Conditional to your definition of "serious", I did: https://github.com/64kramsystem/catacomb_ii-64k . I essentially don't do technical writing anymore (and I had the impression tha…

I write a blog that at its peak it had a not-huge-but-not-small-either userbase, and a massive TIL. Blog and TIL are two radically different things. I write the TIL for myself, and…

I've been using VFIO and maintaining a guide for a few years*, then I've realized that VFIO kinda works, but it's not a reliable technology, and I moved (back) to dual boot. There …

I can only share a part, since the majority of my scripts reveal much about my system structure (I try to open whatever I can, though; the tedious part of open sourcing a script, i…

I keep a relatively large amount of notes (1), which are fundamental to my learning. My notes are essentially books in markdown format, which I can open with the editor/IDE I use w…

Last year I humorously told my 7yo kid that Santa Claus died of COVID. Already before COVID though, we had the Christmas tradition of watching Futurama's "Xmas Story" episode, pret…

Sure! I've actually though that it was a relatively small number :) I've reached 8k users around 1/1.5 years ago, so the times are even shorter. I did not plan for exposure (audien…

The following is my personal experience (so I can't comment on the general nature of blog comments). I have a "strictly technical" SWE blog with approximately 4k to 8k users per mo…

I wrote long ago about writing competion scripts in any language: https://saveriomiroddi.github.io/Using-scripts-in-any-langua... . Although it's not ideal (one ends up duplicating…

> has anyone here read Rust in Action[1]? I did, and I didn't like it much, but YMMV. First: sadly, as common practice in the Rust books world, the book devotes 1/4th of the conten…

Absolutely "not necessarily". SWE requires an extensive amount of learning (if you're lucky :)). Unless one has extraordinary mnemonic capabilities, note taking is a way to structu…

Hello! I'll write you via email.

I definitely correct my "does" a good job with "did" a job. But ultimately, I've advised a good deal of caution, which I think is fair, in particular, considering that only a small…

Thanks, that's a very interesting case. I correct my statement with "_did_ a good job", and appreciate rigorous testing.

I've maintained a QEMU fork with pinning support, and even coauthored a research paper on the Linux pinning performance topic, and the results have been... underwhelming; "sadly" t…

Just in case anybody finds the subject interesting and would like to play with this topic, there's an experimental native-Ruby JIT project by @tenderlove: https://github.com/tender…

I've had to compile only a few times C/++ programs, and the experience can't be really compared to Rust (probably, to any other language :)). Lately I've cross-compiled a few times…

> 2. The passed-through card must have a monitor connected. Regarding this, I don't know about LG, but with a standard QEMU VFIO setup, one use a single monitor connected to the tw…

(I haven't used LG, so these are general VFIO considerations). I mantain a guide for setting up VFIO ( https://github.com/saveriomiroddi/vga-passthrough ), which I frequently use. …

I have one! Here's my (proud :)) TIL repository: https://github.com/saveriomiroddi/personal_notes .
