Current status: resisting the human instinct to write new database software from scratch

oh yeah i forgot the actual stream link is
https://stream.sequentialread.com/

I started making these silly images for mainstream social media platforms when I announce my streams because my friend told me that text-only posts (especially containing links) will be buried automatically by them and its much better to post an image and then post the link as a comment. IDK if this is still true, I think its silly but whatever, when in rome....

Implementing support for serial console access to vms in capsul-flask

🙎🏼‍♂️👨🏿‍🦲 Fracus and Darwin 💿🎚️🎛️💿

I liked the idea of golang's module system (every module is just a url) because it seemed to invite more decentralization in packaging, welp, today I discovered firsthand just how wrong I was: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/51174

Soup

Ok, article is updated with several factual accuracy fixes and additional info, and I'm publishing it wider now.

I was looking for an easy-to-read page w/ info on what common features processes have on Mac, Windows, and Linux. I **COULD NOT FIND ANY** on the web.

How the heck did this happen!? At any rate, here's the missing article, just had to write it first.

@technomancy test

I could not find any concise but useful single page descriptions of what a process is and what you can do with a process, so I decided to write my own:

AHHHH I was wrong turns out it was a typo bug in the matrix version we were using. Updating to matrix-synapse v1.50.2 fixes it.

Here is the pull request to fix the issue in matrix-synapse

https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/pull/11819

cyberia.club matrix server outage RCA

RCA is that a cyberia.club user was in a 4chan-associated room on matrix.org which was experiencing an extreme volume of hate message spam from a common "chud" server.

Since we had an incomplete block on the offending server / since matrix-synapse's block feature is buggy, this resulted in what appeared to be an ` O(n*m)` number of error messages in our log file, where `n` is the # of spam messages and `m` is the average number of times that federation was attempted for each message. This log spam filled our disk and caused matrix to crash.

insight was gained by creating a histogram of bytes-per-minute in the log file, and by examining the rooms related to those high-volume error messages.

The issue was resolved by "purging" the room via the matrix administration API, (kick all local users, delete, & block) and then manually deleting all `federation_inbound_events_staging` rows associated with that room from the database.
