A Dell PowerEdge 530 serves as my house network’s router, firewall, DNS and NTP server. Today, pacman -Syu updated the Kea DHCP daemon from Arch version 3.0.3-1 to 3.0.3-6. The updated daemon wasn’t serving DHCP.

Due to Go compiler and runtime subtleties, some Go variables storage is allocated on goroutines’ call stacks.

The Veritasium chap made a video about Markov Chains. Veritasium outlines Markov’s original text-based experiment. The experiment seems like something that could be educational to duplicate.

You can decide for yourself that an unholy alliance of the Go compiler and runtime can allocate variables on the call stack. But doing so forces you to notice the small initial size of a goroutine’s call stack: 0x1000, or 4096 bytes.

One non-fortune and two true fortunes from the local strip mall Thai and Chinese restaurant.

I bought a refurbished Dell 7420e laptop to replace my aging Dell 7470. The 7470 has an S key that works irregularly.

Dell laptops have a “backlight”, and the letters on the black-body of the keys can glow under the right circumstances. Very handy when positioning your fingers on the keyboard when in dim rooms. After installing Arch Linux, the 7420e keyboard would not illuminate. The keyboard backlight worked, the POST flashed it during reboots.

After installing Arch Linux, the 7420e would not suspend when I closed the lid, it just stayed on, display lit up brightly.
