Like everybody else, LWN is affected by the current turbulence in the political and economic spheres; we expect to get through this period, but there will be some challenges.

Und jetzt alle zusammen einmal nachsprechen, damit wir es uns gut einprägen, weil es immer wieder Leute falsch machen:

*X11 ist nicht das gleiche wie Xorg*

So wie es in dieser Überschrift falsch ist, denn der Support für X11-Anwengungen geht noch lange nicht in Rente, Xwayland sei Dank; es geht nur um den Support zum Betrieb von Gnome mit Hilfe von Xorg[1].

Overheard at the lab: “I don’t understand why people do drugs when they could be doing operating systems research instead.”

@deneb Well, as long you are aware of the memory foot print, all good.
Have an eye on the nf_conntrack slab (/proc/slabinfo).

@deneb If you don't need port translation, consider static nat using `tc-nat(8)`.

@bmgnrs @phoenix Thx! TBH, I was interested in the particular variant of @phoenix's version. All the subtle differences make it interesting.

I don't know why and how, but it took me years to find this extremely useful trick:

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.
