Does anyone run these "at home" with small clusters? I've been googling unsuccessfully and this thread doesn't refer to anything. So a non-quantized scout won't fit in a machine wi…

Half on topic: what libs/etc did you use for the animations? Not immediately obvious from the source page. (it's a topic I'm deeply familiar with so I don't have a comment on the c…

Throwing out a clarification: EVcache is effectively a complex memcached client + an internal ecosystem at Netflix. You can get much of its benefits with other systems (such as the…

:'(

At some point the OBSD CVS server was something I donated. Don't think it's in this picture as I don't think it was a Dell. Never saw a picture of the thing in action actually, doh…

I just got one a few weeks back but haven't gotten to spend a ton of time with it yet. It's taking some adjustment but I'm liking it so far. - had 1440p + 1080p monitors on stands …

client ecosystem is definitely a sore point now. I've just sort of started working on a replacement for libmemcached to hopefully cut down on the complexity... but then that's a mi…

I can say with certainty this isn't strictly true. The failures should be relatively rare; when I say relatively I mean on the level of natural node failure. If natural node failur…

Now a more philosoraptor style comment: I see Mcrib is a service built to quickly detect and replace memcached's. I treat memcached in infrastructure as a very stable service. Mean…

Hi! I'd like to offer some hopefully useful information if any Slack folks end up reading this, or anyone else with a similar infrastructure. I'll start with some tech and make a s…

License?

The venerable lodev tutorial uses this method, which I also used for most of my engines. I learned an interesting tidbit while comparing the two methods though: The old-school orig…

Looks like the engine is missing the fish-eye correction in the ray-cast calc. I love writing these engines for fun :)

It was an algorithmic/lock scaling limit. Originally it was single threaded, then when it was first multi-threaded it scaled up to 4 threads. Then I split up some locks and it scal…

Everything that interacts with the disk is extstore.c, most of the wrapper code that glues memcached with extstore is storage.c. extstore.c has barely changed since I first wrote i…

That's an excellent question; it turns out there are a _lot_ of semantics that the OS is covering up for you when using mmap. For instance (this may be fixed by now), but any proce…

There are stats in "stats items" / "stats slabs". Last access time for most recent eviction per slab class, etc. (see doc/protocol.txt from the tarball). "watch evictions" command …

Looks like this article got one bit of updated information but missed everything else... I'll address some things point by point: data structures: - yes, fewer datastructures, if a…

It's not really realistic, you're right. For my own goals it's "defense in depth" - just because I can't think of a scenario now doesn't mean it's impossible to do. Access also mak…

Hope that works :) I have this set up to an AT&T fiber gateway trashcan in pass-thru mode, so technically the RPI's vlan port has a public IP address. Otherwise I couldn't get upnp…

fwiw when I bought it, it was on sale for ~$50 too. couldn't find a 2.5g switch that I liked in my price range, so went cheap as possible and will swap it when a 2.5g hits all my r…

Did this earlier in the year with an rpi4 and a netgear managed switch. It can route 780mbit down/up (nftables)! Can probably get closer to 900mbit with some overclocking, and redu…

This comment is correct. I made that change ages ago. Amused it's still there.

https://twitter.com/dormando/status/1402466173778677764 my fault. I would sometimes monitor for "guru mediations" popping up to tell if we were throwing errors without it being cau…

Reads-wise I've done tests with up to 48 cores... It scales just about linearly. Writes don't scale much past a single core but really nobody asks for this so I haven't worked on i…
