    brain fried. searching #openzfsmastery for &quot;will&quot; and &quot;just.&quot; They might be necessary, but often indicate weak #writing. If the brain still won&#39;t fire, it&#39;s time for the passive voice hunt.

    Gotta give credit where it&#39;s due. Charlie Kirk swore that Texas would not turn blue in his lifetime, and he was right.

    &quot;Routinely taking snapshots more frequently than once every five seconds can disrupt the normal flow of transaction groups and conflict with the I/O scheduler and the write throttler. See Chapter 17 for more information but seriously, WHY are you trying to take snapshot every second of every hour, all day, every day?&quot; Grinding on #openzfsmastery to get something to tech review before my surgery knocks me out for the rest of the year. I would appreciate your support. https://mwl.io/spo...

    #OpenZFS includes arcstat, their standard tool to interrogate ARC stats. It&#39;s in python, so #FreeBSD doesn&#39;t install it. It&#39;d be really nice to have this as a package before #openzfsmastery comes out.

    Is there a better way to get values out of Linux /proc than grep e.g.: # grep size /proc/spl/kstat/zfs/arcstats #linux #sysadmin

    Today I got groceries and wrote a whole damn chapter of my new tech book. Tonight, I am not watching the news. I am gonna eat a chicken and mushroom pie from the British Pride Bakery, watch Star Trek, and converse with the rats.

    That&#39;s #openzfsmastery Chapter 15, on caches, done! Like the October &quot;See the Sausage Being Made&quot; post says, nothing concentrates the mind like the prospect of being hanged...

    Visiting a friend this weekend, and he mentioned network weirdness since switching to a new ISP. His printer would spew pages in the night. In the morning his laptop was running because it received a WoL packet, and so on. I guessed his IPv6 packet filter was not, offered to look. His ISP-provided &quot;firewall&quot; was an IPv4 NAT and an IPv6 router. No packet filtering by default, but the management app allowed creating rules to block outbound access from specific devices. So, if you&#39;...

    Our dear @zzclaybourne@wandering.shop&#39;s new book broke $8k! Huzzah! What if it breaks $10k? I hate being on video, so you can help ZZ and discomfit me. Everybody wins except me! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidiansky/khumalo-tales

    RE: https://wandering.shop/@zzclaybourne/117532902406421809 You have 15 minutes to make Zigs write a rat book. You know you want it. You know it&#39;s worth it.

    Okay, I called @zzclaybourne@wandering.shop&#39;s campaign for $8k on the second day it opened. Two hours from closing, it&#39;s at $8790. Another $210 would both be really cool, and prove me solidly wrong. Y&#39;all like proving me wrong. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidiansky/khumalo-tales

    The purpose of a system is what it does. The purpose of cryptocurrency is crime and money laundering. Every so often, though, I have an impulse to support bitcoin on my store. Take payment, immediately convert it to cash, transfer to my pocket. Wouldn&#39;t that be better than sending that cash to crooks? Then I come to my senses. That ecosystem soils all who touch it. Looking at the news today: I chose wisely.

    After decades of working with computers I am generally correct--after all, &quot;It will all end in tears&quot; is evergreen. That&#39;s why I encouraged @zzclaybourne@wandering.shop to Kickstart his new book. I wanted to be right about something happy for once! If this breaks $8k in the next 38 hours, he will net more than a trad pub advance would get him. Make the world better. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidiansky/khumalo-tales

    Got the &quot;All the Novels and Collections&quot; and &quot;The Full Michael&quot; updated on my bookstore for #TwistedPresents and #tormentedByTeledildonics. My art skills are marginal, but I am very pleased with how the image for TFM came out. Even if the youngsters won&#39;t get it. https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product/the-full-michael-2026-10/

    About 60 hours left to back @zzclaybourne@wandering.shop&#39;s new book. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidiansky/khumalo-tales Zigs has had a rough year. You&#39;d make it much better by dragging this thing past $8k. Even after fulfillment, that&#39;d earn him more than a midlist trad deal. Stick it to The Man. Back ZZ.

    I had plans to travel alone for Thanksgiving, but my shoulder surgery canceled them. Filed a claim with the airline insurance last Friday. The check arrived today. I am very surprised that something works the way it&#39;s supposed to!

    The new @zzclaybourne@wandering.shop book is within kissing distance of $7k. Not even a thorough kiss. More like how you kiss that one aunt on the cheek. No, not *that* aunt. The one you wish you could spend more time with. Give https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/obsidiansky/khumalo-tales that kiss. You won&#39;t regret it.
