We’ve released NSD 4.14.1 with more compact data storage for improved memory efficiency.
Check the release notes: https://www.nlnetlabs.nl/projects/nsd/download/

Willem also wrote a blog post explaining the approach and measurements showing the reduced memory footprint:

You can tell if someone is a computering supergenius if their solution to a difficult problem looks like nothing.

Lisp is six functions. Forth is 200 bytes. Unix is just tiny programs and text files. The original web is just a hacked SMTP server sending SGML files. And yet, it does *that*.

The huge, complex stuff--Windows, Java, the modern web--is all the work of mediocre thinkers with big budgets and too little time.

Today in 1956, 69 years ago: FORTRAN, the first modern computer language, is first shared with the coding community.

#OnThisDay

One more straw on the #DNS camel's back! Yay! \o/

Compact Denial of Existence in #DNSSEC is finally published as RFC 9824

Introducing a new EDNS header flag: CO (Compact Answers OK). As it's the first time a new one is added, it will surely run smoothly with stupid middleboxes \o/

It additionnaly adds more traditionnal stuff: a new RR (NXNAME) and a new EDE (Invalid Query Type)
