Native ACME support comes to Nginx

NGINX and Let's Encrypt share a common vision of an open and secure web. Now, with built-in support for ACME, the world's most popular web server, reverse proxy and ingress controller for Kubernetes can simplify certificate management for everyone. From the home lab to scaled-out, mission-critical enterprise deployments. Our ideal has always been that server software could get and renew Let’s Encrypt certificates automatically, with minimal human intervention. Over time, more and more web serv

Nginx introduces native support for ACME protocol

We are very excited to announce the preview release of ACME support in NGINX. The implementation introduces a new module ngx_http_acme_module that provides built-in directives for requesting, installing, and renewing certificates directly from NGINX configuration. The ACME support leverages our NGINX-Rust SDK and is available as a Rust-based dynamic module for both NGINX Open Source users as well as enterprise NGINX One customers using NGINX Plus. NGINX’s native support for ACME brings a variet

ACM Transitions to Full Open Access

ACM's Transition to Full Open Access: A New Era for Computing Research For more than seven decades, ACM has played a pivotal role in advancing computing research, fostering collaboration, and disseminating knowledge through its world-class Digital Library, influential publications, and premier conferences. In a significant step to broadening access to computing research, ACM is transitioning to a fully Open Access (OA) publishing model by the end of 2025. This bold move marks a pivotal moment

Elements of System Design

Elements of System Design System design is often taught through domain-specific solutions specific to particular domains, such as databases, operating systems, or computer architecture, each with its own methods and vocabulary. While this diversity is a strength, it can obscure cross-cutting principles that recur across domains. This paper proposes a preliminary taxonomy of system design principles distilled from several domains in computer systems. The goal is a shared, concise vocabulary that

‘Coyote vs. Acme’ Finally Comes Out Next Year, and We’ve Seen Footage

Two years ago, Coyote vs. Acme was a victim of Warner Bros. Discovery’s cost-cutting cancellation wave. Despite public outcry, it initially seemed like it’d never see the light of day. But things have worked out in its favor: it’s coming to theaters next year, and San Diego Comic-Con offered a first look at what’s to come in the Looney Tunes’ latest movie and, more importantly, a release date: August 28, 2026. A mix of live-action and animation, the film sees Wile E. Coyote finally becoming fed

Trump Snubbed Jared Isaacman as NASA Chief, but the Private Astronaut Isn’t Done With Space

Although Jared Isaacman is out of the running for the position of NASA administrator, the space enthusiast is still very much interested in staying in the game. In a recent appearance, Isaacman revealed he would still like to pursue launching robotic missions to space. This weekend, Isaacman received the National Space Society’s Wernher von Braun Award for the privately funded Polaris Dawn mission that he led in September 2024. After his speech, Isaacman spoke of plans he would have executed as

Isaacman’s bold plan for NASA: Nuclear ships, seven-crew Dragons, accelerated Artemis

Nearly two weeks have passed since Jared Isaacman received a fateful, brief phone call from two officials in President Trump's Office of Personnel Management. In those few seconds, the trajectory of his life over the next three and a half years changed dramatically. The president, the callers said, wanted to go in a different direction for NASA's administrator. At the time, Isaacman was within days of a final vote on the floor of the US Senate and assured of bipartisan support. He had run the g

Trump’s Pick for NASA Chief Hints at Expected Shift Toward Mars

If Jared Isaacman becomes NASA’s administrator, as he’s likely to do, the agency will prioritize Mars over the Moon under the Trump administration, judging by some of his first public comments on the matter. Jared Isaacman has been active on social media since Trump named him as his choice to become the U.S. space agency’s next administrator, which he did in early December. But the astronaut mostly stuck to posting about flying planes, his payments company Shift4, and retweeting images of space
