"An app may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges"

"An app may be able to gain root privileges"

Hey, finally I won't be speaking at SpringIO this year. This means I should be happy I don't have to prepare the presentation during the Eastern holidays, right?
RIGHT? 😅

The carbon footprint of NFTs on Ethereum wasn’t looking great before The Merge, but it was nothing compared to on-chain Bitcoin NFTs

Yesterday Bitcoin mining company Luxor mined the largest block ever, containing almost exactly 4MB of data. Only 63 transactions could fit into the block, as the NFT used up the rest of the available space

The carbon footprint: ~888 metric tons of CO2, equivalent to the per passenger carbon footprint of taking a flight from New York to Tokyo and back - 466 times

☕️ On Java (virtual) threads and pools. Some thoughts on how to transition to "light" threads in Java carefully.
On my blog (https://www.greeneyed.org/post/virtual-threads/) or Medium (https://medium.com/@d.lopez.j/on-virtual-threads-and-pools-7bb34a894d51)
It also comes with a microbenchmark in GitHub to play with! (https://github.com/Verdoso/jmh-throttled-virtual-threads)

On Java (virtual) threads and pools

Much has already been written about the new feature known as virtual threads, introduced as a preview in Java 19, and about the changes that this feature will enable. Among those, we can find that the new virtual threads are light, as opposed to the regular ones tied to native threads, so there is no need to cache or pool them. So far, so good. Native threads are considered heavy, so you can create a limited number of them, but virtual threads are light so they are virtually, pun intended, limitless.
