Something new Claude Code taught me today:
GNU xargs raises its parallelism by one each time it receives SIGUSR1, so the running batch can be sped up without restarting it. Please run this:! for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do pkill -USR1 -x xargs; sleep 0.2; done
Hooray, today is the 25th anniversary of my weblog!
So much for my kimchi project this week: the bugs got to my cabbage before I did. #farmersmarket
My sympathies to anyone managing a PHP server today.
TIL Plex server has no auto-update on Linux. Windows and Mac do, but Linux expects you to run updates yourself with the operating system updater. That's not unreasonable but it explains why there's so many Plex servers getting pwned right now.

One thing I've learned from Claude: rsync --itemize-changes That gets rsync to print out little character codes for the changes it makes, one per file. I find it inscrutable but Claude uses it to understand what changed.
Here's a sync that updates the directory mtime and sends the file style.css with a different size and mtime.
.d..t...... ./
