I can see an image tag available in the cache in my project on cloud.google.com, but after attempting to pull from the cache (and failing) the image is deleted from GAR :(

A possibly better metric for your particular case (assuming you're interested in fastest bootup possibly achievable) is from our self-managed github-actions runners. Those boot times are in the 40-50s range. This is consistent with what others see, as far as I know. A good blog on this topic - including how they got boot-to-ready times down to 5s - that you might be interested in from the depot.dev folks: https://depot.dev/blog/github-actions-breaking-five-second-b...

I wasn't sure how to load the images back into docker at first. I tried `docker load` but I get this error:

    $ (cd ci-repack && tar cfv - .) | docker load

The documentation is great but it can be hard to find examples of common patterns, although it's getting better with time and a growing audience.

My pro-tip has been to prefix your searches with "vector dev " for best results on google. I think "vector" is/was just too generic.

A nice recent contribution added an alternative to prometheus pushgateway that handles counters better: https://github.com/vectordotdev/vector/issues/10304#issuecom...

I’ve been collecting bookmarks in Evernote and now obsidian for about a decade. I try to add as many tags as I hope will allow me to find an article again later. It’s often many months before I need to find something. My success rate at remembering a term from the title or the right tag is not great. I’ve been pretty impressed with zenfetch’s ability to search and find exactly what I was looking for. And this doesn’t even scratch the surface of what it can do when you want it to synthesize answers from many articles for you.

They’re also working on indexing your saved tweets which I’m excited about. It’s a giant pain to try to find liked tweets.

MLM is the Commonwealth Saga, if I recall. First book “Pandora’s Star”

I suppose I could try the Chrome bookmarks importer if I can import everything into chrome. But I can't find the import option after the initial signup workflow.

Syncthing is my key to keeping my ~/git tree in sync between the two environments. Just have to be careful not to try to flip back and forth quickly between local/remote as syncthing delays can be ~10s.

I've gone through a lot of hardware in that time. From an old dec alpha (kernel panic'd often) to only x86 these days.

In recent years I've started to use these low-cost, fanless, intel machines from aliexpress. They're usually pretty great. Recently I upgraded (ServeTheHome's reviews were very helpful!) from a box I got in 2018 from aliepxress that had 6x 1gbe ports to a newer box with 2.5gbe since my fiber ISP has 10gbe ports right now (and there are no cheap, fanless, low-power intel boxes with 10gig nic's). Specifically a Celeron N5105 (N6005 was not available earlier this year, so I canceled and ordered N5105) with 4x 2.5gbe nic's, this one[1] from Topton, though I believe other vendors on aliexpress are all selling basically the same thing.

The unit works pretty well, however, I noticed with OpenBSD 7.0 and 7.1 that one CPU core was constantly pegged at 100% servicing interrupts. Running `top -S` showed the acpi kernel thread was the culprit, and `systat` showed `acpi0` as the source of interrupts. The box worked fine and could route (with NAT and filtering) the full 2.5gbps internet connection fine, but it would run hotter and probably use more electricity than needed.

I enabled ACPI_DEBUG which did not make for a usable box at all due to the amount of debug prints being generated but it was enough to verify the interrupt spam coming from the ACPI GFE _L6F handler. A google search shows this is not particularly uncommon and is due to buggy motherboard firmware. Both Linux and FreeBSD have a way to disable interrupts on a live system. OpenBSD does not however. And FWIW, I booted an opnsense live CD based on FreeBSD and this interrupt storm was not happening. So I assume FreeBSD may have seen this particular bug or just happens to handle it already. This box should be fine with any of the FreeBSD based OS's. Which is often bundled on these firewalls you buy from aliexpress.

The usual fix for these interrupt storms from buggy BIOS's is an eventual fix from the vendor. In this case though I don't expect to ever seen a BIOS update for this box, and there really is not a website to go download one from anyway. The vendor on aliexpress assured me that if they ever release a new BIOS that they would tell me. I doubt this will ever happen.

In any case, I have "solved" the issue finally with a small kernel patch I found on the excellent openbsd mailing lists. The issue in that case was different, older hardware, but the symptoms were the same.

Long story short I am posting all of this here so that if someone else runs across this same issue they will be able to resolve it much faster than I was.

Patch for OpenBSD 7.1 kernel to ignore the L6F GFE interrupt storms: https://gist.github.com/joemiller/9f5698c5634d4a93d101985dc5...
