pm2222··on BGP zombies and excessive path hunting
/32 is not gonna matter when /48 is present. When /48 is not present, why wouldn’t /32 be advertised?

Interesting that this comment was added 9 days ago all of a sudden it pops up now with a 3hour stamp.
pm2222··on Altman Responds to $13B Revenue vs. $1.4T Spending

  “The biggest issue we are now having is not a compute glut, but it’s a power and… the ability to get the builds done fast enough close to power,” he said. “My problem today… it’s not a supply issue of chips. It’s actually the fact that I don’t have warm shells to plug into.”

This is concerning about chip makers NVIDIA/AMD and the alike
pm2222··on What's New for Fedora Atomic Desktops in Fedora Linux 43
2GB for /boot. Just wow.
pm2222··on BGP zombies and excessive path hunting
I thought the bigger /32 prefix should be advertised from AS64511 to both AS13335 and AS64510.

Is there free BGP peering for the purpose of only passing on the NLRIs?

It's interesting that on the "open positions" page, the location filter appears to be strictly string matching, e.g. "US" does not cover "New York, US"

pm2222··on Why Is SQLite Coded In C
These points strike me:

  Safe languages insert additional machine branches to do things like verify that array accesses are in-bounds. In correct code, those branches are never taken. That means that the machine code cannot be 100% branch tested, which is an important component of SQLite's quality strategy.

  Rust needs to mature a little more, stop changing so fast, and move further toward being old and boring.

  Rust needs to demonstrate that it can do the kinds of work that C does in SQLite without a significant speed penalty.
