#Gentoo #jobserver revealed another problem with steve in particular, and (I believe) the jobserver protocol in general: blocking clients are prioritized over polling clients.
The problem is simple: when handling blocking reads, steve can issue a job token immediately. When handling a poll, it merely indicates that a token is available, and the client must issue another read request to get it. So if tokens are scarce and there are both blocking and polling clients running, the former are likely to be taking all the incoming tokens.
My idea of working around this is to implement temporary reservations. If a client polls for a token, we reserve one for it. The reserved token can afterwards be only read by the same client. This way, both blocking and polling clients get a token — the former get it immediately, the latter get it reserved for them. And if there are no tokens available, both get into a single FIFO queue, for a poor man's round-robin (steve also throttles all reads to one token at a time).
However, polls technically don't guarantee that the client will eventually read the token, so we need to handle reservation expirations as well.

Edit: thanks to @…, figured out the Musicolet button(s) to turn off auto-repeat on full albums. It's because they call them queues.

#funkwhale is weird... 😅
It's running, but in addition to the network storage problem that I still need to solve, it shows a strange quirk:
When I click on a song in the webUI, it only plays 2-3 seconds of it and then stops. If there are more songs in the queue, it plays the rest of them properly. If I skip to the first song again via the "previous" button, it plays it comp…

Google and Apple doing some interesting work to improve the safety of C software, and the results speak for themselves: "The baseline segmentation fault rate across the production fleet dropped by approximately 30 percent"

🎜 When's the chorus? You may well ask. I'm sure it's long overdue.
🎝 Don't hold your breath. Hmm: 42 poudriere jobs ahead in the queue.
🎜 It's all good, I'll just skip the chorus. Build my own stuff from ports.
🎝 So, what's up next? What's new? I dunno. Oh, right! pkgbase, of course.

‘It’s ridiculous’: publicans bemused by rise of single-file queues to get served
Bar owners say they struggle to dissuade people from forming a line as behavioural experts point to post-pandemic ‘new norms’

You know that guy who submits the 5000-line diffs for review and says "don't worry, it's fine"?
I ran into one of those today at work.
I "returned to queue" five such Christmas Eve diffs from him. I marked each, with increasing directness, with "make this a series of changes that I can understand"
Then it turns out he's gone off on PTO and probably won't be coming back. Gah.

The self-order screens in Shake Shack require you to read the full Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy. But the people behind me in the queue got unreasonably annoyed at me for trying, so I chose to cancel and go elsewhere.

Who’s ready for Xmas!?
