In the Apache web server, mod_ssl is used to support the encryption operations required to establish an HTTPS connection. It is developed in C language, and the new module mod_tls will be developed in Rust language. Leading the development of this project is Stefan Eissing, the founder of software consulting company Greenbytes and Apache HTTP Server developer.

The legendary version of "Mass Effect" to be released in May contains more than 40 DLCs of three "Mass Effect", but one DLC is not included: the DLC "Pinnacle Station" of "Mass Effect 1". Pinnacle Station was developed by Demiurge Studios and released in 2009. It added a secret military training base to the game, where Commander Shepard can lead his team to perform special training. The legendary project director Mac Walters revealed that although the developers did their best, the source code of this DLC was damaged beyond repair.

The Demiurge studio reported that the source code in its hands was also damaged. Walters said that the only way for Pinnacle Station to join the legendary version is to rewrite it. This is too much for the loss, and the development team will waste 6 months on this. (Solidot)

GitHub address: https://github.com/rails/kredis

Kredis (Redis with Key) encapsulates higher-level types and data structures around a single key, so you can interact with them as consistent objects instead of isolated process commands. These higher-level structures can be configured as attributes in the activity model and activity record using a declarative DSL.

Kredis Rails.application.config_for is configured using the YAML file (used) that supports the environment, so if a single shared instance is no longer sufficient, the data structure can be located on a separate Redis instance.

Kredis provides namespace support for keys so that you can safely run parallel tests on data structures without having to perform other tests without destroying each other's data.
