The new ipng.mm.fcix.net MicroMirror node is now live for EPEL, Fedora, and GIMP, already putting it at 125Mbps baseline average traffic on a 1Gbps node.

My design target for MicroMirrors is 10% baseline load on the NIC, so on "kernel CVE days" we have a lot left in the tank for the additional load.

It's incredibly hard to stay below that 10% target. We will continue adding nodes to spread out the traffic until that target is reached.

@kwf Do you have blog post that shows the difference between regular load and kernel CVE days? Seems like it'd be really interesting!

Contest cultures ("constantly prove you belong! Prove you're smart! Everything here is a dog eat dog competition!") tear people down under the guise of "toughness" and "identifying brilliance." In psych, we know this is destructive to long term sustainable work and mastery. We know it's systematically leveled at marginalized folks more.

These beliefs are at the heart of it all. This cannot be what we continue to let define who belongs in technical work and cultures.

@grimalkina Honestly life is too short to waste your time on that bullshit lol

The world is not zero sum, we should pursue excellence, but we do that together instead of against each other, IMO

@Viss I suppose that people that learned don't have the power to change much, and the people that do have power don't care, as they're too busy thinking about how to enrich themselves. 😕

Lots of people have been doing remarkable work to fix the problems (many new tools and the Linux Foundation supports important work) but the challenges are immense

@bagder And how many of them caused them? 🤓

I'm actually kinda curious how often security bugs are introduced via new features vs fixing bugs. I think we could reasonably argue either side?

jawnsy,
@jawnsy@mastodon.social avatar

@bagder Yeah, I think you're right - how we choose to categorize issues can result in different conclusions, and it's not all that useful anyways.

We need both features and bug fixes, and any change can introduce security issues, even if they look innocuous and even if they're fixing another security issue.

Is IRC finally "dead" yet? 🤔

@popey This is because Ubuntu has gotten so great over time that people have fewer questions :)

Devs boasting about pushing to prod on a Friday afternoon isn’t indicative of robust procedures or resilient systems. More likely to indicate an unhealthy work culture.

jawnsy,
@jawnsy@mastodon.social avatar

@anderseknert I both think that people should feel comfortable doing a Friday afternoon release, due to the safeguards in place (canary deployments, progressive rollouts, automated testing, ability to revert, frequent releases/small number of changes), but also, I don't think they should 🤷‍♂️

Back to regular food tooting.

I met Nancy, whose family runs a Vietnamese Teochew noodle shop in my neighborhood.

I was like 'Help me settle a discussion. How long does it take for you to make the soup you serve at your restaurant?"

She did the math in her head and said, "18 hours"

Followed quickly by.. "I wouldn't drink soup that cooks for a shorter time than that"

(And this is why I love making 18 hour soups and am suspicious of soup styles that take a shorter amount of time, heh)

The value of OSS today?

"from $1.22 billion to $6.22 billion if we were to decide as a society to recreate all widely used OSS on the supply side"

"from $2.59 trillion to $13.18 trillion, if each firm who used an OSS package had to recreate it from scratch"

"5% of programmers are responsible for more than 90% of the value created on the supply- and demand- side"

The report: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4693148

@bagder If companies had to recreate tools like curl, we would just end up with lots of inferior tools and we'd be miserable. That such tools exist and are open source have really powered user happiness in a way that doesn't seem possible otherwise.

Thanks for your hard work over the many years!

It should be noted that all the coding greybeards never listened to career advice.

There simply was no career in coding and no one outside knew what it was anyway.

If you like doing something, just keep on doing and become better at it!💁🏻‍♂️

jawnsy,
@jawnsy@mastodon.social avatar

@bagder I have no need for this right now but I'm tempted to watch this because I'm curious about where else we can embed libcurl... Judging by its prevalence I'm sure it's easy to embed, so now I'm wondering about weird stuff I can do with it (and it's open source, so you can't stop me, muahahaha)

jawnsy,
@jawnsy@mastodon.social avatar

@bagder I'm also very interested in the techniques you used to make libcurl so easy to work with - good docs, API design, etc.

Knowing what you know now, what are some of the tips and tricks you'd give to someone trying to build an easily embeddable library or SDK? Both general advice and also anything specific to C

Great to see more of the crowd now on Mastodon! I’m already seeing way more activity around than I did last year, and the conference doesnt even start until next week. I hope the trend continues. Would be good to see an official account here though!

Met with an ex-colleague recently who told me he’s relying more and more on co-pilot for coding at work. Not just “autocomplete” but the chat where you tell it what you want and it can write hundreds of LOC from that. Not for me but to each their own. But what really stuck with me is how he told me how he’d been asked to explain something in a PR he submitted and… he couldn’t. He had no idea what the code “he” had written did in that location. What the actual fuck. I’d die there and then.

@anderseknert It's a good idea to use someone else's name in commits for this reason. Sorry if you get emails asking about bugs in my code, Anders 😝
