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…

Reasons to ditch LastPass.

Jeremi M Gosney :verified: (@epixoip@infosec.exchange)
I recently wrote a post detailing the recent #LastPass breach from a #password cracker's perspective, and for the most part it was well-received and widely boosted. However, a good number of people questioned why I recommend ditching LastPass and expressed concern with me recommending people jump ship simply because they suffered a breach. Even more are questioning why I recommend #Bitwarden and #1Password, what advantages they hold over LastPass, and why would I dare recommend yet another clou…

Balkendiagramm zur monatlichen Anzahl der errichteten Balkonkraftwerke in Deutschland von 2018 bis 31.08.2026. Seit Mitte 2022 ist ein starker Anstieg zu erkennen, mit Spitzenwerten von über 60.000 Neuanlagen pro Monat im Jahr 2024. Der Zubau fällt 2025 etwas ab, bleibt aber auf hohem Niveau.

Häufungspunkte-Diagramm der Bruttoleistung von Balkonkraftwerken in Deutschland. Das Diagramm zeigt die zeitliche Verteilung der Bruttoleistung (kWp) für über eine Million Anlagen – die meisten liegen unter 2 kWp, konzentriert ab 2022. Inbetriebnahmedaten von 1900–2017 wurden durch das Registrierungsdatum ersetzt. Anlagen mit Status „in Planung“ und Wechselrichter > 800 VA wurden ausgefiltert. Die Sonderregelungen des EEG für Steckersolargeräte aus dem „Solarpaket“ gelten seit dem 16. Mai 2024 …

I am finally running some Mastodon admin / mainteanence commands that I have not run *ever* since starting the server in 2022.
Perhaps we can bring that storage bill down a little, a single user instance probably shouldn't need 20 GB for DB and ~700 GB for attachments xD

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…

3 years ago, I replaced the bottom bracket bearing for the bike I use at Burning Man after it self-destructed from rust in 2022. I bought one that claims to be waterproof, but prepping this year, I noticed the pedals weren't moving nicely, so took it apart and the new bearing is rusted.
Maybe it is waterproof? Definitely not dust proof. Most of what was in there was the lithium grease now turned into paste with playa dust.
So this time, I'm trying enclosed bearings. Maybe…

I've read the Sprawl Trilogy several times and watched the Blade Runner movies several times too. And I love them.
Yet, it's hard to be excited about these two projects because they are being produced as series by the usual culprits.
