@mckinley@twtxt.net Most little web apps, websites, static sites, whatever run perfectly fine with good performance on just 100mCores, a lot of what I run only has between 100m-500m of CPU allocated to it.
@mckinley@twtxt.net Yup!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I use nethogs for this sort of thing: https://github.com/raboof/nethogs
@prologic@twtxt.net What is an mCore? 1/1000th of a core?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net Yes, standard time forever would be so great!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de It can already drive if you as the legal representative sit in the codriver seat!
That’s really impressive I have to say.
Bitwarden is truly excellent. Highly recommend
@xuu@txt.sour.is Just a Monoid in the category of Endofunctors, what’s the problem?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh cute! That drake wasn’t scared, was he? Yes, please take your good cam next time. :-)
Was that a highway that you were walking next to? The last one shows a really cool scenery. I dig that.
Does this sound reasonable for running small workloads? 🤔

Low-quality smartphone shots from today’s walk:
Most importantly: Ducklings! 😍 I’ll have to take my good cam next time.
My printer will turn 18 years in a couple of months and will thus be allowed to drive a car.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, okay, it’s not as steep as stairs, but still quite the climb. 😅
Now I wish there was Google Street View of that area. 😅 I’d love to go around and explore that area a bit. Oh well.
@prologic@twtxt.net Wait, don’t you live somewhere in Queensland? Wikipedia says there is no DST in Queensland (anymore). 🤔
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_Australia
Funny how not all states in Australia observe DST. Why can’t we do the same in Europe, ffs. 🥴
@pratikbaid3@twtxt.net is looking for a few small projects to add to his contractor/freelance CV and has reached out to me to see if he could do a bit of work on the Yarn.social mobile app. He’s done work before in the past and has done a pretty decent job.
Two projects we’ve discussed:
Timeline | Mentioned | Profile – Maybe it could also have “Search” too if I somehow found the time to add an appropriate search endpoint to the API.What do y’all think? 🤔
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Well it’s screwed with my working hours somewhat, but this year I’ve decided to just “not give a shit”™ and just get up at the normal time and start at the time I had been starting work the past 6 months, 8.30am. In practise it probably means I end up working a bit longer for ½ the year, but oh well, at least I don’t have to fiddle with my alarm clock ⏰
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I immediately thought of this when you asked, because we use eBPF-based tools in Kubernetes clusters. It’s very powerful stuff and you can do a lot very cheaply with it, including tying packets to processes.
-ldflags '-w' still 1.3 MiB. Growing with each Go release.
And I just came across this one in my feed: https://benhoyt.com/writings/go-version-performance-2024/ At least from 1.17 onwards size is actually growing again. I didn’t measure early enough.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net The several megabytes of Go binaries always feel so wrong. Hello world is 1.8 MiB, with -ldflags '-w' still 1.3 MiB. Growing with each Go release.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de No, at least not that I know of. The closest would be probably the one from the Americans in Stuttgart. No idea whose war machines these were, though.
The mountain is 684 meters above sea level, so this makes for a difference of about 350 meters in 5 kilometers (most direct trip). Plus a little bit up and down here and there, or more, depending on the selected route. But it’s not climbing stairs, so it’s much more pleasant I’d say. Kudos to you! The last section is the actually steep part. Each brown contour line marks an increase of 10 meters. Sure enough, I’m glad when I finally reach the summit and can pause for a breath. :-)
The switch to daylight saving time has really screwed me up this year. I’ve been tired for two weeks now. 😩
@movq@www.uninformativ.de @prologic@twtxt.net I just don’t. But this script looks really interesting.
@prologic@twtxt.net Ohh, nice. I’ve ignored eBPF for too long, so I guess it’s time to take a look. This tool is already very helpful: https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/tools/tcpconnect.py
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I don’t mind the binary size. It’s a taxed odd between size, portability and feature.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de An eBPF logger would do the trick here 👌
QOTD: Hello Linux users, what do you use to monitor your network traffic?
As you can see in most of my screenshots, I have a widget at the top of my screen that shows the current bandwidth usage:
https://movq.de/v/303e1b1cad/a.jpg
But what does that tell me? What do I do when I see a sudden spike and I don’t know where it’s coming from? 🤔 I don’t have an answer for that. I’d like to have something like a summarized log of the recent network activity of all processes.
