JURASSIC PARK was released 32 years ago today. Also, Jurassic Park is a cautionary tale about how you compensate IT staff :P
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.
To put it bluntly: starting around the beginning of March, we have observed a distinct drop in both new subscriptions and renewals. [...] #OpenSource #Linux #LWN
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].

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.
