TL;DR: I have been silent for a while due to personal matters but I did a ton of stuff on OpenSMTPD, plakar and a handful of other projects.

TL;DR: Significant refactoring to improve its performance, implemented read and write semaphores to throttle chunkers and reduce memory usage, introduced a repository index and packfiles to decrease the number of I/O operations, also intrioduced a new HTTP storage backend.

TL;DR: TL;DR: a lot of work in plakar, but also on CDC and index optimization. Optimized go-fastcdc # I ran into a benchmark which included my implementation of the FastCDC algorithm, and it made me realise that it was not on par with alternative implementations:

TL;DR: I reworked the virtual filesystem layer in plakar, making it possible to write custom importers of data: use plakar to backup an s3 bucket, for instance.

TL;DR: plakar gained two minor features, snapshots fork-ing and snapshots tagging, which makes it possible to unlock several major new features in a relatively short future.

TL;DR: I found a printed copy of an assignment I had to do in 2005 back when I was a student to implement a system call for OpenBSD and Linux.

TL;DR: ChatGPT, an AI developed by OpenAI, is joining the poolp.org tech blog to serve as a proofreader and content enricher for articles written by human authors.

TL;DR: music and unity training, a bit of X programming in Go, began a journey in Jujulang a new languae, wrote a PoC set database called setdb, did some minor OpenSMTPD stuff.

TL;DR: I played with MIDI and ChatGPT. Code-unrelated work # I began a few week ago a certified training in music production which I’ll be attending for a couple weeks still, and I’ll be sharing here some of the things I work on.

TL;DR: I worked on earmuff and go-harmony, I played with ChatGPT. Re-focusing on go-harmony # As you may have read from my previous post, I have spent some time porting go-harmony to the Dart language and playing with Flutter to build apps that used dart-harmony.
