We're excited to share that Firefox now uses zlib-rs for gzip (de)compression. This has both performance and safety advantages, but it took a while to get zlib-rs into production. Read why: trifectatech.org/blog/zlib-rs... Thanks to @gabrielesvelto.mas.to.ap.brid.gy and @mozilla.org #rustlang

We're proud to announce the first release of our latest data compression project, Zstandard in Rust! Read why we did this, the current state of the project, and where we're hoping to take it: buff.ly/JoruN7e Thanks to Chainguard, Astral, NLnet Foundation, and @sovereign.tech. #rustlang #opensource

Folkert and Waffle have submitted a project goal to move explicit tail calls forward in 2026. In this blog, Folkert explains the work ahead: trifectatech.org/blog/tail-ca... @wffl.ihatereality.space #rustlang

In our data compression projects, we sometimes hit limitations in Rust itself and in the surrounding tooling. Folkert covers our contributions to the compiler and shows how we have become increasingly comfortable fixing these issues ourselves: trifectatech.org/blog/fixing-... #rustlang #opensource

** Announcement ** Ubuntu to adopt ntpd-rs as the default time synchronization client and server. Thanks to @canonicalltd.bsky.social for their continued support! trifectatech.org/blog/announc...

ntpd-rs is coming to Ubuntu! In RustNation's closing keynote Canonical announced that we are preparing ntpd-rs, our Network Time Protocol implementation, for Ubuntu. Watch the keynote here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOA4... @jnsgr.uk @rustnationuk.bsky.social @ubuntu-ls.bsky.social #rustlang

The Network Time Protocol is generally used completely unprotected, much like the web was before HTTPS. At FOSDEM 2026, Ruben explained how we aim to push adoption of secure time (NTS) using pools of NTS servers. Video and slides: buff.ly/O4sfBKg #fosdem2026 #opensource #timesynchronization

Ruben is headed to FOSDEM! Catch his talk 'Securing time with NTS' on Sun 1 Feb at 13.20 in room H.2215 (Ferrer)! fosdem.org/2026/schedul... @fosdem.org #opensource #rustlang #fosdem

Zlib-rs is now feature-complete! We've released v0.6, the first version with a stable and complete API. The blog post has the details. With thanks to our maintainer Folkert de Vries, our contributors and @sovereign.tech. trifectatech.org/blog/zlib-rs... #rust #rustlang

Sudo-rs maintainer Marc Schoolderman was invited to the 2025 Ubuntu Summit to talk about the design choices that shaped sudo-rs. Watch the talk here: trifectatech.org/blog/video-s... @canonicalltd.bsky.social #rustlang

New release of sudo-rs! Version 0.2.11 is out with askpass and multi-lingual support. Want to see sudo-rs in your language? You can start helping out today. PR's are welcome! We thank the @sovereign.tech for investing in this work, as well as 15 external contributors! github.com/trifectatech...

The joint statement “Improving Europe's cybersecurity posture through memory safety”, has now been published: trifectatech.org/blog/calling... It calls for stronger #MemorySafety incentives in EU cybersecurity policies. Thanks to all supporters and contributors! #security

How do you test code that a CI machine won't run? To support avx-512 SIMD instructions in zlib-rs, we taught Miri how to emulate them. trifectatech.org/blog/emulati... #rustlang

Canonical's Jon Seager talks about our sudo-rs and ntpd-rs (!) in ubuntu-ls.bsky.social, and his bold but level-headed vision on Rust's future for Ubuntu, in the Rust in Production podcast with Matthias Endler: corrode.dev/podcast/s05e... #rustlang #ubuntu @canonicalltd.bsky.social @jnsgr.uk

The Rust Foundation has joined orgs across industry & open source to call for a more secure, memory-safe future for Europe. The path to safer digital infrastructure is clear — & it starts with modern, memory-safe tech. Read the joint statement & add your support:

Ubuntu 25.10, running our sudo-rs as the default sudo, has just been released! "Rust-based implementations of sudo and coreutils for improved memory safety" canonical.com/blog/canonic... #rust #rustlang

Two days until the release of sudo-rs in Ubuntu 25.10 🚀 Here is everything you always wanted to know about sudo-rs: trifectatech.org/blog/frequen... #rust #ubuntu #rustlang

Blog post by Folkert: How can we make Rust programs that use state machines even faster? Trifecta Tech aims to create safe and robust infrastructure software, that's why we're dedicated to making Rust the go-to for performance-critical components like zlib&zstd. trifectatech.org/blog/improvi...

