Would this be a suitable ds to distribute node state for caching indices? Let's say two nodes have a set of N (possibly overlapping) keys and I want both to know all keys of each other for request routing (request for n \in N preferabl

If you are on Linux, there are long time known problems with low power cpu states. These states can be entered by your CPU when under low/no load. A common approach is to go into the BIOS/UEFI settings and check that c6 is disable

I'm pretty sure a lot of fields would disagree with you. Last I checked game programming, OS development, embedded development and more were deeply invested in either C or more often C++, especially when RT tasks were involved or vendo

Huh, I have always wondered if for these usecases log-based analytics would suffice. No need to intrude on the client when the request itself already includes lots of data. You get visited page, time of visit and a minimal user identifier (

My best guess is that they probably will keep the data for a few weeks/months longer for the inevitable users who forgot to archive it and/or missed the announcement.

For what it's worth this will not work properly, you have different environment variables for user and system units. Proper error handling and graceful fallback for these cases are probably worth a module here (though it could be a 10-

Idk, for packaging software and hardening existing services it is good. systemd basically just gives you a unified interface to the different knobs of the kernel, that would otherwise have to be adjusted via scripting. That does seem to fit

Given they mentioned Windows (and not WSL) that might not be a viable option. AFAIK, Windows is not natively supported by nixpkgs.
