What do you mean by that? Are you having spam in your inbox or do mean deliverability issues to *.outlook.com?


Steadily growing spam sent to my Inbox. Delivery issues I have not had those recently but 3 years or so ago my job offer letter was not received. I was kinda spooked after that.


OK, thanks. well, that is indeed quite unfortunate.. regarding things like lost job offers and the like.. Sad state of affairs, i mean e-mail in 2022. But, as an mail-service operator myself, i feel like i can understand, more or less, both sides dealing with the spam issue.


Yes, whilst he has given so many other valuable talks around systems profiling, etc..

I firmly believe that this [1] still should be hanging in every system administrators bedroom around.

I do have it hanging in my office rather than my bedroom. I wouldn't recommend putting it in the bedroom unless one's spouse is also a sysadmin.


Maybe he should instrument his talks to see how much shouting there is in them, and check how that correlates with view count.


This is a flame graph I'd be interested in seeing from him on April Fool's Day


I think mcelog/rasdaemon deserve a mention there in the RAM section?


No Worries! The Google Server in Mountain View has had a disk failed in it's RAID and therefore the sqlite-DB has only half the iops to it's disposal. A new 500GB hard disk is already in dispatch with Amazon. These are the moments why Google is a proud Amazon Prime customer.


I know many people’s immediate reaction is that 500GB seems small, but remember, they’re not storing the whole internet — just an index of it.

The whole internet would need a much larger RAID, with literally dozens of hard disks.


To be fair, this is not actually all that far off the truth. Do napkin math on how much storage you'd need to index say 25 billion documents, and you'll see it's not actually a lot. 25 billion bytes is 25 Gb. How many bytes do you need per document (for the index)? A kilobyte, maybe? If so that's 25 Tb. While certainly not something you can fit on a thumbdrive, it's hardly something you need a planetscale computer cluster to store.

You may need it for the IOPS of actually using it, but that's another thing entirely.


They kind of do store the internet though, don't they? They store a cached version of most pages.


Tbh the source code of the whole internet would probably be a few PB at most, text is really cheap to store especially because it can be compressed. Images and videos are what makes the premise impossible because even with perfect compression you need an impossible amount of storage to store every video published by mankind.


Well, most of that is on youtube, so they kinda have a copy anyway :)


Yeah but pages are HTML and HTML compresses extremely well. With the latest algorithms you could probably get as low as one byte per page. Probably even better with a decent middle-out compression algorithm.

(Also yes, you are correct within the realm of reality, but not within the realm of comedy.)

Just take the “middle” out if the web. If it is more than 50kb excluding images but including css and scripts, just ignore that page.


Should be noted HTML compresses extremely well.


∞ * .1 = ∞

But the 25TB you showed above is a better prospect.


Sometimes you read something so ridiculous that it feels true.


But i have to say: Personally, i don't run k8s and it's ecosystem and am just entering the whole "declarative world" with NixOS.. but nonetheless, these occasions are very rare, Google/YT Operations is just so impressive and has to be up there, if not a the very top.


He's probably more referring to the amazon prime thing.


> A new 500GB hard disk is already in dispatch with Amazon

What if in fact Amazon uses EMC gear underneath


Search suggestions appear to be also down for me..

Why not use Firefox Developer Edition with uBlock?


Restic has support for rate limiting built-in.


And restic would then resume the backup next time it runs.

Any updates on the FreeBSD native in-kernel wireguard implementation?


It is currently living in the net/wireguard-kmod port. Works fine in FreeBSD 13.0 so far.


Excerpt from the Mutt OAuth readme page:

Mutt can present a token inside IMAP/POP/SMTP, but by design mutt itself does not know how to have a separate conversation (outside of IMAP/POP/SMTP) with the server to authorize the user and obtain refresh and access tokens. Mutt just needs an access token, and has a hook for an external script to somehow obtain one.

mutt_oauth2.py is an example of such an external script. It likely can be adapted to work with OAuth2 on many different cloud mail providers, and has been tested against:

But this isn't about "diametric opinions". As i understand, it's because of Rogan spreading proven misinformation about vaccines on his platform.


This is a dangerous slippery slope.

Mr Rogan’s discussion may contain misinformation, but so can many other discussions.

Are we to have real-time “fact checkers checking?

What do we do retroactively to all the people who retrospectively said untruthful things?

Certainly very few politicians would be allowed to speak at all.


I may have to write a browser extension to highlight greyed out, censored votes.
