Kasparov and Pussy Riot.
Yeah, very _very_ happy I don't have to go to Russia anymore. -
Cryotheraphy.
I miss the days I studied medicine in college. (I stopped because you can't even become a _nurse_ without having to give people injections, and I have a problem with needles.)
So about ten years ago, we figured out how to bring people back from the dead (at least in a very limited way), and it barely even made news.
For years people weren't ( Read more... ) -
Oh right, livejournal.
In case it isn't obvious, I went back to my other blog when the parallels gig ended. I learned a bunch and Kir is a great guy (running the OpenVZ both with him at scale was the highlight of the whole experience), but looking back I have a few observations ( Read more... ) -
todo list collating.
My todo list has once again exploded to the point where everything is distracting me from everything else and I'm forgetting what my todo items ARE, so it's time to write it down and prioritize again. (And this doesn't even include long-term stuff like containerizing the 9p filesystem or fuse, or testing LXC on non-x86 hardware platforms.)

Yay code review. NFS Lifetime rules are still brain-bending.
Ok, found a workaround for the linux-2.6.39-rc1 hang that Jens Axboe's been distracted from solving for a couple weeks: disable preemption. So I can go back to testing/developing against linus's current -git tree instead of 2.6.38, which is good ( Read more... ) -
Back from a week in Moscow.
So I got my NFSv3 containerization patches submitted. There are three of them for the basic network namespace support for NFSv3 in what's probably correct approach. So far, nobody's cared to comment on them (even the people who were interested in the topic before, who I cc'd on the submission), although I tracked some down on skype and they ( Read more... ) -
I need more test cases.
I've either run into a weird subtle bug in the kernel, or a weird subtle bug in kvm, and I can't tell which it is ( Read more... ) -
Hating NFS in new ways.
So I got my quick and dirty NFS fix tested enough to post to the NFS list, and I've been focusing on the non-quick-and-dirty fix. Let's start at the beginning. ( Extensive geekery ) -
Why debugging is harder than coding.
To test NFS containerization, I need to set up conflicting network routing. I need to come up with something the container can access but the host can't, and vice versa. To do this, I used my three layer setup (laptop/kvm/container, described here) so I can set up routings on the laptop which are a couple hops away from the point of view of the ( Read more... )
