Classic enterprise: we saved money by moving from on-premise to Cloud.

> On November 28th, 2012, Randall Munroe published an xkcd comic that was a calendar in which the size of each date was proportional to how often each date is referenced by its ordinal name (…) "In months other than September, the 11th is mentioned substantially less often than any other date. It's been that way since long before 9/11 and I have no idea why." After digging into the raw data, I believe I have figured out why.

So, on average, poll respondents guessed that a Netflix Open Connect server uses ~2.3W per simultaneous user. Based on some real user feedback & https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/appliances/#the-hardware, the number is probably closer to 20mW. It could even be a lot lower. So the right answer is definitely "<0.5W"!

Deep Down the Rabbit Hole: Bash, OverlayFS, and a 30-Year-Old Surprise

This blog post describes a recent debugging session that led through a surprising set of issues involving Bash, `getcwd()`, and OverlayFS. What started as a simple customer bug report turned into a deep dive worth sharing.

Hat tip to John Kemp for admitting that he was wrong to blame Spain's blackout on excessive reliance on inverter-based renewables and insufficient inertia, and 👏 for his very decent explainer on what actually happened. https://jkempenergy.com/2025/06/19/spains-blackout-blamed-on-poor-voltage-control/

Look, Veronica walks us through how to produce videos on #Linux, with kdenlive (for video editing), OBS (for capturing/streaming) and Inkscape (for thumbnails): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEFqdqRr18E

I have been using the same tools for many many years and can confirm: This stack works really well ✨

I make all my videos using Linux. Here's how.
