Rust-Written Zlib-rs Is Not Only Safer But Now Outperforming Zlib C Implementations
/* The funny "do {}" generates better code on most compilers */

Pillow 11.1.0 is out!
One of the cool updates is we're using zlib-ng 2.2.2 instead of zlib 1.2.8/1.3.1, which is more than twice as fast at saving PNGs at higher compression levels.

In more detail, zlib-ng has the same file sizes for compression level 0 and bigger files for level 1, but if you care about size, any higher level gives more or less the same file size, and zlib-ng is much faster.
Je me suis même fait gronder et moquée en mode "mais t'as fait comment toi ? Laisse les se démerder !" quand j'ai parlé de scanner certains de mes livres qui sont plus édités et le seront plus, sont en vente d'occasion pour genre 100 ou 200e partout sans pdf ni rien pour les mettre sur #zlib ou #theinternetarchive #theinternetlibrary ou de trouver un moyen de répertorier des articles de recherche dispo gratos parce que je suis pour la gratuité ou l'accès libre au savoir...
just to make it super clear, the real z-library put out a statement a month or so ago about z-lib, saying that they (the real z-library) are NOT behind z-lib (the z-library copycats who got their shit breached). z-library also posted links to their official internet places as well as donation links. for obvious reasons, i won't link to that stuff here.
mainly because i happen to like this account, but also piracy is considered a major crime here in australia. :))))))
Today I had a quick look at compression speed of the various compression algorithms in #UnrealEngine.
In my use case, speed is more important than compression ratio, so I had COMPRESS_BiasSpeed set.
To little surprise, #gzip and #zlib took about the same time, and #lz4 was a lot slower.
The big surprise was #Oodle, which was faster than all others. By a lot.
So, if you are compressing data in your Unreal game at runtime, you might want to check if Oodle is an option for you.

Het internet wordt weer een stuk minder vrij:

Stichting Brein krijgt hierbij zelfs de mogelijkheid om zomaar vermeende proxies toe te voegen aan de blokkeerlijst, zonder dat er ook maar een rechter aan te pas komt.
Dat terwijl legale e-book vaak zo gemankeerd zijn door DRM dat het echt jou boek niet is en je het niet kunt lezen op het apparaat van jou keuze.
Meeste mensen willen best betalen voor boeken, maar dan moet je wel gemak bieden!

All Unix & Linux packagers of @DOSBox_Staging 0.81 do pay attention that zlib-ng is configured properly at build time so that the binary package only requires SSSE3 feature level on the CPU:
@kirbylife sí pues hasta ahí me quedé, pero pensé que después de eso había regresado en forma de tazos, o en algún dominio o método alterno como con #ZLib
Fedora 40 may be switching from Zlib to Zlib-Ng. I like this.
Caveat: I know some programs, like Nginx, need Zlib-Ng specific code to work with it. I wonder how many more applications will need to be patched. #zlib #fedora
zlib、gzip 與 zip 的關係 (Mark Adler 的回覆)
Hacker News 上看到「How are zlib, gzip and zip related? (stackoverflow.com)」這個討論,原文是 StackOverflow 上 2013 年時的問題與回答:「How are zlib, gzip and zip related? What do they have in common and how are they different?」。