Something like tcpdump doesn’t help here, because the traffic is often already finished when I notice it.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org The magic of dynamic linking (and C). 😅 It has pros and cons, smaller binary size surely is one of the advantages. Go’s huge binary sizes is something that I’ve never gotten used to. 🫤 (Rust can be a little better at it, but they’re still very large as well.)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org War helicopters? Oof. 😳 Do you have an airbase nearby?
I only realized this now: Although I’m living quite high up in a tower building, your mountain/hill is probably higher, judging by the view that you get. That gives me a whole new appreciation for your hikes, taking the stairs to my appartment can be quite exhausting. 😅
@movq@www.uninformativ.de 50 kB executable sizes, nice! I can’t even recall when I came across one this small. The good old days.
Recordings erase the space around you
Hmm, three war helicopters clattered past today. It was (and still is) very sunny and there’s just a little wind. The 21°C sun on the back felt pleasant. In the forest we encountered two dead mice on the paths, they might have been dropped by birds. https://lyse.isobeef.org/waldspaziergang-2024-04-12/
@shreyan@twtxt.net first you must clearly explain what a monad is.
I am going to make a library to add Monads to Go and call it Gonads
Just a few minutes into my walk I saw a raven chopping up a slow worm in three parts. :-( I rescued the reptile as best as what you can call rescue in that state. Crazy how the the tail and middle part kept on twisting hard for minutes. I didn’t see where the raven went hiding, so I can only hope it did not reattack after the slow worm went its way and I left the scene.
The small forest pond was covered in pollen, looked like a liming truck went by. And the other one with the duck was really oily. Way more than last time. Didn’t look healthy at all. :-(
And, of course, at some point the directory items should be clickable, so you can navigate the tree as usual. That’s much less interesting than delving into threading, though. 😅
After a bug in the Open Watcom OS/2 resource compiler has been fixed (imagine that – they still fix bugs related to OS/2! 🤯💚), I was able to make some more progress with the OS/2 GUI version of my little disk usage tool. It now has a menu bar and a dialog to open another directory:
https://movq.de/v/2ea508ef9a/MVI_7479.MOV.mp4
The video includes the ZMODEM transfer process of the 50 kB .EXE file from my laptop. It’s a bit lengthy, but I kept it in for nostalgia. 😅
Next up is probably multithreading: Do the disk scanning in a background thread so the UI doesn’t freeze. (This is running on a Compact Flash card, a real hard disk would be much slower.)
Windows is such an awful OS nowadays
This is soooo cool! Matthias on some solar panning camera build and eclipse shenanigans, highly recommended: https://youtu.be/YLDaM0FcXC4
@bender@twtxt.net This is true!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de Being lazy is what I did today. :-)
That’s a bitter, but true résumé. I’m pretty sure that I first heard of the Saharan air layer only a few years ago. I would be very surprised if my knowledge is more than a decade old. This could have been a big enough topic to be covered in geography lessons, but it doesn’t ring a bell. Just like with everything, there is always something “new” to learn.
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I did! :-)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org You could be a lazy ass like me and stay at home. 😂 Just kidding, of course. If it’s fun and enjoyable, go for it. 👌
Wow, they already figured it out in 1901. 🤯 I don’t remember having seen this in the last few decades. Goes to show how little we cared about the planet in the past. 🙄
Proof! Irrefutable proof! 😂
(This is silly without copy-and-paste. 🥴)
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org But you saw this
one, didn’t you?
@movq@www.uninformativ.de I didn’t see that reply in your feed. :-)
“Dexter” is back on Netflix in Germany. Yay!
@movq@www.uninformativ.de You’re right, that was silly. But what do you gonna do? I could have picked bike, well.
At least it’s been a thing since July 1997. :-D I wouldn’t be surprised if this goes on for thousands of years. The German Wikipedia article on that matter doesn’t explicitly say anything about the time scale, but reading it my assertion corroborates. There is a recorded event in the year 1901.
The kick is, if you want to borrow money, all interests are super high (10%+). You can’t “borrow to invest ” in a savings account.
@prologic@twtxt.net Goldman Sachs, through Apple, is giving 4.4% on $100K (minimum). Four months rolling CDs in our bank are giving up to 5.10% on $50K, and up. Government treasure bills are around that, some a little less, some a little more.
