This Arch-based Linux distro has a clean, privacy-focused experience for tinkerers

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2026-02-10 08:08:00

Jack Wallen / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Arch Linux has a reputation for being too complicated, unstable, and not for everyone. For those reasons, several distributions have emerged that attempt to bring Arch to the masses. Many of them (such as Manjaro and EndeavorOS) succeed quite well. However, not all of those forks of Arch are created equal. Take, for example, Liya Linux. This distribution was created and maintained by an individual to be an Arch-based Linux distribution that's simple t

SIMD within a register: How I doubled hash table lookup performance

While working on a Cuckoo Filter implementation in C#, I created an array-like structure for the underlying hash table. I chose an 8-bit fingerprint: it aligns nicely on a byte boundary and still keeps the false-positive rate around 3 %. The layout looked straightforward—just a byte array where the start of each bucket is calculated as bucketIdx * bucketSize . The size of each bucket is 4 slots, which is a solid choice for Cuckoo Filter. Bucket 0 3A 00 B7 F2 Bucket 1 4C 91 00 DE Bucket n AA 00
