@penguin42 The Raspberry Pi hosting option is intriguing. I wonder if there is something ARM/Pi-specific that attracts people or maybe because it's a cheap way to get 4 cores.https://www.mythic-beasts.com/order/rpi

@penguin42 The price of loans should depend on the performance of the borrower, not of the defunct lender. If you offer pennies then someone else will bid more because they know they'll get back the whole dollar from you.If you had the foresight to be behind in repayments and have a terrible credit score then maybe you can get a good discount π .

@penguin42 The kernel function graph tracer is good for those. In userspace rr or perf's Intel Processor Trace can probably be used to figure out where things went wrong.

@penguin42 @zir @slp All my best work is under 'a', but sometimes I also use 'b'.

From the systemd 255 release notes:A new "systemd-vmspawn" tool has been added that provides for VMs the same interfaces and functionality that systemd-nspawn provides for containers. The systemd-vmspawn tool uses QEMU as its back-endhttps://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-vmspawn.html

@penguin42 0x1234 vs *0x1234 always confuses me in gdb. By the time you use it again you've forgotten the right syntax.

At the end of 2023 the QEMU AioContext lock was removed after a multi-person multi-year effort. I wrote about the history of QEMU's threading model and how the AioContext lock was removed here:https://blog.vmsplice.net/2024/01/qemu-aiocontext-removal-and-how-it-was.html

@penguin42 NVMe supports much more than local flash storage nowadays. The spec has key-value storage support, fabrics support, etc and more things like computational storage are in the works.Adding rotational support creates a unified NVMe stack so you don't need to additionally implement SCSI or another protocol.

@pro @penguin42 I agree, general purpose computers can't drop SCSI today. Mobile devices using UFS also need SCSI.Regarding USB, I wonder if external disks will directly use NVMe PCIe over USB4 eventually?
