Add me to the list, please!

If one simply wanted to maximize the amount of carbon removed from the atmosphere and ignored the agricultural aspect, would it also be possible to just have a conveyor belt carrying freshly ground rock dust with a fan blowing at it? Alternatively, if the process is too slow for that, a warehouse full of densely packed shelves, each coated in dust, with outside air being moved through it? Or does it rely on some other substance in the dirt? I'm pondering ways this could be scaled up purely for carbon-capture purposes.

F.L.U.D.D.

that's an obscure reference, i never see anyone talking about that game

no that just sounds like a bug

I mean, I get what you're saying, but the Internet Archive has limited resources as it is and doesn't appreciate being used as a CDN. They've said as much themselves on various occasions

why are you using the internet archive as an image host?!?

It's pretty uncommon for low-level system APIs to use callbacks in that way. Think about it: every time the kernel wants to notify the user of an event, it would have to call a function in userspace... but there are a few problems with that. For starters: which thread is it calling from? The user process isn't going to have stack mappings and whatnot set up for an arbitrary kernel thread. And if we set that aside for the time being, in order to actually run the callback, you'd have to make a context switch from kernel to user mode as well, for each event.

The kind of API shown in the example is much more common: userspace allocatesa buffer, makes a syscall to request the kernel to copy queued events into the buffer until it fills up or no more events are pending, and then iterate over them again in userspace. A higher-level userspace library might hide this away behind a simplified interface with a callback function, but somewhere down the abstraction hierarchy it's almost certainly going to end up looking something like this.

Yeah, although the neat part is that you can configure how much replication it uses on a per-file basis: for example, you can set your personal photos to be replicated three times, but have a tmp directory with no replication at all on the same filesystem.

Looks like a graphics driver issue. Are you using the proprietary Nvidia drivers or Nouveau?

However, if they were it'd likely be at least a little bit frightening

Have a look around

that's the joke

can't argue with that

having read all these other comments, i'm now feeling like i should come up with a more creative naming scheme... for what it's worth, my phone is named bob.
