[$] Using large folios for text areas
Quite a bit of work has been done in recent years to allow the kernel to
make more use of large folios. That progress has not yet reached the
handling of text (executable code) areas, though. During the
memory-management track of the 2025 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management, and BPF Summit, Ryan Roberts ran a session on how that
situation might be improved. It would be a relatively small and contained
operation, but can give a measurable performance improvement. ⌘ Read more

[$] 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
a proposal for how user-space per-CPU memory could work. ⌘ Read more

📣 I’m going to try and restore a few accounts tonight 🤞

@bender@twtxt.net i had to go to your instance to see the root post because I ACCIDENTALLY MUTED THE THREAD LMFAOOOOO but interesting re: unfollowing!

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I think it happens if you don’t follow them. Replies used to be broken if so, but not sure if @prologic@twtxt.net ever fixed that. I used not to follow him, so that he would see the broken mentions, and feel shame (he didn’t, he is shameless! LOL), but ever since the re-creation of my account I just decided to follow, so I don’t know if the issue is fixed or not.

I know mentioning @xuu@txt.sour.isdoesnm.p.psf.lt was broken too. Maybe still is? We’ll see.

i wonder why my replies to people and sometimes myself come out as @@example.com where the first

Adding to this, we already tried. It didn’t go too well. Slightly related—because it is a third party “integration”—I might be a “smaller group” member, but I don’t care much about one-way feeds (mostly RSS from blogs, news articles, etc.) either.

I am not interested at all. If I want to interact/socialise/whatever on the Fediverse (which I do), I simply use it. I would like to keep twtxt separate.

Sometimes, we spend months stuck in inertia, distracted by screens and routine. So I’d like to give you a simple reminder: creating-in whatever form-is what makes you feel alive.

The beauty of working on projects is not in their ‘success’, but in the simple act of working on them. Whether it’s writing, cooking, programming or redecorating the house: play with ideas without pressure, engage in an activity to test, fail and discover without judgement.

In the end, what remains is not a perfect product, but the satisfaction of completion and valuable lessons.

Find a project, no matter how small, and let it take you without expectations.

Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurer

Then I cleaned up my shell history of all of the invocations I ever made of dkv rm ... to make sure I never ever have this so easily accessible in my shell history (^R):

$ awk '
  /^#/ { ts = $0; next }
  /^dkv rm/ { next }
  { if (ts) print ts; ts=""; print }
' ~/.bash_history > ~/.bash_history.tmp && mv ~/.bash_history.tmp ~/.bash_history && history -r

So I re-write this shell alias that I used all the time alias dkv="docker rm" to be a much safer shell function:

dkv() {
  if [[ "$1" == "rm" && -n "$2" ]]; then
    read -r -p "Are you sure you want to delete volume '$2'? [Y/n] " confirm
    confirm=${confirm:-Y}
    if [[ "$confirm" =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then

      # Delete the volume
      docker volume rm "$2"

      # Re-enable history
      set -o history
