Good news everyone!

My portolio tracking tool just informed me that the Vanguard FTSE All World has reached a new all time high on Sep 8, ending the 612 day drawdown that started Jan 04 last year.

ACWI IMI draw down ended on Sep 06 alrady, so it was only 610 days.

(valuation in EUR, net return index for the ACWI IMI).

Changing currency to USD:

VG FTSE AW 2021-11-16 to 2023-09-06

MSCI ACWI IMI NR 2021-11-16 to 2023-09-08

tl;dr: The depression is over, capitalism hasd recovered.

I want kind of to build myself a new home router, with of course Coreboot, Linux/BSD and 4 GBitE ports. I need to put 2 APs and my home server on it.

But I also need to have 802.3 PoE, the small one, on two ports. Separate injector is stupid.

Can't use ; for in Python's -c argument, so you end up with abusing lists to do stuff, e.g

[print(foo) for foo in sys.stdin if bar(foo)]

or functional example:

import re, sys; list(map(sys.stdout.write, filter(re.compile(r"zsys$").search, sys.stdin)))

Really list just executes the iterator generated by map

Ah Chrome, the wonderful web browser that locks up for 5s or so every minute. I hate it.

Ah yes I almost forgot but still managed to offset the flights FRA<->RIX from November.

Well offset with 2x leverage I suppose.

Someone is operating fuel powered leaf blowers, but it's in the quiet hours of 13:00-15:00; you are only allowed to operate them from 9-13 and 15-17 (15-19? I don't know), so I better call the authorities to fine them, but I don't know who they are and the authorities may not get here on time to catch them committing the offence.

This is very annoying!

Actors and writers on strike in Hollywood creates lucrative opportunities for actors and writers in the UK, not to mention all the hip Asian dramas.

If studios and the streaming services diversify their portfolio over the world, and the unions don't globalize, they'll eventually lose.

Why has my REWE imported Mexican Coke, nectars and various US cokes and dr peppers? Silly people.

DuckDuckGo is sometimes just really terrible at searching, just ignoring words and hence not finding relevant results.

Let's maybe stop all this night train nonsense and focus on actually getting more than half the trains on time?

I really like the concept of watch literals in current sat solvers but I am worried to some extent if I can achieve the same ordering constraints I currently have with the priority queue of unresolved dependencies (clauses).

In a 2 watched literals solver, backtracking is free. In solver3 it is somewhat unreasonably expensive.

A Sage Bambino is troublesome as an espresso machine but it works quite well to quickly make some tea or steam yourself up a cup of cocoa with the hot water/steam valve.

Should I buy their dual boiler though? It's like 630€ refurbished, 1100-1200€ new.

Debian unstable, welcome to the APT 3.0 development series.

Ugh if I extract common dependencies from multiple package versions up into a package object then I can also just record that I need to install one of those versions and defer the decision to as late as possible.

So I had to give my home assistant container access to my dbus socket using

Volume=/run/dbus:/run/dbus:ro,z

and now /run/dbus/system_bus_socket
has system_u:object_r:container_file_t:s0 context and connections on the host fail.

How do I make both things work?

Or should I try to setup a fake dbus system bus, that I put just bluez on and then forward that into the container?

So I keep my solver state as a vector<State> indexed by APT version IDs, where each State as a "depth" field describing how many choices deep we are in the solving process, so when backtracking, I have to

depth--
for (State & state : states) {
if (state.depth > depth)
state = State {};
}

which is slow, but of course I don't want to back track anyhow?

One thing I haven't talked about is telemetry. I want to add some telemetry to apt('s solver).

In order to evaluate the solver I want apt to solve the request with the new solver and the old solver and if it's different, send the request to a server for analysis.

I don't know what people think about this. Ubuntu has telemetry servers, debian does too (popcorn), maybe we can leverage the opt-in and infra?

OK so we

1. build the set of packages we want to be installed (needs)
2. find all dependencies not yet in needs = work

Now we iterate until work is empty:

• Pop of any unsat dependencies with one solution, add them to needs, and add their dependencies to work

• When we have more solutions, we need to branch and try the solutions in order of preference