Ruben and David are the champions (how cool is that?) for the NTS Pool session at the @ietf.org 123 Hackathon! In parallel they will also work on NTPv5 interop testing and Network Time Security for PTP and CSPTP. wiki.ietf.org/en/meeting/1... #ietf123

Our sudo-rs is headed to Ubuntu 25.10! Write-up about the impact of the project and the collaboration with @tweedegolf.bsky.social and @ferroussystems.bsky.social, by our friends and project initiators at Prossimo: www.memorysafety.org/blog/sudo-rs... #rustlang #rust

The success story of the memory-safe sudo-rs, the Rust implementation of the sudo command: www.memorysafety.org/blog/sudo-rs... Thanks to Prossimo, Ferrous Systems and Trifecta Tech Foundation 🙏 @ferroussystems.bsky.social @trifectatech.bsky.social #rustlang #memorysafety #cybersecurity

David and Ruben are headed to Madrid for the 123rd @ietf.org meeting! They'll join the NTP WG and work on NTP version 5, an NTS pool, and better time synchronization in general. Come find them to talk all-things-time! More on NTPv5 & NTS: trifectatech.org/tags/ntpd-rs/ - Madrid 123 image by IETF

Time just got better! ntpd-rs now optionally supports NTPv5, the next version of the Network Time Protocol. trifectatech.org/blog/ntpd-rs... #rustlang @sovereign.tech

A new release of sudo-rs is out! Highlights: - Increased backwards compatibility with older Linux kernels. - Programs executed can be prevented from running other programs (NOEXEC) - Other usability improvements suggested and contributed by our users! #rust #rustlang github.com/trifectatech...

Today we're switching the bzip2 crate from C to 100% rust: trifectatech.org/blog/bzip2-c... Thanks to: Alex Crichton and Radically Open Security, and to NLnet Foundation for funding the work through the e-Commons fund with financial support from @minbzk.bsky.social‬ #rustlang #rust

ICYMI: Ubuntu 25.10 is to ship with a new version of 'sudo' written in Rust. #rustlang #ubuntu

We prefer to say "we'd love to be in your distro". Nevertheless, a really good "sudo-rs explained" by @brodierobertson.xyz‬. Thanks! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Le4i...

Our data compression projects aim to offer best-in-class performance. @tweedegolf.bsky.social‬'s Folkert de Vries shows how SIMD helps us to speed up zlib-rs in compare256, a crucial part of the compression algorithm that finds repetitions in the input. trifectatech.org/blog/simd-in... #rustlang

Our sudo-rs work in The Register:

Trifecta Tech Foundation is now a member of the @rustfoundation.org ! Why? We believe that software must become safer; that this is paramount in critical infrastructure; and that #rustlang is an outstanding choice of technology for this purpose. rustfoundation.org/media/rust-f...

* Announcement * Memory-safe sudo to become the default in Ubuntu! @canonicalltd.bsky.social is supporting us to get sudo-rs ready for Ubuntu 25.10.  trifectatech.org/blog/memory-...

We're happy to see adoption for zlib-rs skyrocketing. Especially stoked about rust tooling like cargo, gitoxide and rustup 🚀 Special thanks to @josh.social.joshtriplett.org.ap.brid.gy github.com/rust-lang/ca... github.com/rust-lang/ru... github.com/GitoxideLabs...

New release: zlib-rs 0.5.0 🎉 We now allow using zlib-rs together with stock zlib or zlib-ng in the same project. This is a **breaking change** if you relied on Rust exporting C symbols. The export-symbols flag preserves the previous behavior. github.com/trifectatech... #rustlang #rust

New: sudo-rs supports FreeBSD + (highly anticipated!) "--bell" 🔔 Also in this release: the first contribution (bugfix) by Todd Miller, the maintainer of the original sudo - thank you! More thanks to our funder NLnet Foundation and our maintainers Marc and Bjorn. github.com/trifectatech...

sudo-rs might become the default in future Ubuntu releases! The details from Ubuntu VP of Engineering Jon Seager: buff.ly/axxif1t Our team, Marc, Bjorn, Ruben and Marlon are core contributors of sudo-rs, which is now part of Trifecta Tech Foundation. #rustlang #riir

It's underway! The week of #IETF122 Bangkok hosted by Juniper Networks has kicked off with the #IETFHackathon. Select sessions are streamed live and all sessions are available on demand after the meeting. Find links and more information at: www.ietf.org/live/
