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…

At least 80% of the world lives under light-polluted skies
—a figure that rises to 99% in America and Europe.
A paper published in Science found that between 2011 and 2022 the night sky grew almost 10% brighter each year.
With so many places awash with artificial light, people are increasingly seeking out the darkness.

In 2022 I installed my archive copy of 1Password 4.1 on a new machine. It would not honor my 2016 license key (1Password killed its license server killed when it went SaaS).
1Password support tried very hard to move me to the SaaS model (3 free years!), but I repeatedly declined.
I eventually got 1Password support to give me an _older_ version that didn’t talk to a license server.
And I feel much better about standing firm now that 1Password has gone full fash.

Macht uns KI dumm ?
Ende 2022 drängte sich ChatGPT in unser Leben und hat es schnell tiefgreifend verändert. Vielleicht werden künftige Geschichtsbücher die generative KI einmal mit der Erfindung des Buchdrucks vergleichen. Der Begriff „Künstliche Intelligenz“ ist laut der Philosophin Anne Alombert irreführend, denn er vergleicht uns mit Maschinen und entpolitisiert die Debatte. […]

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?

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…

An wie vielen Tagen im Jahr ich überhaupt aufs Rad steige:
2020: 20 %
2022: 64 %
2023: 88 %
2024: 99 %
2025: 97 %
2026: 100 %
Das ist der Wandel, der mir selbst am wenigsten aufgefallen ist. Nicht weiter, nicht schneller. Nur keine Lücken mehr.
Irgendwann hat es aufgehört, eine Entscheidung zu sein.

I think those of us who lived the heartbreak of Argentina's team since 2006 (and even before if you are older) would have signed with our blood for a championship in 2022 and a final in 2026 so no, it's not a failure by any means.
I never liked Scaloni's way of setting up the team, and while Spain are the deserving champions, I know we could have done a better match against them.
Anyways, it was an amazing ride, and I can't wait to do it again.
GRACIAS
