@anticdent @elmiko @ruivieira oh dear the thread has steered back into my wheelhouse!

I've got plans to further improve the JVM's behaviour in container environments, hopefully I'll carve out time to work on them in the near future. The problem is partially accounting for other processes (e.g. readiness probes, liveness probes) that might be occasionally launched in the same cgroup, so we can't eat 100% of the memory limit. Gauging what % is tricky

my pleroma session somehow lost my preferences/style (classic mac) so I've taken the opportunity to "upgrade" to CDE → https://plthemes.vulpes.one/themes/cde-arizona/

@pwaring yeesh I wouldn’t want to have been to that film club un-forewarned :)

I really don’t have a very high bar for Firefox, and they keep falling under it

Yesterday was my first skate in a month or so and I’m *tired*

@textfiles are you going to end up with some equivalent of the disintegration loops?

Oh no people are actually reading my Haskell streaming blog post

Oh hey I made Haskell Weekly News again https://haskellweekly.news/issue/461.html

@pndc wow this is more info than i anticipated with my idle toot :) thank you

@loren *inside* doom (itself running on something stupid)

@hyperreal burying the lede slightly is the “Hugo” project. Moving the website off WML must be a massive undertaking but such a good idea

Rust has an m68k backend which seems somehow related to the Linux m68k community. I wonder if it can build m68k binaries that would execute (even boot) on an Amiga? Sans Linux etc

@jess I’ve seen several hardcore Excel users rubbish Google Sheets but for the level of usage I have (which isn’t “live in the spreadsheet” but it’s still substantial) i actually prefer it. Accessing them on phone though is terrible. Is Excel’s mobile app actually usable?
I think Collabora’s thing is derived from libreoffice but I’ve never tried it

@elmiko @anticdent heh :) I don’t write much Java. I contain it, and sometimes hack on the VM, but that’s C++

I’ve used git daily for 15 years and there’s plenty I didn’t know in this excellent post https://blog.gitbutler.com/how-git-core-devs-configure-git/

Today’s coding was like waving a metaphorical machete through thickets of legacy. It felt good

I borrowed my first book from The Internet Archive @internetarchive Today. A late-70s Computer Science academic text
