We're extending the deadline for the #eBPF workshop at SOSP'26 by one week, to Friday the 26th of June. That leaves two weeks to finalize your papers!

When we Were Real, a Nebula finalist, talks about Erlang (and an extension). I will be using this as a justification for the use of Elixir in my class from now on (I know Elixir is not Erlang). It also references connectomics, in case anyone needs a justification for that.

I wrote about the ICML LLM witch hunt and why it's paradigmatic of the absurd bureaucratic scaling of peer review.

Interesting (and scary) to see a blog post (thenewstack.io/research-ebpf-not-al…) about a new paper (led by @fshahinfar1.bsky.social, along with @gianniantichi.bsky.social and Sebastiano) explainging that the new shiny technology is not a panacea.

Recently, I have been busy exploring eBPF Arena — a new API that enables eBPF programs to allocate memory pages; similar functionality as mmap and munmap . I've written a blog post about it that I like to share with you: fshahinfar1.github.io/blog/04_ebpf...

I don’t often post about books I enjoy because taste is subjective, etc. But I think more people should read Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky: a lot of the book is about the decline of civilization, but the last bit is a great discussion of the pitfalls of codifying social rules and justice.

Less than a month to the HotOS 2025 deadline (January 15). Submit your “hottest” systems ideas (by which I of course mean most interesting and fun ideas), and come hangout in Banff for two days in May. More details in the CFP at sigops.org/s/conference....
