✨sparkle and shine✨

there have been VNC ones for a long time, so hosting a browser VNC client seems straightforward for them to add

It’s OK, the page boundary is at 4 kB (8 kB on Alpha) so nothing weird should happen.

Only if you're using the SLAB, SLOB, or SLUB allocators.


Lemme tell you about my new super-high-performance kernel memory allocator, SLURP (for Simply Lots of Unordered Random Places).

You know how everyone has at least 32gb of memory these days, and you only use like 6 if you don't have Chrome open? SLURP takes advantage of this by avoiding all those old-fashioned blocks and stacks that slow other memory allocators down. Here's how it works:
1. a program asks to allocate memory
2. SLURP picks a random number between 0 and MAXMEM, and hands that to the program as a pointer
3. ok that's your memory, go nuts

SLURP is blazingly fast and never gets bogged down with memory fragmentation or reference counting! It cuts the allocation / deallocation overhead by 50%, using the simple trick of never deallocating anything. And best of all, it encourages small and efficient programming, for self-defense! Because if your program uses 50mb of memory, it is 50 times more likely to crash some other bloated program that uses 2.5GB, than to be crashed by it.


Just, uh, don't open Chrome.

Is it a good idea to setup a separate group/user for accessing Samba shares? I'm setting up a new file server/home lab, and I've just installed and configured Samba so I can access a ZFS pool from my Windows machines. Currently, I'm just allowing access from my sole admin user because I wasn't sure if dealing with file permissions and ownership issues with a separate user would cause me headaches when copying files from different systems. However, I keep hearing "principle of least privilege" in the back of my mind and wondering if this is a security issue, even though this is a home server that only I have access to. Even if it's not a major security risk in my case, I'm using this as an opportunity to better familiarize myself with Linux admin, so I'd like to follow best practices.
