What I'm listening to today: "To Day Interval", Autechre

One of two remixes Æ did of "Ten Day Interval" by math-rock/post-rock/progressive-jazz group Tortoise. The other remix is straightforward if Autechre-y but *this* one, this one's a minimal obsessive dissection of a single piano track and I love it—one of my fav points in Æ's whole discography. It's like a meditation, emptying your mind except for a single image which you focus on until you understand it Completely

Flashback to last year when Sprockles decided to squish his cube. Once he even tried to squish it while the Lord Mayor ChunChun was in it!

Oops, 16 people on the waitlist for first and I snagged the last seat. Neener neener.

Also getting home 2h early. So yay.

One of the funny things to me about the way we use languages with coroutines (or "async" if you're nasty) is that we set up the coroutines and then... Immediately await on them.

It's like... We're halfway there. So close. So close to actually taking advantage of concurrent programming. And yes, letting the event loop get in there instead of blocking hard on a main thread is a good thing and a strict improvement in circumstances where it matters.

But I do think sometimes about all the code I've seen where there are three network requests to three separate services that are totally independent of each other and the code is just... Eating the cost of "fully resolve request 1, fully resolve request 2, fully resolve request 3." I do wonder, sometimes, how many people think of these tools as concurrency and not just "the magic pixie-dust syntax I have to use to make half my functions the right color to be called from my other functions."

This is a well-written #FOSDEM presentation about #Nubo cloud from France: https://archive.fosdem.org/2025/events/attachments/fosdem-2025-6234-nubo-the-french-government-sovereign-cloud/slides/238670/fosdem_sxFXcPL.pdf

I've been doing some tests of Valgrind on OmniOS. Mostly looking good.

One thing that I've seen is that there are some gaps in the virtualisation of /proc.

For instance, if you call open[at]() or readlink[at]() on /proc/pid/object/a.out without any virtualisation that would work on e.g. memcheck-amd64-solaris rather than the guest executable. In the open/readlink syscall wrappers we have to check the path and if it is a special procfs path then switch it to use the path to the guest exe.

Been a little busy with work / family life, but finally got around to pushing out some very minor updates to the wruby project.

Also wrote about building wruby through #sourcehut builds + hosting with pages:

With me, staying at home for Saturday and Sunday, there has to be some alternative plan created so that I will use the time as useful as possible.

I think we'll make some progress in the italian textbook, I will most likely end my Gentoo adventure and reinstall the laptop for something else and setup it for 24/7 access over ssh.

I was also checking if and how I could setup some virtual hosted server and learn new things on the real machine with some nice domain 🙂 Ideas?

#Phishing

With #HolosDiscover we checked multiple criteria before indexing: "indexable" enabled, account not locked, no #nobot or #noindex in bio, not in opted-out list, only public posts. Every deletion, edit or block was processed instantly via #ActivityPub.
Google uses that same "indexable" flag but ignores everything else, keeps deleted content cached for weeks.
We shut it down after pushback. Was that the right call? Don't hesitate to share, this concerns the whole Fediverse.
