Spouse gone on work trip:
Day 1: "I'll get so many home improvement projects done!"
Day 2: "I'll clean the house and get on top of chores"
Day 3: "I'll feed the kid and we'll at least survive"
Day 4: "Nothing wrong with candy..."

this is a fun way to do IPC between containerized processes with no setup required. it is a bit slow, 1 bit of info per function call.
NO LONGER! i figured out how to make it faster.

Turns out you can communicate across containers via 63-bits of available space in a shared lock you acquire on /proc/self/ns/time that all processes have access to.
No networking required. The post has a demo of a chat app communicating across unprivileged containers.

reading up on singapore since i know a few people from there (hi @kirancodes.me) and don't know anything about it.
one surprising thing to me: all 3 people i know from there have brown skin and i think are Indian ethnicity based on names. stats show only 9% of singapore is Indian.

was worried that i needed to pay a big "real estate excise tax" on the home purchase, but then saw online that the seller pays the tax not the buyer. YES!
so of course i need to use the extra money to pay for fixes to the 10 million minor things wrong with our 1941 house.
