A common problem with running Gentoo builds is concurrency. Many packages include extensive build steps that are either fully serial, or cannot fully utilize the available CPU threads throughout. This problem becomes less pronounced when running building multiple packages in parallel, but then we are risking overscheduling for packages that do take advantage of parallel builds.
Fortunately, there are a few tools at our disposal that can improve the situation. Most recently, they were joined by two experimental system-wide jobservers: #guildmaster and #steve. In this post, I’d like to provide the background on them, and discuss the problems they are facing.

By post, it's mostly web rather than Phanpy.
Suspect it's mostly replies over stand-alone only because of threads here really. Most of a thread counts as a reply because it's a reply-to-self.
I mostly use the web interface for new posts rather than the phanpy one because I can't type an emoji in Phanpy. Only instance custom-emojis can be typed starting with a colon and I usually want 😄 or 😉 or 🙄 not the custom emojii. Can't type them on Phanpy. So I mostly compose on web.
Maybe the Phanpy dev has some kind of emoji plugin or something? Dunno why he makes it only do the custom ones.
But this is why I mostly post from web even though I almost entirely read from Phanphy. Which means replies mostly come from Phanpy but standalone mostly from Web.

Day 24: Yvonne Adhiambra Owuor
Owuor wrote "Dust", a novel that follows a scattered family's struggles with intergenerational trauma through a vivid tapestry of Kenyan history. Not only is it full of carefully rendered complex characters who both deal with their own issues and who are entangled in larger threads, but it also depicts a series of deeply personal reactions to and interactions with historical moments that give a gestalt sense of the painful history of Kenya both during and after the colonial era.
It's a gripping read despite not having a traditional suspense structure, where in the last third of the book every chapter seems to be tying up one more loose thread you had almost forgotten about, only to leave a little more still to discover, right up to the end. Owuor's skill at constructing such a detailed and complex plot and especially in navigating it to a satisfying conclusion is impressive, and her depictions of human foibles and struggles in the face of grief and not-wanting-to-know are relatable.
