I think the title of this post should be the actual title from the linked page, "LTTng: an open source tracing framework for Linux". The current title ("LTTng: An open-source alternative to eBPF") seems to imply that eB

Ken Liu has a relevant short story [1] - set in a future Earth where climate change and rising sea levels have forced people to live on floating settlements. It's also included in his collection The Hidden Girl and Other Stories. [1]

Question about the WARP map - I assume the grey countries are places where Cloudflare doesn't have any presence, but what about Egypt/Oman? Why are they green? And why is Australia orange and not red?

If they're restoring from backup that makes sense right? I assume backups are read-only, so deleting messages won't delete them from the backup also. It is sloppy though that you would see anything before the restore was totally

In my experience Overleaf is worlds better than using git to collaborate on a paper. Access control is easier, you can see where other people are working in the document, there's no need to mess with merging or handling conflicts. I&
