"NixOS is a Linux distribution with a unique approach to package and configuration management. Built on top of the Nix package manager, it is completely declarative, makes upgrading systems reliable, and has many other advantages."

"Flynn is two things: A "distribution" of components that out-of-the-box gives companies a reasonable starting point for an internal "platform" for running their applications and services. The banner for a collection of independent projects that together make up a toolkit or loose framework for building distributed systems. Flynn is both a whole and many parts, depending on what is most useful for you. The common goal is to democratize years of experience and best practices in building distributed systems. It is the software layer between operators and developers that makes both their lives easier. Unlike most PaaS's, Flynn can run stateful services as well as 12 factor apps. This includes built-in database appliances (just Postgres to start). Flynn is modular so users can easily modify, upgrade, and replace components. "

"Polipo is a small and fast caching web proxy (a web cache, an HTTP proxy, a proxy server). While Polipo was designed to be used by one person or a small group of people, there is nothing that prevents it from being used by a larger group. Polipo has some features that are, as far as I know, unique among currently available proxies: Polipo will use HTTP/1.1 pipelining if it believes that the remote server supports it, whether the incoming requests are pipelined or come in simultaneously on multiple connections (this is more than the simple usage of persistent connections, which is done by e.g. Squid); Polipo will cache the initial segment of an instance if the download has been interrupted, and, if necessary, complete it later using Range requests; Polipo will upgrade client requests to HTTP/1.1 even if they come in as HTTP/1.0, and up- or downgrade server replies to the client's capabilities (this may involve conversion to or from the HTTP/1.1 chunked encoding); Polipo has complete support for IPv6 (except for scoped (link-local) addresses). Polipo can optionally use a technique known as Poor Man's Multiplexing to reduce latency even further. In short, Polipo uses a plethora of techniques to make web browsing (seem) faster."
