@bender Okay 👌

@lyse easy to solve. All he has to do is apply a thick lacquer layer. Lovely table!

Great! Write a post about it, and twelve into details, providing graphs, or stats on how disk "I/O can kill your application(s) no matter what”.

I disabled the compression of logs on my edge, which I'm hoping will fix the "instability" I see every now and again where my edge network just "falls off the face of the earth". Some folks don't really appreciate / understand this, but Disk I/O can kill your application(s) no matter what. I/O Wait is a real thing.

@xuu Haha 🤣 I'm already have "conversations" with my junior engineers on "how to best use" and "how to avoid" 😂

@arne Yeah SSE + HTMX is basically all you need really. The whole complicated/complex JavaScript ecosystem is overkill.

@bender No I did 🤣

@prologic I don’t think you understood what I wrote. 😅

@bender Is dealing with spam fun though? DDoS attacks? DoS attacks? Scans for all kinds of stupid shit™? Malware? Advertising? Tracking? Spying? ..

Intranets have been around since Jesus times (well, not quite 😂, but you get the idea). They are fun to play with, but that's about it. I mean, the "fun" of the Internet comes from its variety.

@movq I wouldn't consider this a "dark web", no. It'd just be a new web on top of an already existing "physical" infrastructure, where the web that grew out of that is total garbage.

🤔 💭 🧐 What if, What if we built our own self-hosted / small-web / community-built/run Internet on top of the Internet using Wireguard as the underlying tech? What if we ran our own Root DNS servers? What if we set a zero tolerance policy on bots, spammers and other kind of abuse that should never have existed in the first place. Hmmmm

@movq Oh dear 😅 We're starting to see this "garbage software" too over here 👈

@thecanine I am not arguing you didn't do the right thing™, and even if the impact is minimal, or nothing, you did what you thought was right (and I agree). I don't agree with certain rules the EU wants to impose, not in this particular case. There are rotten potatoes everywhere, and I don't get fooled by the EU often sacrosanct behaviour.

But who am I to say anything, right? Look at the grotesque clown utterly shit show we live with on this side!

@thecanine alright, a canned reply. Better than nothing! (or equal to nothing, LOL).

@movq I am betting he will not. The letter was not focused, nor used, politician's "lingo". If it was sent via email then it will be even easier to dismiss. I wish I was not such a cynic! 😩

@bender So far so good 😊 I'll let you know how things go though!

@prologic is iMessages iCloud synchronization disabled? Applications might stop working, and functionality rendered worthless the more you block.

I keep getting this email occadionally:

Your iCloud storage is almost full

Now for various reasons, I don't want my children to be using iCloud to store data, files, photos or any of the sort. They're free to use iMessages, and other Apple services like the App Store, etc, but not storage.

So I've set about blocking iCloud Storage API(s) via AdGuard Home tonight as well as ensuring that my local network (client users) cannot bypass DNS policies and get out other sneaky ways, because some applications will just use other DNS servers, or DOH or DOT.

@important_dev_news Fuxk me decision makers are fuxking stupid sometimes 🤣

The people that design these bills and laws are unhinged.

@movq Good glad to hear it 😄

@movq Where do you stand on this nonsense? 🧐😆🤣

@klaxzy Fuxk yeah 🙌

@important_dev_news Thank fuxk 🤣

@movq how do you set your clock to use a specific time signal radio station? I have one wall clock in my office, it works great, but no way to set that.

@lyse Cool! 😎 You might be interested in my own learnings and toying around with building my own container engine / tooling (whatever you wanna call it) box. I had to learn a bunch of this stuff too 😅 Control Groups, Namespaces, Process Isolation, etc.

@bender See the problem is you don't live in the "busy" enough 😂 There are roaches everywhere here! 🤣 LOL snakes too! Plovers, Magpies, Crows, Spiders, even Deer for fucks sake 😂

@prologic I wouldn't know where to look for little cockroaches, or roaches, in general! LOL. We buy seeds to feed them. But not around the neighborhood, otherwise we would have a problem. 😅

@bender We have quite a few that are basically part of our friendly neighborhood. They knew we won't chase them aware, scare them, etc. In fact some of us find little cockroaches to feed them, tose 'em up in the air and watch them sweep in and grab the little suckers 🤣

@bender Dunno 🤷

@prologic something happened on this one’s neck, right? Or was it a blow of wind that ruffled the feathers?

Now I feel the urge to go around looking for one of “my own” to share. 😅 I love crows, ravens, magpies, all of them in the corvidae family.

@lyse Here's my magpie 🤣

This ☝️

@movq damn! those are some fine looking chickens 😆

@zvava feeds are fetched at least every 5m (if they've changed)

@prologic woohoo! Take that, micro.crap! :-D

And my new migrated blog is up woohoo 🥳 https://prologic.blog/

@movq exactly! 🤣

That Manton guy is so incredible dull, not even funny: https://www.manton.org/2025/10/03/apparently-there-was-some-drama.html

They look the same to the naked eye. Of course, I checked your raw feed, and saw only one.

@itsericwoodward hmmm, what was this, an edit, a deletion?

@movq can't you use generic drivers? I did that for an enterprise copier/printer/scanner we used to have at work, and it worked just fine!

Of course, all things optional is fine. Like, it will be ignored (just like banner would) for clients having no knowledge of it.

@zvava agreed. I think display_name will be redundant, and add to the "busy" factor. That is, the opposite of simplicity.

@lyse Bahahahaha 🤣😆

@thecanine content warning please! I had to go home and change, if you catch my drift. LOL. Well done!

@aelaraji, I mean to follow up here on the brief exchange we had on irc.mills.io, but I forgot. Never too late, so here it goes:

18:16 <aelaraji> quark 🙏 much appreciated but it won't be necessary, since there isn't much to miss out on in most of  where I hang out, so I could just disconnect and spare everyone else the noise 
18:17 *** aelaraji (aelaraji@776014f5a3edd32f1ed19658b7b85c8c655945b0feacaedd92fe60e61a3c0ae2) has quit (/ME goes "yeeeeet..!")
18:18 <quark> No noise for me. 
18:18 <quark> It’s all good. 
18:18 <quark> What would IRC be without on/offs?
18:19 <quark> Preeeety boring!
18:19 <quark> Ah, he was gone. 
18:19 <quark> Well, I will twtxt this to him.  LOL.
