I last talked about epithet two years ago, in 2023 , when I started kicking around ideas to make it general purpose. I'm pleased with how it's turned out, so I want to start talking about some of the design decisions. I dare not document it yet, for fear someone may use it, but that's probably coming. Even though it never had a proper 1.0, I am calling this v2 in my head as it is not at all compatible with the previous iteration, and....

In April 2025, I’ve ordered two OrangePi RV2, as soon as they announced Ubuntu 22.04 support, they are running 24x7 since then. The Ky X1 CPU is a RISC-V (RISC-V is open and royalty-free), 8 Core, the architecture is riscv64, (so not arm64/aarch64).

There are now multiple AI performance engineering agents that use or are trained on my work. Some are helper agents that interpret flame graphs or eBPF metrics, sometimes privately called AI Brendan ; others have trained on my work to create a virtual Brendan that claims it can tune everything just like the real thing. These virtual Brendans sound like my brain has been uploaded to the cloud by someone who is now selling it (yikes!). I'v....

Let's explore and deobfuscate the input stack on Linux. Our aim is to understand its components and what each does. Input handling can be divided into two parts, separated by a common layer. We’ll try to make sense of all this, one thing at a time, with a logical and coherent approach.

I presented a session at the .NET Conference Italia 2025 in Milan a couple of weeks ago. The title was “Integrating our applications with LLMs and AI via MCP Servers”. It was well received; there were good questions throughout the talk and in the hall afterward. Surprisingly, live coding and demos went relatively smoothly. The fine guys at ASP Italia just published the video in case someone is interested. Yeah, it is in Italian. I g..

If you want to understand time — which is how you come to befriend life — turn to stone. Climb a mountain and listen to the conversation between eons encoded in each stripe of rock. Walk a beach and comb your fingers through the golden dust that was once a mountain. Pick up a perfect oval pebble and feel its mute assurance that time can grind down even the heaviest boulder, and smooth even the sharpest edge.

Everytime I go to a waiting room and am subjected to the background noise of daytime TV, I'm baffled by how insipid and obnoxious every second of it is. Who is this for? Why do they still bother? Even the old people in these waiting rooms just look at their phone. Silence, or some nice music, would be infinitely preferable. Are there seriously still people who sit down and watch this commercial laced junk, as an activity in itself? Even in ..

They have rebranded slightly from Microstrategy, now called just Strategy. I have been trying to sort the signal from the noise, which isn't all that obvious.

With all the medium-to-very-low-quality productions we’ve been accustomed to from Netflix, it was a pleasant surprise and a relief to watch Train Dreams last night.

The film evokes our own memories, little joys and sadnesses, discoveries, losses, and hopes, bringing grace to our self-reflection. The film is heartbreakingly beau..

I was walking early this morning, as usual , when I came across an unusual advertising sign. It was in Spanish, text only, red background and black typography. I don’t comprehend Spanish well enough to read it, so I photographed it and sent it to Serena, who promptly replied with the translation. Embarrassingly, just yesterday, I got a severe reprimand from Serena because I did not know or remember what day it was today. When I got back,..
