I'll just put this here for the #record in case anyone wants to #question me about it later.

I #donated with #BitCoin back in January to #AnnasArchive and now the site's knocked #offline literally.

I paid like C$120.00 for the online form of the #project just to disappear.

Yeah ok #wikipedia has them moving #domains every other day but it was a lot more stable than that before I gave them a leg up.

This is why I hate centralized #websites and hosting.

This is why #self #hosting works by connecting #dedicated #servers to the #internet as a whole.

If you use anything less, you will face more #legal challenges hosting #human #knowledge and unfortunately, it is as #simple as that.

You cannot convince me that #BigTech is not turning into #authorized #tech as it seems as though the #copyright #industry and the #torent industry has eluded to colluding with one another to obtain #rights for.

Guys, I don't know what to say anymore. I'm a huge fan of #books and #media and #free #open #source #software and I long for the day that the #government doesn't need to get a cut of everything I #download or #upload anywhere, especially for #personal #use over all.

Please do whatever you can to fight #statistical #bottlenecks where ever they appear. I want humanity to have better access to #education and #intelligence built by real people in a fair and consistent manner.

I always am striving and trying my best to be a better #human being.

Ah, the riveting saga of std:shared_mutex in C++17—a tale as thrilling as watching paint dry 🖌️! Dive into the labyrinthine world of #mutex #bottlenecks and #cache #concerns, because nothing screams fun like counting operations in a "more realistic" example. 🕸️ For a real adventure, stay tuned for the exhilarating sequel: "Reading Compiler Error Messages for Fun and Profit!" 🤓💥

Understanding std::shared_mutex from C++17

In this article, we’ll start with a basic example using std::mutex, look at its limitations, and then introduce std::shared_mutex, a reader-writer mutex added in C++17. Even in 2026, with many new concurrency features available, std::shared_mutex is still a valuable and practical tool. Let’s jump in. A Simple Thread-Safe Counter with std::mutex   We’ll begin with a small example (a standard “hello world” for this type of mutexes): a counter object that multiple threads can access:

Every system has a constraint. It's the step that limits how fast work can flow through.

Don't optimise anything else until you've addressed it. Everything else is just moving the queue around.

Ask: Where does work pile up? That's where to focus.

Uncovering Disk I/O Bottlenecks in GitHub Actions

When your CI pipelines are slow, you can only optimize so much. Bottlenecks in CPU, Network, Memory, and Disk I/O can all contribute to slow CI pipelines. Let's take a look at how disk I/O can be a bottleneck in GitHub Actions.

There are significant bottlenecks in the wind industry, such as insufficient supplies of equipment, a lack of electric grid capacity and permitting issues."
