Software engineer working for NVIDIA. What I say here is me speaking for me, not my employer. Sometimes while not hacking for work or fun, I try to find fun places to go #hiking.

rsync and outrage

I gave up blogging a long time ago (apart from an occasional thing about ArduPilot), I tend to just write code and hope people find it…

Just returned home in Wisconsin after a couple weeks mostly near Moab. While walking through the native plants and yard weeds in our back yard, my wife and I were struck by how fragrant and moist the air is. She asked me “how do people live here?”

For some reason this rock in Utah made me think about some guy in Nebraska.

Looks like synchronized rubber chickens flying.
I'm sober.

I have weeds coming up in my yard.

There's something that #ZFS #OpenZFS does at mount time (I'm told it's processing deferred frees) that sometimes takes an incredibly long time (hours), and I'm still struggling to understand: why must this be done at mount? (And why mount and not pool import?) Why can't it continue to be deferred like it was during operations?

Still waiting for `zfs mount -a` after an unplanned power outage, 90 minutes after restore.

 

attention anybody with substantial experience with Rust and networking: my team is hiring!!

one of few rust jobs I'm aware of that is not web 3.0 horseplop.

fully remote (US timezones), good culture, good trans-inclusive healthcare, good work/life balance, and a nice defensive cybersecurity mission i can get behind.

feel free to reach out for more details and the job posting.

Can anyone recommend a combination of hardware/software/host for webcams that I could point at some heavily trafficked backyard bird feeders? I’m about to enter a period of reduced mobility and would love to be able both to keep watching and share the joy.

(edit: ideally, something that can stream publicly as well as be viewed in-house)

Halo there!
