Shelves, reading activity etc
Looking through our Issues log, one of the most consistent sources of both confusion and frustration seems to be both the user interface and the mental model for the related concepts of shelves and readthroughs.@Mouse has had a draft PR for this since 2022. We all seem to agree in principle that the current arrangement needs to be fixed, but whilst I personally agree with the gist of Mouse's proposal there (deprecate default/functional shelves completely and use ReadThroughs to hold all reading…

If Multicast is the Answer -- What was the Question?
Multicast is (almost) as old as the Internet, having become a tool for increasing network efficiency but also enabling destination discovery in a number of key use cases, although misaligned economic interests have limited its deployment to domain-local usages. But recent advances in multicast technologies as well as the identification of new use cases for which IP multicast may be ill fitted yet network-level support may be desirable motivate to re-think old perceptions of multicast and its us…

Weil ich gerade sehr merkwürdige Follower kriege und es ja wohl auch eine Schwemme an (schlafenden) Fake-Accounts gibt:
Accounts ohne Bio und ohne irgendwelche Beiträge, anhand derer ich erkennen kann, dass es sich um eine echte interessierte Person handelt, entferne ich.
Bei Gelegenheit werde ich diesen Sommer in den Ferien auch mal aufräumen und inaktive Accounts rauswerfen.
Manche sind nach 2022/23 ganz offensichtlich einfach weitergezogen.

23-time Grand Slam champion
Serina Williams will be the most anticipated factor in the women’s draw
as she makes her return to Wimbledon as a
44-year-old wildcard.
Williams last played competitive singles at the 2022 U.S. Open, when she lost to Ajla Tomljanović in the third round, and said she was “evolving” away from tennis.
When she takes the court at Wimbledon,
which runs June 29-July 12,
it will have been over 1,400 days since she last competed i…

Happy 5th birthday to #Wordle!
According to Wordle’s stats, I’ve played 1601 times. And because I first started playing on 5 January 2022, I missed playing 26 times.

These are tricky times for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The “special military operation” he launched against Ukraine in 2022,
intended to last a few days until a puppet regime in Kyiv could be installed,
has now gone on longer than both the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany and all of World War I.
His forces have long ceased making significant gains on the battlefield;
some data even suggest that Russian forces lost territory in April and May.
What …

As the Tide Turns Against Putin, Beware the Drowning Man
Like a struggling swimmer, he may take desperate measures to stay afloat.

VBR: version based reclamation.

VBR: Version Based Reclamation
Safe lock-free memory reclamation is a difficult problem. Existing solutions follow three basic methods (or their combinations): epoch based reclamation, hazard pointers, and optimistic reclamation. Epoch-based methods are fast, but do not guarantee lock-freedom. Hazard pointer solutions are lock-free but typically do not provide high performance. Optimistic methods are lock-free and fast, but previous optimistic methods did not go all the way. While reads were executed optimistically, writes w…
