“With the increased limit of the acceptance queue, and a patched version of wrk, we can now conclude that swift is a good competitor speed-wise as a web application server.

Memory wise it blows all the other technologies away, using only 2.5% of the amount of memory that the java implementation needs, and 10% of node-js.”

thermostat controlling the boiler for heating here over RF: broke a week or two ago

flipper zero that i've been using to manually enable the boiler instead: also broke somehow

me: freezing to hell and beyond due to it being 5°C outside and not having anything warm

my headmate: spends four hours putting together this incredibly normal setup using her beaglebone and a radio carrier module she designed a year ago. she even got the RF modulation parameters right on the first try, wtf

Dinosaurs, being closely related to birds, were almost certainly cloacal (soft tissues don't fossilize well) and used the ZW sex-determinant chromosome system, not XY.

Someone needs to tell the incels that T. Rex was 100% into teh buttsex and didn't have a cock.

Einfach per Webcam den Personalausweis präsentieren – das -Verfahren soll Zeit sparen, lässt sich aber austricksen, wie der 2022 demonstrierte. In Wiesbaden kann man seit einem halben Jahr per Videoident den neuen Wohnsitz an- und ummelden. Fachleute warnen vor den Gefahren. @netzpolitik_feed

How do so many people still have DECT phones for #EMFcamp?

I've searched through all my junk drawers, in the loft, and in the Big Crates Of Useful Things - but I can only find old GSM phones.

I don't even think I have anything with a BS 6312 431A plug 😮‍💨

🆕 blog! “Gell-Mann Amnesia and Purdah”

This is a retropost. Written contemporaneously, but published long after the events. At the time, I was a Civil Servant in Cabinet Office. Now I am not.
