Is there such a thing as "burnout" ? Or is it just white-collar privilege masquerading as a legitimate mental health/life issue.
This is an honest question -- I go back and forth on this myself, so I'm curious what people think

It's painfully obvious that Wasm is the ideal sandbox for not just agents, but also (and especially) executable artifacts produced by agents.
but damn, if it isn't a shame we haven't made it accessible enough that developers leverage it for such by default

happy to report im still dreaming about plan9 and fuschia, but less so about configmaps, so thats progress in my book
had multiple dreams last night that spanned topics including ConfigMaps, fuschia, plan9, BGP and anycast, back to back to back.
so, safe to say touching grass is very much on the agenda this weekend

People aren’t ready for the next blog post from @loopholelabs.io
If you thought the XDP post was interesting (linked below) this next one is going to blow your mind.
Here’s a hint:
What do chess engines and NAT’s have in common?

Nice that one can use network-bypass techniques without crazy vendor frameworks or kernel mods. Even cooler that one can recreate iptables functionality like this for faster inter-host networking

An eBPF Loophole: Using XDP for Egress Traffic
XDP is Linux's fastest packet processor but only handles incoming traffic. We found a loophole in how the kernel determines packet direction to make it work for outgoing traffic too!

Using XDP for Egress Traffic
XDP only works for ingress. We found a loophole that lets it work for egress. Here's how we did the impossible.

Absolutely love how sales people call their areas "Territories"; pure Western Expansion/early 19th century American Frontier vibes
"Beyond the mighty Mississippi? that's mine for pillaging"
"Any Patagonia vest b2b saas man found along the Pacific is fair game for my outfit"

one thing i love about systems programming is that when you get low level enough, things are extremely simple, and from there, you can build things beyond anyone's imagination

Howdy @d-philla.bsky.social ! 👏 Such a great talk from wasm/io I just wathced over on YT; quick Q...
I'm imagining sandboxing runtimes in here (go / jvm), what is the ceiling? At first, something alpine:latest - then full go server, then full nodejs serverless or web servers.

Just watched your talk. If Boxer is a kind of Docker, and Marcotte is the Linux, what would be the Kubernetes of this?
