

How I Beat the Midnight Rush: CDN + AES for Puzzle Delivery
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1kpfsky/how_i_beat_the_midnight_rush_cdn_aes_for_puzzle/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Hey, my name is Emil, and I am the creator of Everybody Codes, an online platform with programming puzzles similar to Advent of Code. I wanted to share with you a solution that might be useful for your projects. It's about blocking certain content on a page and unlocking it only under specific conditions. The problem seems trivial, but imagine the following scenario: The programming puzzle's content becomes available, for instance, at midnight. Until that moment, the content should be unavailable. Users wanting to compete globally want to load the riddle content as quickly as possible, right after it is made available. What's the problem? If you are a small service and do not deliver content through the cloud, your server has to send a large amount of data to many users simultaneously. As the length of the puzzle description or input increases, the problem worsens, leading to a situation where, in the best-case scenario, the puzzle will not start evenly for all users. And in the worst case, the server will start rejecting some requests. I don't know if my solution is standard, but it works well.
It goes like this: I encode the content using AES with a strong 32-character (256-bit) key. This data goes to a regular CDN (I use Bunny CDN) and is then downloaded by users, even before the quest is globally released. When the specified time comes, I provide users only with the AES key, which is 32 characters, and the decoding process is handled by JavaScript on the client side. Thanks to this, I can describe the quest as precisely as I need, add SVGs, and scale the input size as desired because serving content via CDN is very cheap. I can also better test performance in practice because I know exactly how much data I will be sending to users, regardless of the quest content. The trick is also useful when we want to offload data transfer to the CDN but need to control who has access to the content and under what conditions. That's it!

How to make your MCP clients (Cursor, Windsurf...) share context with each other
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1kq8pro/how_to_make_your_mcp_clients_cursor_windsurf/
<!-- SC_OFF -->With all this recent hype around MCP, I still feel like missing out when working with different MCP clients (especially in terms of context). I was looking for a personal, portable LLM “memory layer” that lives locally on my system, with complete control over the data. That’s when I found OpenMemory MCP (open source) by Mem0, which plugs into any MCP client (like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Cline) over SSE and adds a private, vector-backed memory layer. Under the hood: - stores and recalls arbitrary chunks of text (memories) across sessions
- uses a vector store (Qdrant) to perform relevance-based retrieval
- runs fully on your infrastructure (Docker + Postgres + Qdrant) with no data sent outside
- includes a next.js dashboard to show who’s reading/writing memories and a history of state changes
- Provides four standard memory operations (add_memories, search_memory, list_memories, delete_all_memories) So I analyzed the complete codebase (https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/tree/main/openmemory) and created a free guide (https://medium.com/gitconnected/how-to-make-your-clients-more-context-aware-with-openmemory-mcp-60057bcc24a3) to explain all the stuff in a simple way. Covered the following topics in detail. What OpenMemory MCP Server is and why does it matter? How it works (the basic flow). Step-by-step guide to set up and run OpenMemory.

<!-- SC_OFF -->With all this recent hype around MCP, I still feel like missing out when working with different MCP clients (especially in terms of context). I was looking for a personal, portable LLM “memory layer” that lives locally on my system, with complete control over the data. That’s when I found OpenMemory MCP (open source) by Mem0, which plugs into any MCP client (like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Cline) over SSE and adds a private, vector-backed memory layer. Under the hood: - stores and recalls arbitrary chunks of text (memories) across sessions
- uses a vector store (Qdrant) to perform relevance-based retrieval
- runs fully on your infrastructure (Docker + Postgres + Qdrant) with no data sent outside
- includes a next.js dashboard to show who’s reading/writing memories and a history of state changes
