  1. Aeron

    Efficient reliable UDP unicast, UDP multicast, and IPC message transport

    Project mention: Prefer Strict Tables in SQLite | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-11

    Project mention: Fifty Green Tests, Two Real Bugs, and the Oracle One `npm install` Away | dev.to | 2026-08-31

    Mask selection is meant to be deterministic: apply eight masks, score each, keep the lowest.

Both scan.
