Hello lemmings, I made a program to ping every IPv4 address and collect data on respondents. I am almost done, but I want feedback on things I should change or how I can improve my current record of 5,000 pings / second.

I am currently aware that I need to properly parse the data I receive on the receive socket, since it's possible the TTL router messages might be confused as replies. ICMP is used on networks to inform other machines of network problems.

One issue I'm aware of is the tuning that has to go into maximizing throughput while also avoiding a total system freeze. My code seems to spend too much time opening sockets that it leaves no room for the actual OS. My only fix currently is limiting the CPU time to the ping timeout I used.

The overall program works like this: It keeps a linked list / pool of task objects. All objects are initially in the "free list" and then when they become associated with a socket, they move to the "active list". The program first checks for updated sockets with epoll which results in like 5% of sockets giving a response. It then closes any tasks that have timed out via linked list in O(1) each. The slow part is when it creates new sockets, since it doesn't really know when to stop, besides when the non-blocking socket informs it that it would block. I implemented a time limit on sending that is currently the maximum of the ping timeout. To increase throughput it seems like I need to streamline how I send ICMP packets.

Disclaimer: I am not personally invested in the whole thing. I am not cool and remote like a mountain but I don't care that much about GOG.

As I understand, GOG sent out a newsletter promoting a game with Nazi symbols.

The game's developers released a statement in a reddit comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/1txlz7z/hey_gog_wtaf/opxpgf0/

Afterwards GOG made two statements:

1. https://old.reddit.com/r/gog/comments/1txmcyd/ts_gotta_be_racist_gog_explain/opxtour/
2. https://www.gog.com/forum/general/weird_subject_line_choice_for_a_newsletter/post60

I don't expect folks to read through the whole thing but some surface level thoughts would be appreciated. Like they make a lot of emotionally charged statements citing culture and I can't tell if they are genuine or hot air.

Der Beitragssatz für Arbeitnehmer und Arbeitgeber müsse 2028 von derzeit 18,6 Prozent auf 19,9 Prozent steigen, berichtete die „Bild“-Zeitung (Montag) unter Berufung auf interne DRV-Zahlen.

Bisher sahen die Prognosen dem Bericht zufolge ein Plus auf 19,8 Prozent vor. Für das ‌Jahr 2029 werde ein Anstieg auf 20 Prozent vorausgesagt, schrieb die Zeitung weiter. In den darauffolgenden Jahren solle der Beitragssatz auf 20,2 Prozent (2031), 20,5 Prozent (2032), 20,7 Prozent (2033) und 20,9 Prozent (2034) steigen. Von 2036 bis 2040 rechne die DRV mit einem ‌Beitragssatz von 21,1 Prozent. Nach bisherigen Planungen sei die DRV von einem Anstieg auf 21,2 Prozent im Jahr 2039 ausgegangen.

Der Sachverständigenrat hatte angesichts der demografischen Alterung vor einem drastischen Anstieg der Sozialversicherungsbeiträge gewarnt. Ohne Reformen ‌werde der Gesamtbeitragssatz von derzeit 42,3 ‌Prozent auf knapp 50 Prozent im Jahr 2040 steigen, heißt es in ‌dem am vergangenen Mittwoch vorgelegten Frühjahrsgutachten der Wirtschaftsweisen.

Humanity can raise living standards, reduce inequality and keep global heating within a 2C rise, according to a sweeping vision for planetary survival.

The report by the World Inequality Lab (WIL) aims to be the most comprehensive attempt yet to navigate the polycrisis that is pushing the world toward climate breakdown, political extremism and ever greater economic and social tension.
