Project mention: Release Radar · July 2024: Major updates from the open source community | dev.to | 2024-08-02
We had to feature doggo, Bluey is an Australian National icon 🐶, and I'm Aussie after all. That aside, Doggo is a modern command line DNS client written in Golang. It outputs information in a concise manner, and supports DoH, DoT, DoQ, and DNSCrypt. It's not just called doggo for the Bluey fans and dog lovers, (even though doggos are the best, sorry cat people), it's inspired by dog written in Rust. Doggo is written in Go, so dog + go = doggo! Congratulations on shipping—and writing—your first DNS client 🥳.

Project mention: Show HN: Wikimark – a social bookmarking website powered by Wikidata | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-21
Hi all,
I wanted to build something small over the weekend so I wrote Wikimark, a social bookmarking website powered by Wikidata.
You might remember DNS over Wikipedia[0]: it's a browser extension that uses Wikipedia to find the latest URL of a given website and redirects you there. Wikimark is similar. You give it a name that the website is commonly known as (e.g., "academic-torrents"), and it finds and redirects you to the latest URL of that website. The difference is, you don't need to install anything at all to use Wikimark and it still runs in your browser.
Try it:
https://academic-torrents.wikimark.net
I'll be around to answer your questions!

doh-server
Fast, mature, secure DoH and ODoH server proxy written in Rust. Previously known as doh-proxy and rust-doh.
I've been using https://github.com/DNSCrypt/doh-server for serving my DNS server via DOH for at least 2 years. Only had two issues with it and both were due to lack of maintenance on my part (ie. not updating the binary for one and then not re-configuring it after I changed configurations for the upstream DNS).

This round was taken by the tech lead of Core Platform Engineering team. The thing that gave me an advantage in this round was my DNS Server Project which was written in RUST . The interviewer took keen interest in my project and we discussed it for half an hour. This was then proceeded by a System Design question, which was to be designed and implemented in GO.This really had me sweating and I am actually surprised I was able to implement it.
