There is that famous technical interview question that goes: what happens behind the scenes when you type in a domain name and press enter? The intention is you talk all about resolving DNS of the host, TCP things and HTTP etc.
A more truthful answer would include:
- Your email address is sent to launch darkly to get applicable feature flags.
- A gigabyte of data is logged to DataDog
- Details about the way you moved your mouse are sent to segment.io
- A bunch of telemetry is sent to Sentry.
- Ads are injected from Facebook.
- Metrics are recorded to Hubspot.
- Page renders in browser.

Capturing actor Robert O’Reilly as the bug-eyed high chancellor was tricky but oh so satisfying. Getting the LEGO pieces in the correct colors was another matter all together. You might have seen some of my frustrations in my LEGO posts these last few months.
The result was totally worth it however. This is likely a one-off creation. #StarTrek #DeepSpaceNine

I have recorded five podcasts in the last three weeks. I am a creature of pure podcasting. I will be changing my title on LinkedIn to Professional Podcast Guest.
@evacide One might even say you're a Proud Prolific Professional Podcast Guest if one's a fan of excessive alliteration.

so linux seems to exhibit this pattern of behavior wherein they:
- don't have any concept of i/o scheduling, or any way for applications to define a sequence of data dependencies, just heuristics
- any non-posix i/o API SIMPLY MUST be zero-copy in the kernel, because zero-copy is the only thing that is fast
- page cache entries are free real estate. is it the result of a read? is it the result of a write? who knows! it's visible everywhere immediately!
A core primitive underlying this bug is splice(): it transfers data between file descriptors and pipes without copying, passing page cache pages by reference. When a user splices a file into a pipe and then into an AF_ALG socket, the socket's input scatterlist holds direct references to the kernel's cached pages of that file. The pages are not duplicated; the scatterlist entries point at the same physical pages that back every read(), mmap(), and execve() of that file.
so the splice() operation avoids copying through userspace. but you can improve perf compared to userspace copy without literally just handing out mutable refs. you can literally do the copy in kernel space
This in-place design is the root cause of the vulnerability. It places page cache pages in a writable scatterlist, separated from the legitimate write region by nothing more than an offset boundary.
they don't even have refs that enforce read/write permissions?

Wandering the #PyConUS expo floor I was able to find a company that did not once use "AI" in its marketing materials and in a 15-minute conversation nobody said "agentic" even once. In the spirit of rewarding what we want to see in the world, check them out: https://phemeral.dev
Falls mir jemand aus #Magdeburg #fahrradbubble einen Tipp geben kann, wie ich am besten zu einem Interviewtermin nach Gatersleben radle, gerne!
Vielleicht hat @MDradelt da Vorschläge?
P.S. Mir wurde beim Verfassen gerade Englisch als Sprache angezeigt, @christianschwaegerl
hast du die Trööt-Sprache auf Englisch eingestellt?
@uwesinha and austria, but, meh.

Titin grossed me out as a child so much, i would rip out the pages from the Billikéns i used to read as a child. they were produced in Argentina and introduced me to Mafalda and the wonderful photo essay aesthetics popularized by the publishing house Dorling-Kindersely.
i have hated TinTin since forever and use it as a measure for not just how racist a person is, but anti-Black.
cannot tell you how disappointed i am that Stephen Spielberg and Peter Jackson made a whole ass movie about Tintin
Long time no see, Mr. Lordi!
“The badge is a responsibility, not a V.I.P. pass,” said Rob D’Amico, a former F.B.I. special agent and hostage rescue team operator. With Mr. Patel, he said, “the pattern is clear — exotic locations, exclusive access that no member of the public could ever get, and a support staff working overtime to make it happen.” Astonishing self indulgence and tone deafness. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/15/us/politics/patel-fbi-travel-snorkeling-pearl-harbor.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share
