I've been toying with a similar idea for ~6 months: A lightweight job status dashboard. I wanted something that required no setup, but could just push success/failure messages to as part of various cron jobs, windows tasks, and sh

>But the Rust community needs to invest time and energy into finding why that's the case and fixing it. As I said in my post, the rust coreutils team HAS fixed this in 0.11. It's just that Ubuntu 26.04 is stuck on the older

Beware that rust coreutils on 26.04 currently has really bad performance with larger block sizes. Ganeti uses "dd bs=1M" as part of a disc image transfer pipeline, and with 26.04 performance dropped from ~350MB/sec to 30MB&#

ProTip: You can switch back to Gnu coreutils on 26.04 with: apt install coreutils-from-gnu coreutils-from-uutils- --allow-remove-essential And pin it so an upgrade doesn't flip it back with: printf 'Package: coreutils-from-uutils\

The whole reason I made it was that the "top down" view never really clicked for me, so when I'm playing it I almost never look at it.

I have tried to forego swap because I had hoped that it would avoid swap thrashing, where performance goes into the toilet; I'd rather a process was killed but I could still access the system, than be unable to login to it. But I'

... but if you buy my book with more of this, I'll send you even more to read! I get it, sometimes it's fun to follow a story. But I also read a dozen or so paragraphs, then started scrolling, then gave up.

I wonder how much of this is due to the AI tooling being taught on sloppy code that humans have written. Over the last 4 decades I've looked at a lot of code on the Internet and there's a lot of slop out there.

I wish more cameras with GPSes supported SMTPE or something to mark the video with a time code. I get the sense that GPS time is accurate to within 1/30th of a second, if not way way more, but even if it just got me in the neighborhoo

I was just wondering yesterday if it'd be possible to have a tailscale client, or multiple tailscale clients in their own network namespaces, that could connect to multiple networks. The slightly tricky part would be managing a local N

For reference, ~2 years ago I did a 8x12 shed for under $3K, DIY. It is not insulated or finished inside. Footer and slab were under a grand, I used some reclaimed 2x4s and bought the rest, sheathing, roofing, flashing, self-made windows

Agreed, it was 2-3 months wait to get to see an ENT for me last year. My daughter's regular eye check identified a problem and it's 3 months to get her into an eye specialist to review it. Somewhat related: a couple years ago my

I'm going to take it that you were being sarcastic. However, in the case of the apt cacher, the DDoS of Ubuntu infrastructure showed that the existing apt cachers left a *LOT* of room for improvement, not to mention that apt-cacher-ng
