Seriously impressed with Victoria Logs.
We're replacing our ElasticSearch cluster (27 nodes, ~588 CPU Cores, with 4656gb RAM) with a single VL Node (8 CPU Cores, 64gb RAM).
We shipped 100m logs to VL in the last hour - box is basically idling with only a couple of GB of RAM used. Any random search query returns in a fraction of a second.
Seriously seriously impressive.

Q: "Why have you suddenly been reworking coredumping, Christian?"
A: "Because I'm a clown and also I had it with all the CVEs because we provide a **** API for userspace."
So now that @torvalds merged the pidfs and initial coredump work things are already better but I have more work there.
In other news, there's two new CVEs in userpace that should be gone completely by installing a pidfd into the umh or by using the coredump socket.

If some website asks for your birthday without really needing it, use month and date of a deceased relative you liked.
When the marketing birthday emails come, youβll think of them instead of feeling exploited by a heartless company. And you can treat any voucher they send you as a gift from that relative. Like today, when Lidl gave me a free cake care of my grandmaβ¦ #lifehack
