Zettlekasten with git and https://github.com/foambubble/foam - if I'm mobile I use WorkingCopy to paste links into an inbox file that I organize later.

IMO Zig right now is fairly buggy. And the rate of bug introduction has been greater than the fixing of said bugs over the past few years. (Not a knock on the project.) Move fast a…

I have fond memories of learning Pike and Roxen as a kid by perusing the Stellar Crisis source code (released, 1993!) I think there's still some servers around today. https://strat…

SRE. Learning to build the automation that makes changing the kernel a change to a config file (Ansible/Salt/Nix/etc.) and pushing a button.

The NanoPi R4S has a RTL8169 controller with MSI-X capabilities. Post irqbalance setup I verified it's properly distributing IRQs. I'm using mine as a transparent bridge and networ…

In before someone ports this to Rust.

Any chance we can get a scalable network backend to go along with the render enhancements? Fan-out workers on actors and a KCP implementation would great!

const std::string unusable = "unsuitable";

For more inspiration I'd check out the Quake engine source. It's quite the masterpiece. There's also been some modernization over the years by LordHavoc of the DarkPlaces engine ht…

I've never quite understood the allure of wanting to reinvent the wheel by creating a "distribution." There was one time where the Linux kernel did not support enough abstraction o…

Minus CP/CMS and OpenVZ, here's an article on the concepts and tech Docker is built on. https://www.kentik.com/the-evolution-of-docker/

Have you considered running individual containers with supervisord? It's init system agnostic, and works pretty great. Here's a pastebin to get you started. http://pastebin.com/4a9…

Apparently you've never experienced repeated netsplits under DDoS.

Right- Though the point of the post was to dispel the fallacy that the Linux kernel can only handle 50k pp/s per core. Using RDMA effectively bypasses the kernel. He's also testing…

While I agree that systemd does not play nicely with syslog, you quickly realize that journald can be exported as JSON, filtered, described as time ranges, chunked and easily impor…

There are a lot of parallels in serving hundreds of thousands of small HTTP requests a second and HFT. This, and the ability to instrument the onboard FPGA to mitigate against DDoS…

Welcome. Never had any issues with their gear.

Debian testing (Jessie is really top notch.)

We chose SolarFlare+Onload over Intel with pf_ring+DNA or DPDK mainly because of the fully featured TCP stack. While it may make sense for us to develop our own in the future, it d…
