Today's topics:

iOS fingerprinting with public APIs - Mysk Research open-sourced Loupe, an iOS/iPadOS app that reveals fingerprinting signals exposed by public APIs, including Keychain persistence and URL-scheme probing—privacy, tracking, device ID keywords.

IPv6 crosses the 50% line - Google’s stats show 50% of connections to Google services using IPv6, while APNIC estimates lower global capability due to different sampling and weighting—IPv6 adoption, NAT, two-protocol Internet keywords.

CORS myths and localhost attacks - A security write-up revisits the Zoom localhost server incident to show how misunderstanding CORS leads to cross-site request risks—CORS, localhost REST API, Access-Control-Allow-Origin, CSP keywords.

MicroVMs inside Proxmox VE - pve-microvm adds QEMU microvm guests to Proxmox, aiming for container-like boot speed with VM isolation—KVM, QEMU microvm, fast boot, homelab infrastructure keywords.

CPU SIMD tricks meet reality - meshoptimizer experiments with AVX-512 masks and GFNI for zigzag decoding, showing how compilers and microarchitecture can erase theoretical wins—AVX-512, SIMD, Zen 4, performance tuning keywords.

Old OS paths and UI decisions - macOS still translates between slashes and colons in filenames, and a Windows UI history shows how file association prompts evolved—APFS, Finder, POSIX paths, Windows 10 UX keywords.

Finland’s libraries as democracy hubs - Finland’s libraries like Oodi are positioned as civic infrastructure with tools, spaces, and digital help—public libraries, social inclusion, digital services, democracy keywords.

Geometric Algebra debate in math - A long essay critiques the Geometric Algebra movement’s ‘one tool for everything’ pitch while acknowledging Clifford algebra’s real strengths—exterior algebra, Clifford algebra, pedagogy keywords.

A voxel game written in APL - An experimental open-source voxel game built mostly in Dyalog APL explores unusual language ergonomics for graphics—APL, voxel engine, SDL3, GPU APIs keywords.
