Memory usage had been very stable at 750 MB until it dropped sharply to just 240 MB (without cache).

CPU usage had been between 12% and 20% until it dropped sharply to only 2%.

Swap usage had remained relatively stable between 6 and 7.5 GB until it dropped to only 240 MB.

The load average over 1-minute, 5-minute and 15-minute intervals had between between 3.5 and 6 until it dropped to just 0.35.

So, this is what it looks like when #Snowflake suddenly crashes on your server… 👀

Anyway, I still do strongly encourage everyone whose Internet is not censored to install the Snowflake proxy! It helps people from authoritarian countries connect to the Tor […]

“What are you doing? Any plans for today?”

“yeah, so i'm using the axiom of choice to implement mutual exclusion in #css with some black magic”

“But… why?!”

“well, you see, there are certain people on the elephant app who disable JavaScript in their browser, enable 'resistFingerprinting' and […]

So I made a thing: #russia​n-speaking visitors are now greeted with an anti-war popup on https://forgoodeyesonly.eu and https://blog.forgoodeyesonly.eu 🇺🇦

Feel free to copy it to your own website! You can try it out without changing your browser's language on […]

“#Optionals are so tedious to deal with 😮‍💨”

You know what's more tedious? #NullPointerException‎s

Does anyone have an idea how to send #OpenPGP-signed e-mails in #Java? Instead of inline #PGP, the PGP/MIME format defined in RFC 3156 should be used: www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3156.txt

I already have a code draft, but the signature it attaches doesn't […]

Just when I tried to quickly pull from a Git repo, #Codeberg went down and has been unavailable for >40 minutes straight 🥲

Just wasted >7 hours wondering why #Maven failed to generate my JavaDoc with #PlantUML class diagrams.

The reason? For unknown reason, #UMLDoclet (a plugin for JavaDoc used to generate the diagrams) throws an IllegalArgumentException if you set #JavaDoc's output level to “verbose”. 🤡 😭

This […]

No, an end-user Alice has no legal rights she could enforce against the licensee Mallory of a #Copyleft-licensed work created by Bob.

In other words, if Mallory, for example, fails to provide Alice with the modified source code of Bob's Copyleft-licensed program, Alice is in no position to sue […]

The lesson is this: Abolish the retarded special #copyright legislation for software! #FreeSoftware by default!

That's because executing, copying or loading into RAM computer code without the programmer's permission is a copyright infringement, and infringing someone's copyright is a criminal offence. Abetting or aiding in criminal offences is a criminal offence itself.

That could possibly even apply to […]

Did I just find the most retarded criminal offence in German law?

• You write a program and publish only your own source code, no binaries & no foreign code.
• You keep your code proprietary.
• Your code has an import statement referencing a foreign copyright-protected library.

That's no […]

We all hate #LinkRotting, right? URLs becoming inaccessible because websites are restructured, blogs deleted, software docs refactored etc. #DeadLinks

Why don't we put a JSON feed in .well-known to tell subscribers when URLs change, possibly even in advance?

For example, if you plan to move […]

Uptime of Codeberg.org: 99.21% Codeberg Pages: 96.57% Everything else: 100%

Oh, no! #Codeberg and #CodebergPages are down :(

Programming meme using the Angela-Merkel-with-parrots template. Merkel happy: “String domain equals user input; replace first occurrence of ‘https’ with an empty string”. Merkel panicking angrily: “if user input starts with https, throw new IllegalArgumentException”.

Seriously, developers, please don't make entering a #domain or #URL a hassle by yelling at me for wrongly prepending or omitting the protocol (e.g. “https://”

Just add it if it's required (but missing) or remove it if it's there (but shouldn't be). #UserExperience #ux
