A new fruit interest

Hi folks,

Hopefully you are all good despite the worrying ambiance about the coronavirus ...
Not too much news in my side except I ve been switching over Windows development professionally speaking after few years. Finally to realise Visual Studio/CL C compiler is finally a bit more decent at least with C99-ish code :-) In a same time, finally decided to give a try to the Raspberry's trend with a bit of a custom case.


Despite being still arm 32 bits architecture, the overall power progress of the 4th iteration is really noticeable with the last time I tried an older model. You cannot still however do everything you can expect from out today standard in term of computing usage but nice to see, for this price, enough to be used for nice small dedicated services (home ad blocker for ex). In my side, was more used a dev platform, trying to contribute to my usual projects but from this healthy fruit point of view :-) for instance, couple of video games ; most of them already "play" nice in this architecture however still possible to improve the support.

Apart of this, memcached 1.6 just went out with finally the extstore feature by default among other things after being tested thoroughly ... few of my own fixes are included as well. AFL++ as always ... noticeably there is a GSoc plan for this project, few students are already willing to involve themselves ; that is great. Also undergoing a large rewriting, getting rid of globals among other things, more custom callback as well ; we ll see how it will go but definitively it is diverging more and more from AFL with the time.
