What’s your go-to message queue in 2025?

The space is confusing to say the least.

Message queues are usually a core part of any distributed architecture, and the options are endless:
Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis {Pub-Sub, Streams}, Cloud Providers {AWS SQS, Kinesis; Google Pub/Sub; Azure Event Hubs, Service Bus}, Pulsar, ZeroMQ… and then there’s the “just use Postgres” camp for simpler use cases.

[$] DMA addresses for UIO
The Userspace\
I/O (UIO) subsystem was first added to the kernel by
Hans J. Koch for the 2.6.32 release in 2007. Its purpose is to facilitate
the writing of drivers (mostly) in user space; to that end, it provides
access to a number of resources that user-space code normally cannot touch.
One piece that is missing, though, is DMA addresses. [A proposal to\

[$] Tracepoints for the VFS?
Adding tracepoints to some kernel subsystems has been controversial—or

that may be changing. At the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory
Management, and BPF Summit (LSFMM+BPF), Ted Ts’o led a discussion about
whether the ABI concerns are outweighed by the utility of tracepoints for … ⌘ Read more

[$] In search of a stable BPF verifier
BPF is, famously, not part of the kernel’s promises of user-space stability. New
kernels can and do break existing BPF programs; the BPF developers try to
fix unintentional regressions as they happen, but the whole thing can be something of a bumpy
ride for users trying to deploy BPF programs across multiple kernel versions.
Shung-Hsi Yu and Daniel Xu had two different approaches to fixing the problem
that they presented at the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,

[$] Per-CPU memory for user space
The kernel makes extensive use of per-CPU data as a way to avoid contention
between processors and improve scalability. Using the same technique in
user space is harder, though, since there is little control over which CPU
a process may be running on at any given time. That hasn’t stopped Mathieu
Desnoyers from trying, though; in the memory-management track of the 2025
Linux Storage, Filesystem, Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, he presented

Since I’m only interested in the url metadata field for hashing, I do not keep any comments or metadata for that matter, just the messages themselves.

I dumped my new SQLite cache into: https://lyse.isobeef.org/tmp/backup.tar.gz This time maybe even correctly, if you’re lucky. I’m not entirely sure.

[$] Page allocation for address-space isolation
Address-space isolation may well be, as Brendan Jackman said at the
beginning of his memory-management-track session at the 2025 Linux Storage,

bullshit”. But it also holds the potential to protect the kernel from

[$] Improving the merging of anonymous VMAs
The virtual memory area (VMA), represented by struct\
vm_area_struct, is one of the core abstractions of the kernel’s
memory-management subsystem; a VMA represents a portion of a process’s

of anonymous memory. Efficiently managing VMAs and the logic around them

It’s extremely surprising to me that younger non-technical people just type in their full name (properly cased first and last name with a space in between) for a technical username in account registration or login forms. I’ve seen that happening several times in the past few years. The field name is “Benutzername” in German, literally “username”. Even adding a placeholder text to signal that they could simply use their nickname in lowercase did not change anything at all. Well, one person used at least an e-mail address.

This wasn’t the case six, seven years ago, everybody had some “real” username. Even non-techies. It looks like some “common knowledge” is getting lost. Strange. Very weird. It trips me every time I see it.

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz To improve you shell programming skills, I highly recommend to check out shellcheck: https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck It points out common errors and gives some suggestions on how to improve the code. Some details in shell scripting are very tricky to get right at first. Even after decades of shell programming, I run into “corner cases” every now and then.

E.g. in getlyr’s line 7 it warns:

echo -e $(gum style --italic --foreground "#f4b8e4" "'$artist', '$song'")
        ^-- SC2046: Quote this to prevent word splitting.

For more information:
  https://www.shellcheck.net/wiki/SC2046 -- Quote this to prevent word splitt...

Most likely not all that problematic in this application, but it’s good to know about this underlying concept. Word splitting is basically splitting tokens on whitespace, this can lead to interesting consequences as illustrated by this little code:

$ echo $(echo "Hello   World")
Hello World

$ echo "$(echo "Hello   World")" 
Hello   World

In the first case the shells sees two whitespace-separated tokens or arguments for the echo command. This basically becomes echo Hello World. So, echo joins them by a single space. In the second one it sees one argument for the echo command, so echo simply echos this single argument that contains three spaces.

Very glad for Pocket Gopher app. keeping me connected to gopher space!

My bad! My editor was set to use 4 spaces instead of a tab… Making twts by hand is hard =P

@eapl.me@eapl.me here are my replies (somewhat similar to Lyse’s and James’)

1. Metadata in twts: Key=value is too complicated for non-hackers and hard to write by hand. So if there is a need then we should just use #NSFS or the alt-text file in markdown image syntax ![NSFW](url.to/image.jpg) if something is NSFW

2. IDs besides datetime. When you edit a twt then you should preserve the datetime if location-based addressing should have any advantages over content-based addressing. If you change the timestamp the its a new post. Just like any other blog cms.

3. Caching, Yes all good ideas, but that is more a task for the clients not the serving of the twtxt.txt files.

4. Discovery: User-agent for discovery can become better. I’m working on a wrapper script in PHP, so you don’t need to go to Apaches log-files to see who fetches your feed. But for other Gemini and gopher you need to relay on something else. That could be using my webmentions for twtxt suggestion, or simply defining an email metadata field for letting a person know you follow their feed. Interesting read about why WebMetions might be a bad idea. Twtxt being much simple that a full featured IndieWeb sites, then a lot of the concerns does not apply here. But that’s the issue with any open inbox. This is hard to solve without some form of (centralized or community) spam moderation.
