    EmojiOne Color SVGinOT Font

    EmojiOne Color SVGinOT Font

    EmojiOne Color SVGinOT Font

    A color and B&W emoji SVGinOT font built from EmojiOne artwork with support for ZWJ, skin tone diversity and country flags. The font works in all operating systems, but will currently only show color emoji in Firefox, Thunderbird, Photoshop CC 2017, and Windows Edge V38.14393+. This is not a limitation of the font, but of the operating systems and applications. Regular B&W outline emoji are included for backward/fallback compatibility. SVG in Open Type is a standard by Adobe and Mozilla for color OpenType and Open Font Format fonts. It allows font creators to embed complete SVG files within a font enabling full color and even animations. There are more details in the SVGinOT proposal and the OpenType SVG table specifications. The default serif, sans-serif and monospace font for most Linux distributions is DejaVu. DejaVu includes a wide range of symbols that override the EmojiOne Color characters.

    Shaderc

    Shaderc

    A collection of tools, libraries, and tests for Vulkan shader

    Shaderc is a collection of tools and libraries for compiling shaders—small programs that run on GPUs—into SPIR-V, the intermediate representation used by the Vulkan graphics API. It provides both a command-line tool (glslc) and a C/C++ library (libshaderc) that wrap the functionality of glslang (the Khronos reference compiler for GLSL) and SPIRV-Tools to deliver a modern, scriptable, and efficient shader compilation workflow. The glslc compiler offers a GCC/Clang-like interface for building GLSL and HLSL shaders, making it easy to integrate into existing build systems. Meanwhile, libshaderc exposes a stable API that allows developers to programmatically compile shader strings into SPIR-V modules within graphics engines and tools. Shaderc supports advanced features such as file inclusion (#include), concurrency, and cross-platform builds, and it maintains backward compatibility for long-term projects.

    Certificate Transparency Go

    Certificate Transparency Go

    Auditing for TLS certificates (Go code)

    certificate-transparency-go is a Go codebase for building and interacting with Certificate Transparency (CT) systems, from low-level parsing to full log operation. It includes forked ASN.1 and X.509 packages tailored to accept and analyze real-world certificates, including pre-certificates that stricter libraries would reject, supporting CT’s role as an ecosystem observatory. A TLS parsing library, CT data types, and multiple client libraries enable access to CT logs over HTTP and DNS, along with scanners for traversing entire logs. The repository also provides command-line tools for verifying signed certificate timestamps, inspecting certificates and CRLs, and querying logs. For operators, a “CT personality” integrates with Trillian so you can run a CT log backed by a verifiable transparency log. The project is structured for contributors, with generators, mocks, linting, and presubmit tooling to keep changes consistent and reliable.

    NSync

    NSync

    nsync is a C library that exports various synchronization primitives

    nsync is a portable C library that provides a collection of advanced synchronization primitives designed to facilitate safe and efficient multithreaded programming. It offers reader-writer locks, condition variables, run-once initialization, waitable counters, and waitable bits for coordination and cancellation between threads. Unlike traditional pthreads-based synchronization, nsync introduces conditional critical sections, allowing developers to wait for arbitrary conditions without explicit signaling or complex loop-based logic. This approach simplifies concurrency management and often improves readability and maintainability of multithreaded code. The library emphasizes efficiency, with locks and condition variables occupying minimal memory and supporting cancellation mechanisms through nsync_note objects rather than thread-level cancellation. Designed with portability and performance in mind, nsync can be compiled on Unix-like systems and Windows using a C90 compiler.

    Public Image Mirror

    Public Image Mirror

    Many images are hosted overseas, such as GCR

    The DaoCloud Public Image Mirror project provides a stable and efficient container image acceleration service designed to improve download speeds in regions where access to global registries is slow, such as China. Many popular registries like Docker Hub, GCR, and GHCR are located overseas, often causing significant delays when pulling images. This project solves the problem by offering mirrored registries with consistent image hashes and real-time synchronization. It uses a lazy-loading mechanism, caching image layers in third-party object storage, ensuring that frequently used images are delivered faster. The system is simple to use, requiring only a prefix replacement to pull images from the mirror instead of the original registry. By reducing latency and improving reliability, the service supports developers in accelerating Kubernetes, Docker, Containerd, and AI model image downloads in production environments.
