zokula··on Notes on BPF and eBPF
I call bullshit! Ebpf programs cannot crash the kernel since they cannot be run if they contain bugs in the first place.

Kotlin is a PITA to work with and code compared to modern Java.

Common hackish term for Solaris, Sun's System VR4 version of Unix that came out of the standardization wars of the early 1990s. So named because especially on older hardware, responsiveness was much less crisp than under the preceding SunOS. Early releases of Solaris (that is, Solaris 2, as some marketroids at Sun retroactively rechristened SunOS as Solaris 1) were quite buggy, and Sun was forced by customer demand to support SunOS for quite some time. Newer versions are acknowledged to be among the best commercial Unix variants in 1998, but still lose single-processor benchmarks to Sparc Linux.

Meh... The majority of the largest and most popular CDNs are all running Linux stacks.

zokula··on Can the legacy of trauma be passed down the generations?

Shame about the license.
zokula··on Are SSDs More Reliable Than Hard Drives?

Using bangs defeats the purpose of using DDG in the first place.

And DDG tracks your clicks just like Google does.

zokula··on Remembering When Only Barbarians Drank Milk (2018)
> Lobster fed to prisoners was grounded whole, with the shell,

No they weren't! It's a myth.

>In all my research on this subject, I cannot find a single source of lobster shells being crushed in the entire history of lobster canning, between a dozen books on the subject, encyclopedia entries, and two dozen articles about lobster canning. Lobster shells are made out of chitin and are entirely inedible. Furthermore, there is no economical reason for trying to mash up rock-hard lobster shells to ‘stretch’ an abundant product, especially in an era before industrial grinders were available.

>In the colonial times, lobsters were harvested from tidal pools by hand, and were in extreme abundance. They were fed to children, prisoners, and indentured servants. They were also often used as fertilizer and animal feed. According to food historian Kathleen Curtin, prisoners and indentured servants enacting laws to limit how often they were fed lobster is also a myth, and there isn’t a shred of documentation of it actually happening.

zokula··on PipeWire: A server for Linux audio and video streams
> Similar thing for me. Pulseaudio sometimes takes a bunch of CPU with audio playing.

Run the same audio without pulse and the CPU usage will be higher.

zokula··on PipeWire: A server for Linux audio and video streams
Run all of your apps without pulseaudio and you will see even more CPU useage than.

Pulseaudio lowers CPU usage by 5 to 25 percent depending on CPU architecture.
