Excited to share “Poisoned Wells,” which presents the largest point-in-time study of website blocking in India to date. I tested the blocking of 294 million apex domains across six Indian ISPs, sending 1.76 billion DNS queries in total.

FOSS Hack 2026 is officially LIVE! 💚 Wishing all the amazing participants the very best as you begin this month-long open-source journey Rules: fossunited.org/fosshack/rules #FOSSHack2026 #TheFOSSClub

Okay fine. FINE. March 8th is the new deadline for FOSSHack 2026 registrations. This is the last time we're being nice about it. fossunited.org/fosshack/2026 #FOSSHack 2026 #unitedbyfoss #fossunited

& few more.... #FOSSHack 2026 #unitedbyfoss #fossunited

(okay fine. consider this your personal invitation. livestream tomorrow 👀) Join here: fossunited.org/c/fosshack/202…

We literally handed you the problem statements, and the partner projects, and a month to build. What else do you want, a personal invitation?

You're making actual contributions to actual codebases with maintainers who care about what you build. 31 days. 12 projects. and a PR that lives way beyond March. 🔗 fossunited.org/fosshack/2026/… #FOSSHack 2026 #unitedbyfoss #fossunited

What if your March wasn't just another month? FOSS Hack 2026's Partner Projects Programme puts you inside real FOSS projects, the kind that power tools people actually use every day. you're not building a demo. you're not shipping a prototype that dies after the hackathon.

These communities decided FOSS Hack 2026 was worth showing up for. And we think that's pretty cool. 👀 fossunited.org/hack/fosshack26 #FOSSHack 2026 #unitedbyfoss #fossunited
